Poster: A snowHead
|
So I've always gone on solo trips with Mark Warner, and it's been brilliant thanks to the ski hosting. Obviously they've stopped doing it now, so I'm just looking into other possibilities.
Ideally I want to go to Val d'Isere or Tignes but would consider anywhere.
I've been Googling solo ski trips, but a lot seem to be about 'single' rather than solo, and I'm not looking for romance!!
I'm female, and an OK skier. Happy on reds and 'normal' blacks (I love Face, for example). Don't mind steeps and moguls, but prefer it when they aren't combined.
I also like a few beers
Any ideas welcomed.

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

Piccadilly, there's a few of us in Serre Chevalier that week. Staying in either Chalet Charlotte with Ski Miquel or Hotel Plein Sud with Inghams. We're staying in our own apartment.

Hells Bells, thank you for the offer, much appreciated! I know lots of people love Serre Che, but I just wasn't a huge fan of the place. As I've said before, it's probably changed hugely since I was last there about 14 years ago, but that's the memory I have..
Iski, I would absolutely LOVE to do that, but after adding up the cost it comes to well over £1k for the week, which is rather more than I was hoping to spend . Sounds fantastic though, thanks for the suggestion/offer! I won't rule it out..

Piccadilly, UCPA? Might be worth a look see. And some centres have double rooms which mean you don't have to share if you don't want to.

Rishie, hmmm .. that's kind of the other end of the spectrum. Basically I'm looking to pay about £800-£850 all in (HB hotel, flights, ski carriage, transfers, lift pass). I'm going to start sounding like right fussy cow!

Piccadilly, I hope you find something you like. It's not cheap, but not too bad for me as I got my flights through using Avios. I also wanted to do it last year but couldn't because I was still teaching then.

Hi Piccadilly,
I'm looking for exact same thing - hoping to go to some high resort in the 1st or 2nd week of March, or beginning of April and spend under £1k in total (considering UCPA, but also a bit reluctant to stay in a dorm).
FYI, here's another option similar to the Dolomites trip with Inside Out above: http://www.adventurebash.com/group-ski-holidays/March-Ski-BASH. It's still above £1k in total, and I'm not sure you can do those dates...
If you find any other trips/groups where one more person is needed, I'd be grateful for the info!

Also UCPA in Chamonix has some twin rooms available for a small supplement, and they still have places available for w/c 16th March. |
According to the Action Outdoors office there're no twin rooms left in UCPA Cham that weekend sadly

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

snow_girl, I think I may end up doing a Mark Warner, but I'll happily let you know the details if you want to go to the same place and meet up! Val d'Isere or Tignes are my first choices. They are doing an Espace Killy lift pass deal for 17th March (buy one, get one half price) which is really worth having! Obvs both people would then get a discount.
Price is likely to be about £800 all in, including the discounted lift pass.
ps the Adventure Bash thing on the 16th is full...

I doubt you'd find it the same. Very different resort than in 1999.

You know it makes sense.

Thanks for all the help everyone, I've gone for the Moris in Val. Costing me a bit more than I wanted to spend but what the hell, it'll be a massive laugh.
