 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey,
Im 28, solo female from london looking to try out skiing or boarding for the first time, just want some cool people to go with!
1 week during last 2 weeks of Feb or last 2 weeks of March.
No preference on location really but to narrow it down, Andorra, France or Bulgaria, just becuase i heard they were good for beginners and are a bit lively, but im open to suggestions.
hope to hear from you soon!

Are you keen on joining a UCPA Chamonix all-inclusive package from 19 Feb 2012? It’s working out to be about £580 for the full board, hire, lessons (and cheaper if not required). I’m a beginner-intermediate snowboarder and have been to the French alps a couple of times last year.
Flights (ex London) are relatively cheap, about £100 return + transfers c.£50
Let me know if you're interested as i'm keen on joining up with others as well.

Hello,
I have not skiied for years and years and finally going to go this year! I am going solo and was thinking of booking with Action-Outdoors, staying at a UCPA, possibly La Plagne, but i'm flexible, they have some great deals. I have two weeks off work at the end of March so was thinking of going then. I'm Birmingham based 34 years old, if you're interested give me a shout.

Hi dee3879 and gillphill83, UCPA is a great place to learn to ski (or board).... their formula of including ski pass, equipment hire and instruction in their packages make it probably one of the most economical ways to either learn from scratch or get good quality instruction to help you improve too.
From my own experience as a well travelled UCPA'er (even though I'm officially too old now) La Plagne is a really good UCPA centre, compared to many of the others and with the nursery slop right outside the door, very convenient for beginners too. Some people have said that the next step up onto the greens and blues can be quite a challenge but from what I remember there are lots of options for beginners and intermediates. You might also consider Flaine - again a really comfortable centre and very convenient for beginners slopes - pretty much just across the road and down some steps from the front door - almost ski-in for more intermediate+ skiers too. However, if you want more night-life though, do consider Chamonix - the centre is pretty much right in the middle of town.
If you do book with Action Outdoors have a look at their solos weeks too - they usually attract a good crowd of like-minded people who, like you, want to get in more skiing but can't go with their friends on that trip. You can use the discount code SP2010 to get £10 off each booking too, but I would hurry and book as when I looked the other day availability is getting limited for some centres and dates for full or half time instruction.
Good luck and have fun!
