Hi there, I'm a 37 yr old intermediate skiier looking for a ski buddy between January and March. France or Austria. I'd like to meet the person first before booking a trip together, hence why I mentioned Leeds. I don't mind if you're a girl or guy. I've heard about joining ski groups online but too nervous I might get it wrong and someone runs off with my money! Would like to meet someone in person then book with crystal or Inghams. Hope I find someone! :-) Nina

Hi Nina
I have skied a fair bit on my own in the past. However I prefer to ski with friends or others.
I have booked into small chalets with about 12 people and always teamed up with others.
I am an intermediate skier . I like to ski for most of the day stopping for the odd coffee and a short break at lunch. I have skied France quite a bit but would return but would like to return to Austria. I'm male in my sixties and live south of you but travel to Manchester quite often. I'm not great with night life often retiring early after a good days skiing and a pleasant meal. Happy to discuss further by email . All the best Andy

Ah, thanks for the response Andy! However, since writing the post, I realised chalets only have one single room in them, and if I'm going to share a room, it should be with a girl. Sorry about that, I should have thought about that bit first. Also, I love the après ski and the night life, so another girl who enjoys that too probably would be more suitable. Thanks anyway, it's much appreciated!

Hi Nina

I'm 39, live in Leeds, and would love to find someone who likes to ski all day and also party at night. (My skiing friends are all one or the other!) I mainly ski reds and blues but I'll do the blacks just to say I've done them :-)

I was just about to research groups to join when I saw your post - let me know if you think it would be worth us having a chat.

Cheers
Esther

Hi Nina, Esther & Andy

I have a post about a group skiing trip to the Dolomites, Sud Tirol, 6th January and there are still places left. It's a large group friendly group, so there is always someone of similar ability to ski with.

We are going to Campitello de Fassa, closely linked to the Sella Ronda circuit.

It is totally genuine and has been run by Roger, who is retired but was a ski instructor in the army. There is a rarely used 'Rogski' site on Facebook. Roger always books through a tour operator so your money is safe should there be any problems or flight cancelations ... It is not business, he does it annually for the love of it.

Hi Cazzz - that would have been amazing and thanks for flagging but I'll struggle to get time off work in January so really looking Feb/March. Thanks again though.

Hi Nina
We also have a trip to Cortina in the Dolomites 3 - 10 Feb, which is on the find a ski buddy link. I work for the Fire Service & always book through an agent (The Midcounties Co-op Travel, Nottingham), so this can be confirmed by them if you wish to contact direct. You would be very welcome to join us if you wish. We have 2 other single women that are with us this time, 1 of which joined us last year. It really is a great trip. :)

Cheers
