Next season

To add to that, I am considering doing half of boarding hols alone this season. Get a cheap single room with balcony, central, in a non catered place (just seen one in Mayrhofen for 30 EUR a night in Feb). Take a stack of books and do what the hell I want. Really starting to realise that we (all) get so little time truely to ourselves anymore. If I wanna meet people and socialize I will do it in a bar or at dinner somewhere.

I know exactly where you are coming from.

BTW Just booked 8 nights in the Waldcafe (fairly central as you will doubtless already know and with a good restaurant attached) for £20 a night B and B with en-suite.

Could well be going back in March

I agree about getting time to yourself, I probably sound a bit unsociable but I work in Bournemouths biggest pharmacy for the biggest company in Europe. I have some-one hassling me all day every day, the phone rings every minute and I have to be so professional and full of sympathy and always smiling. I have 70 drug addicts every day to give their daily dose to, the shop is always full of screaming kids, shoplifters, addicts and obnoxious OAP,s. The company is on at you permantley to meet targets, dont overspend do this, do that. On top of that I have to do 3 hours extra study per week, document it and send it to the Pharmaceutical society for marking or I will be struck off the register. So some-times I hate people I just want to get away from them and the phone and do exactly what I want, when I want. Hence why we do the sort of holidays we do.

Not one of our friends or family would ever consider having that sort of holiday they are all summer holidays, hot sun and beaches, so have always been wary of sharing chalets with strangers. Enlighten me some-one.

I've done both and hugely enjoyed both. The best bit of advice I could give you, if you're on your own, is to book into a larger chalet - 20 to 30 ish. Small enough to know everyone, big enough to avoid those you don't get on that well with!

I'm just not a sociable sort of person. I'm quite happy to go away by myself, and if I want to talk to folks I will.

Rite well im off to La Tania in feb half term! Really looking forward to it tonnes of skiing to be done and want to do at more off piste now i've learnt it proper!

Also looking at doing a Les Arcs trip in april with a few people from 6th form! Get the train over etc, cheap self catered apartment! Should be good!

I went twice alone last year and skied with people from the chalet and people I spoke to on the pistes
Nothing but friendliness everywhere. It's just there for the asking
Good for you!
