J2 Skiers Go to Zermatt - Winter 2010/11

I would like to go on a ski holiday with everyone, but I can't do 2nd week in January 2011 because my younger daughter will probably be doing her January A2 exams then, and I can't just ditch her and leave her to cope with exams on her own.

However, I will be free for 2012 holidays because she will by then (hopefully) be at Uni and organizing her own ski holidays. But I will be 50 by then, and too old for the 'rules'. However I will also be on my own, because my husband doesn't ski, so I will need to share with another female.

It will be interesting to see if this 2010/2011 holiday actually takes place, and how it goes. Best of luck with it,

Ally

I was reading about Zermatt last night in the WTSS book (from about 2003 I might add), apparently a 'must-ski' before you die. Only thing putting me off at the moment, and please correct me if this has changed, is the hike/bus to the lifts. I would rather walk 15 mins to a lift than wait an hour for a bus, apparently its about 20 mins max from anywhere in the village to the main lifts?

Its been my reason to avoid Zermatt for the past 3 seasons. However, reports suggest such good skiing and views that i think the time has come. Especially if it can be done on a budget. Grin and bear it sort of thing.

Tony, having re-read the criteria you posted, I'm out on 2 counts :P

I hope you will be able to ski fast enough :twisted:

You're a boarder and you're 21......?

If the second week in Jan in set in stone I think I'm going to have to bow out :cry:
It's looking extremely likely that our group holiday will be new year week 2011.

Getting to a pretty good number.

Hi Stewart

I mentioned this trip to my OH last night and he would love to join. He has not skiied Zermatt in 20 years and wants to go back :D Can you add 5 more people to the 17 and let me know the up to date status of the trip? that's 2 adults, 3 kids (any rules on kids :?:)

thx

Hi Carol,

Can you PM me with your details?

I see from your location you are Abu Dhabi.
I would need to know you travel plans to Zermatt i.e. would you go from Abu Dhabi or will you be back in the UK?

We are organising a package holiday from the UK although several people are booking seperately for the same time.

Can you PM me with the following details: -

Names and Room Requirements (Double, Triples etc)
Preferred Airport Departure (if UK)
E-mail Address

The more the better in my opinion as we will get a better deal.

Regarding the details, I have contacted several travel companies and they will not have any price information until Dec / Jan.
So we will have to wait until then.

Me and OH, are able to go if you are not too strict about under 28, we are both 22, and we will be both 23 when we head off to the trip. So if you have two more places, Can we come :D
