 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I haven't skii'd for a few seasons and I booked a room-share holiday by myself last month to val d'isere and am (re-) hooked!
Two twenty-somethings from London intend to book for end of March (around 23rd but flexible) for any resort, although I've researched and have a few in mind.
One skiier one boarder, non-smokers & tidy, intermediates+, and we're not unwilling to meet beforehand if that's a thing (am new to this forum).
I look forward to hearing from you all!

Hello razaz.
I'd like to get away around the same time. I'm a 40-yr-old beginner/intermediate boarder, been away twice before with groups, looking for the same again anywhere in Europe.
I already speak French and German and could easily learn Italian if that's where you were thinking of going.
I would prefer to leave from Manchester, but I would assume whatever you book would have different departure options.
What's your budget range?

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

Good question wiz, I oughta have said our aim is a self-catering accommodation to keep the budget small (I just had a high budget trip and I'd like to balance it out).
Location/resort is up for discussion though I think we can all agree to a place near a ski lift without having to take a bus etc. is ideal 
Manchester should be fine - one of the packages I had in mind excluded the flights so flying to Grenoble for e.g. on the 23rd oughtn't be a problem.
I'd have to discuss all this with my friend so please PM me a contact detail and we'll keep in touch, thanks a bunch.

Have you tried UCPA style trips before? Dorm style so works out low cost. Ski pass, rental, lessons, and all meals! Www.action-outdoors.co.uk
I would recommend tignes. Great skiing on your doorstep. Stayed there before and might be there march 23rd.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the hint!
Although we can invest in sub-£300 trips and if we don't find a group, I might try UCPA and spend that little bit (quite a bit) extra as the lessons are great.
As we're trying to budget though, we'll see if we can travel to 4 person SC chalet.

razaz03, still looking for 2 to join you and your mate? Me and my mate are looking to do the same. Any chance you will be up for looking at going around 30th march instead though? I know it's late n the season so will have to pick somewhere we are more likely to get snow. I'm sure we can find a cheap deal for 4 though.

Still looking for people/ got any plans coming together? I've just managed to get the week off work starting 23/3/13 and want to get in a really cheap week skiing. I'm a 29 yr old bloke from SW London, and my mate who might possibly be on it is the same. I've got to keep it as cheap as poss, I found one for accomodation and lift pass for £120 each for a week with 4 pple (or £160 pp if 3). but you got to get there your self. The accomodation has cooking facilities, it is pretty cramped but that doesn't bother me, the resort is one I've never heard of in France @ 1800m with a 230km ski area which sounds ok and is probably high enough that it should have decent snow late in the season. I'ld be happy enough to drive there from London and reckon that can be done for about £300 for a car with 4 people.
If you or anyone else is up for doing that trip or something else on a similar budget then get in touch. I like a drink but living in London I figure I can get wonderfull drinking/ partying opportunities for the remaining 51 weeks of the year so am prepaired to cut back on nightlife in favor of ski area / snow quality. Although if there's a budget resort with good drinking and good ski area / snow I'ld pick that.
