My school are hoping to run a ski trip in 2010 for sixth form students at either half term or the first week of the Easter holidays for 40 ish students plus staff. It would be a mixed group, boys and girls, mixed ability, ski and boarding. We would need at least 4 hours "lessons" a day, full or half board all inclusive (flights, transfers, ski boots/skiis/boards etc and lift passes....you know the deal). Venue not important as long as there is snow and the price is right!

Anyone out their who can advise, wish to give us a price, point us to suitable operators etc etc.

Thanks in advance. (Admin....hope I have posted this in the right place!!)

Hi Mary

I've PM'd you with a note re skiing and snow at Zakopane. Why not sign up for the snow reports or try Metcheck which I find if really good

Newby to the forum but agree that Zakopane is really good. Its in a bowl and surrounded by slopes on all sides. The runs are limited though unless you go to Bialka and Kaprowky Weich. Went with Sunshine World last year who take you to different areas each day......going again this Feb half term. Yippee :lol:

Before anyone laughs try Zakopane in Poland. Easy to get to via Krakow, nice snow, cheap accommodation, cheap food and booze. There are a couple of agents that do a package...try Sunshine World they are very good with English instructors (Alan Garcia is the guy to speak to)

Have car, have kit, have a pink chit from Mrs G, just need the will to move really. Anyone else out there fancy 4 or 5 days somewhere


Dave :lol:

Re solo skiing and Queen of Sheba.

I'm back into skiing after 34 years!! but my other half does'nt like it. What would be good would be a list of like minded people willing to share.

I would have liked to push off for a few days now to Andorra or anywhere but the single cost for accom for 4 days is £400 (half board). Add ferry and diesel and you're talking the best part of £600. Now is there was 2 3 or 4 sharing the cost plummets and you get to meet new people all with pretty similar interests.

Maybe a specialist subject on solo skiers would be good
