This year I am taking my ski hols in Feb half term. On the list of possibilities are Serre Che, La Thuile or the Dolomites but I have a small prob. Mrs Bald-eagleman does not ski so will go walking, swimming etc leaving me to ski alone. Now being of more elderly status I am a little sceptical of skiing alone so if there is anyone in a similar situation let me know and perhaps we can arrange to ski together. (Ability..High Intermediate but will try anything but happy on reds, blacks and a bit off piste) -) _Do like the odd beer though!

I like this thread and it makes me want to start running/swimming etc again...but there is one golden rule....there are no calories in anything you eat at Xmas or on your birthday!! :P

My OH is in the same boat...does'nt like skiing but likes walking the trails , bit of pampering , swimming in pool etc. Last year we went to Sauze which she really enjoyed, Before that we have been to Le Corbier which again was OK for her as she really enjoyed the outdoor pool that looks up the mountain...and the snowflakes falling as she was swimming. Le Corbier is good because a well know TO does cheap hols there...does'nt take a rocket scientist to work out who. -)

Serre Che is not small..250kms across 4 linked resorts 70% in the trees ...You would be pushed to ski it out in a week of hard skiing. There is also lots of good off piste as well.

I've only got the odd 8 weeks off. Spent yesterday playing golf, watching cricket and drinking beer. Today was tough...cut the hedge 'till 2 then had a rest with wifey and her friend drinking Prosecco with brandy and liquers. Tomorrow, more hedge, golf, badminton and prob a bottle of plonk in the sun preparing for my tough drive to Cote D'Or for a month in the surf...fishing, swimming, sunbathing and seeing if the frogs still do good wine....Ah someone has to do it!! -)
