Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi

I have read horror stories of people paying large deposits for chalets that dont exist, turning up to resorts where it is a fake booking and the chalet is already booked.

Ok , I put up an ad to go skiing over xmas period and join group / chalet etc.

I have been approached by an offer which all appears to be very genuine but just doesnt add up. I have been provided with login details to Skiline website confirming a booking, impressive email address from German law firm, even facebook details, complete impressive

( Just bear in mind my ad states I am 46 single male looking to ski.)

What doesnt add up is why would a 28 yr old young attractive girl want to go away with a complete stranger, share a room in a chalet ????

So before I consider sending off money ,has anyone else been sucked into an offer 23 December , Courchevele 1 week , Chalet Triolet booked through Skiline , ladies name Olga E******a

She has one advert on this site and another advert on skiline website

Apologies to Olga if genuine but seems odd to me?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Yes, there are a lot of scams out there which is why everyone starts looking gift horses in the mouth. I can't say for sure which is yours but I would consider the following-

1. Where are you sending the money? If legit, then you should be fine (well, except maybe for The Crying Game possibility)
Have you look at reviews operator, etc.

2. Have you tried contacting the Chalet directly?

Last year, I got a free room at the Grand Hyatt Aspen that had been sitting unclaimed for a day on Epic...
http://www.epicski.com/t/97599/breckenridge-11-30-12-04-free-accommodations-really#post_1269483

Don't think anyone took the free room at Breckenridge partly out of skepticism and partly out of the fact that nobody who needed it saw the offer- Yes, some people like myself spend a lot of time of these boards, but 90+% of skiers don't. That is why I end up offering great prices on Chalet Frisco here (and more at Epic) but still get more bookings from the general public at higher prices.

As a 46 year old male, can you afford to risk a few hundred quid for a 1 in 100 chance that this is genuine and you will get your bones rattled repeatedly by a nubile 20 something for an entire week?

If so, chance it.

If not, don't. Or perhaps do. It does sound dodgy, if nothing else because you could end up with a considerable invoice to pay at the end of the week for "company".

If you're considering booking - with www.skiline.co.uk the terms and conditions state (sect 4) that they are bonded: Why don't you verify the bond by calling the CAA or alternatively you can check yourself on : http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=490&pagetype=65&appid=2&mode=detailnosummary&atolNbr=7018

It's possible like most Snowheads that Olga skis and that your rush to buy new trendy underwear may be wasted Embarassed

If you do accept this tantalising offer, please tell us how it turns out!
