Girls ski weekend

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:22:57 GMT

I am married with 2 kids and we ski every year, but its just not enough for me. I have been trying to set up a girls' ski weekend for ages and my friends are just not interested. I am an intermediate skiier looking to just have full days on the slopes, nice lunches, few glasses of wine in the evening but then up early for the slopes every day. Looking at mid-Jan in France - something about GBP500ish Thurs-Sundayish. Anyone interested? Or am i the only ski-freak woman in the UK??

Sounds lovely! Unfortunately I can only manage one ski holiday a year, I'd love to do more but don't have the holiday time or the money to :(

I'd love to go with you, but unfortunately I am rather short of money at the moment and I can't afford another ski holiday - maybe another year?

I hope you find someone - it sounds like a great idea to me :D I also have lots of friends who aren't interested in ski-ing and I'd hate to ski on my own.

Take a look at Karibuni (Skiweekender)- they ski La Clusaz and Le Gand Bornand. We went a couple of years ago, you book your flight to Geneva and their prices include chalet board, pick ups from airport and ski guiding. They didn't charge extra for singles either. Whole set up really friendly and professional - we had a great time.

I'll be in Morzine, message me if that's where you end up.

Blimey, I'm surprised you can turn those Legends with such skinny legs Wickers :shock:

PenRS, is a whole week away too long? You might do well getting a room or a share in a chalet. That way you get plenty of folks to ski with.

Hello there. Is a whole week (Sun.-Sun.) too long? Do you consider Italy or Austria? I was looking at Colletts web.: they offer accommodation + transfer from Venice, place is part of Sella Ronda, Corvala? You arrange your own flight. I am in the same situation, love skiing, girlfriends are just not interested...

Strewth! He shaves his legs! Who knew???

Damn, I'd better reprimand myself for wibbling... back to the question.

PenRs - if you like the look of La Clusaz (short transfer from GVA, nice village and good skiing) I can recommend a family-run chalet who would make you very welcome I'm sure.

Can thoroughly recomend Collett's - have doen both group and solo trips with them and alwasy been looked after superbly and always found a great group to ski with.

I'd tend to go for the Haus Valentin accommodation if going solo or just a few of you, although it's that bit further off the main circuit it's got nicer social areas and catering for about 30 theres less chance of you ending up just filling in the one room a big party didn't take. Always very social and the hosts/guides get everyone mixing well.

Going again with them in December - that's 4 years in a row.... nuff said.

Or Skibreaks ?

Have also used these guys when I'm going solo or with a mate with very different ability to me and usually nicely mixed group (sex/age/ability). Will be doing start of seasojn with them in Kaprun this November.

There's a website called SkiPals where people like you are looking for others to share their ski holidays. Go to http://www.skipals.com/ where you can respond to ads or post your own.

Good luck!
