We have booked a 10-sleeper chalet a 5 minute walk from the main ski lift in Arraba. The price is £675 per person and includes flights from London Gatwick, transfers, half board (breakfast + afternoon tea + dinner) and ski hire. The chalet is quite superb and you can check it out at:

We are a group of six young professionals from South Africa and Australia living in London and hoping to find another FOUR people to join our group. Our skill levels are mixed - some ski, some snowboard - so there will most likely be someone in the group for you to ski with if you're flying solo. We are an easy-going group and welcome anyone to join our group for a week of great skiing and aprés-ski.

Dates once again: 23rd Feb to 2nd March.

This is going to come around quick and we need to lock down passenger names for the flight etc, so if you are interested, please get in touch ASAP.

Cheers
Ankur

Hi Ankur,
That's a very good price, but presumably it only applies if 10 people go on the holiday,so the chalet is full. Otherwise the holiday will be a lot more expensive, per person, for the 6 of you.

I've just come back from a group holiday that I organized, and I was very careful not to get myself in your situation.

What happened to the other 4 people? Did they drop out or what?

Best of luck with finding some more people to go with you - it looks like a great holiday :)

Hi Ally,

We actually paid for the whole thing thinking it wouldn't be too much of an issue to fill the empty spots. 2 people did drop out because of work commitments and such, so this is a last minute scramble to get some other fun people on board.

The location, ski reports and everything else about this holiday sounds fantastic - so we are hoping that we can fill this quite quickly and everyone can concentrate on having a good time.

Cheers

I think you'll probably have to offer it at a discounted price, if you want to fill all 4 places.
I have 2 U.K. holiday cottages that I let, and this is what we do if we don't have a booking when the holiday is only 2 weeks away. On one of them I had to reduce Christmas and New Year by 50% this year to get a booking :shock:

A lot of people seem to be short of money at the moment :cry:

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in coming myself - I'm just trying to be helpful :)

Skirrific,
Check out the Neilson Community Forum for solo ski and boarders.
Someone just replied to my post for the same week. He specifically expressed an interest in Dolomites. I'll defintiely not be going there as I need to get a package which flies from Scotland. But you might want to reply to him

Thanks Dkirkuk, I'll check out that forum and see if can find this person. On a positive note, there has been a bit more interest in other forums as well - so fingers crossed.

@ Rustyinn: I agree. Our package is flexible to allow flights from anywhere in England. So if Scotland is a problem and people dont want to trek to Gatwick, a Manchester flight is also a possibility.

Hi,
Thanks for the offer but I have booked with another group now. I'm off to Mayerhofen with the group from this site.
I hope you manage to find some people to fill the places.
