Hiya. I want to put a group together for a catered chalet holiday in France/Italy/Austria flying from Gatwick in Feb/Mar. I’m solo this year but I still want to ski! I don’t care too much about the destination – but not Bulgaria or Andorra. There’s some nice deals out there right now for chalets, so I’m seeing if other singles/couples are interested in forming a group. Me? A 49-year-old journo and intermediate skier. Never done a black run – happy to pootle around. You? Beginner/expert, male/female, young/old, single/couple. Doesn’t matter as long as you’re friendly and don’t mind hanging out in a mixed ability group, which is inevitably what it will be. As I’ll be chilling out with a book after dinner most evenings, a quiet resort suits me, but I’ll go with the flow. I’m looking to pay around £650 a head all-in. Email me if you’re interested. We’ll see how many takers there are then see what’s available, but people must be able to move quickly when a deal comes up. No money will go through me – everyone books separately through the website involved. If that sounds like a plan to you, email me on: paul.newton@fav-house.com

welcome to Snowheads, newt. I see you've not had any replies, probably because in Snowhead-land old gits are a lot older than 49.
Rather than try to put your own group together, which is a headache, why not look at joining something which is already fixed up? This, for example, http://www.insideoutskiing.com/holidays/dolomites.html
I have just done a pre-season short trip to Tignes with Inside Out skiing and the vast majority of those involved were single (and many well over 49!). The coaching is first class (who says you can't be doing black runs one of these days?).
by the way, it's probably best to remove your email address, in case you get spammed. You can ask people to send you a personal message, which gets round that problem.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for the replies guys.
Pam - I wasn't aware of the Dolomites trip, so I'll check it out.
And yeah, I know 49 isn't old. I just wanted to make it clear that I'd be spending my time on the slopes rather than in the bars - not that I've got anything against bars, mind. I just find it harder and harder to ski on a hangover. Hold on a minute, perhaps 49 is old...

OLD GITS.... whilst 49 in some eyes namely ,<CharlieG> IS geriatric, its not for the majority of us. In fact your veritable youth may be scaring off some of a more sedate disposition..
Dont worry though Next year you can join us at the Over 50 club - usually 5 or 6 trips planned each season
You can find them at http://www.arp050skiclub.co.uk
Good luck this year!
