AllyG, I can't see what the problem is, a very quick search turned up these real twin beds (notice the split in the foot boards):

Chalet Igloo Selva http://www.skitotal.com/AccommodationDetails.aspx?accomId=5024



Hotel Genziana Arabba http://www.hotelgenziana.net/genzianaweb/index.php?id=44



It can take a while to get replies at this time of the year as we are between seasons and many hotels are shut.

About time you got a grip, otherwise people will start thinking that you couldn't organise una festa in una fabbrica di birra!

Thanks SwingBeep,
You may just have saved my sanity

I am still waiting for the reply to my e-mail about beds. It is very difficult to tell which sort of beds they've got in each hotel, unless they specifically say, as they seem to call them all 'twins', and for all I know the beds in your photo are the only real 'twins' in that hotel

I was reading one Trip Advisor review where someone was very cross with their hotel because they were supposed to be twin beds (they'd gone to the trouble of checking with them beforehand) and they weren't.

Apart from this bed problem everything is going okay, luckily

And we still have several months before we need to actually book anywhere.

I suppose I am worrying in case we get to a hotel/chalet in Selva and then discover that the beds are doubles, and everyone half kills me

The bed type in Allys pic are 2 single mattresses on a double base so no way can be seperated as in SwingBeeps pic, in my time I have seen many of both types in ski accom.The only way to be sure is to contact the owner & ask if the beds can be separated.

This is a quick summary of the situation at the moment:

Ian W - wants January or maybe March
Nelly - can't do January but OK for Feb and March
Me - I'm not too sure whether I can manage March or not
Snapzzz - prefers last week in Jan or early Feb but could probably manage Jan, Feb or March (as long as we hurry up and organize it before he books his family holidays)
Icy - wants March
Tony H - Thinks it's too early to consider 2014
Old Andy - said he'd love to come if he could manage it
Bandit - possibly might be considering it - I don't really know
Dids - would like to come 'one day'
Old Boarder - wants Feb or March
Felthorpe - doesn't seem to mind which month
Daved - wants last 2 weeks of Jan or 1st week of Feb
Far Queue - wants January or March
Bedrock Barney + 1 - wants late Feb or early March
Tonypants - not March
Joe Colin - wants January or February
Brooksy - doesn't want school holidays and prefers the cheaper holiday dates if possible
Randyrat - has a group of 4 people, and prefers the last week in January and somewhere not too expensive.
Catp - is interested in coming and hasn't got any preferences for the date
Billip 1 - is fairly flexible on dates

Have I left anyone out, or accidentally included anyone I shouldn't have?

If anyone else is interested in coming with us in 2014 would they please let me know - either by posting on here or by sending me a pm

Here are the places we are considering for 2014:

Zermatt
Sella Ronda (Gardena etc. in the Dolomites)
Les Portes du Soleil (Morzine)
St Anton
Alpe d'Huez
Milky Way (Sauze d'Ouix)
Paradiski (La Plagne and Les Arcs etc.)
La Clusaz
Les Deux Alpes
Grand Massif (Samoens)
Andyhull - chalet The Lodge in Val d'Isere with Skiworld (around £700-£750 all inclusive except ski hire, January prices)
3 Valleys
Cervinia

I have tidied up the list of ski areas/resorts. We are checking to make sure we can find a reasonably priced chalet/hotel for each of them. And if we can't, (or there is some other reason we feel they are not suitable) I am deleting them from the list.


If Billip can find us some suitable accommodation I will add Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis (in Austria) to the list of potential resorts/ski areas for the 2014 J2Ski group holiday

I have been looking in the Selva Val Gardena area and I must have checked the details for about 15 chalets and hotels and they ALL have Austrian twin beds (which are basically double beds with separate mattresses).





No. They all have double beds. Stay away from the Dolomites.

A couple of people have recently asked about the 2014 J2Ski group ski/snowboard holiday, so I thought I'd post this back up.

Does anyone else want to go on the list of those potentially interested in coming with us?

I need to get back to work on reducing the size of the resort list to a manageable shortlist of resorts and then pick a date.

Crikey. I'd better do the Dolomites this year if this is being planned for 2014 and too many people get to know about the accommodation I've sized up already
