You're over thinking this.

We can’t use Billy Snow Mates (or anything like it) as it has negative connotations.
Billy - Billy Bunter – Punter
This is the same reason that I “never” use nick-names in a ski class as they may be derogatory, even if their mates use them. e.g my name is John and this is Smelly. Fair enough they may pong a bit, but they have not employed a ski instructor to bring any (possibly) hurtful name-calling into their holiday situation.
Along the same lines, the skiers may have no mates (for a couple of hours or even the whole holiday), but it’s their holiday, they have paid to enjoy it. I would imagine the people on their own for a few hours may not mind the Billy No Mates tag, but if someone has arrived alone, does bringing up the possibility that they may be social inept, increase their enjoyment of our product. I doubt it. |
They (whoever "they" are), are a) unlikely to be there or choose to be there if they are socially inept. And, b) if they are socially inept, it is more than likely they wouldn't get the reference.
As a TO, perhaps the reference to Billy Bunter - Punter says more about your view of the buying clientèle than about their view of themselves. I've certainly never thought of my customers in that way and nor of myself, in that regard, as a holiday maker.
| Quote: |
| Remember that the idea is to simply allow people who may be skiing alone to meet up with other who also may be skiing along. e.g They may have arrive on holiday alone, they may have dropped off the other people in the party into ski school, the other members of their group may not wish to ski for the day/morning, etc. |
In which case the vast majority of sane snow sports lovers would immediately identify with their "predicament" and the reference and solution.

You can't use "Waynes World".
It alludes to both levels of excellence and times of party which Wayne would be contractually obliged to deliver.

Meet the Mountain...as in both senses i.e. you meet people and also get to explore the resort.
...not in the third sense, that you fall on your face.
