 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello,
I am on gardening leave from my job and have a lot of time. Daytime TV is just not doing it for me.
Does anyone want to go skiing?
I would like to find someone like minded, of similar skiing level and to share travel/accommodation costs, and dig me out of an avalanche if it comes to that.
Skiing type: Advanced to expert and off-piste whenever conditions are good, preferable accessed by ski-lift (but can skin/hike if it is worthwhile)
When: Jan and/or Feb - I am free - as soon as more snow is forecast then I would like to go. Might be best to avoid half-term weeks - due to cost/crowds.
Where: France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy. France probably best if driving, maybe Italy if flying.
Transport: I can drive from London (I have a small estate car); alternatively can fly somewhere and rent a car
Accommodation: don't care - just needs to be cheap and convenient. Can find somewhere when get there easily enough, in low/mid season.
Guides: Happy to share if can find a small group, but I tend to find it too expensive between just two. Can join ski-club leaders on advanced days.
How long: undecided
I'll try and do everything as cheaply as possibly but realistically I guess it could cost about £100/day for fuel/tolls/accommodation/lift passes/meals. More if use guides.
Would like to find someone who is a good skier, has own ski/safety equipment and isn't too fussy about accommodation.
alternatively I'd be happy to join an existing group, or share a package deal.
I am a bloke, late-30s.
send me a message if interested.

elbrus55,
Can't present myself as a potential partner in crime, but if you find someone suitable to play with or just decide to head out on your own, I'm in Tignes for 4 weeks from Sunday with the OH and could probably provide a bed / bunk and someone to ride with if you pass through the Haute Savoie.
Not a solution for you, but seemed churlish not to offer.

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

update;
scarpa/zammo - thanks for suggestions/offers.
I briefly interrupted my Sooty viewing (it is still on!) to book a cheapo last minute chalet package to Val D leaving tomorrow for a week. There's a little bit of snow forecast. I will hopefully find someone to ski with by going along to the ski club GB meeting point; or in the chalet.
Message me if you are in town and want to meet up.

@elbrus
I would be interested in some off piste/white powder adventures late Feb.
Ski level is anywhere on the mountain really. Done a lot of off piste in St Anton, and could recomend. I prefer BB accom, keeps the cost down-its the snow that matters!
Am male, 44, have safety equipment.
