Prospective ski gang?

Snowhappy

Hey everyone,

I appreciate these threads come up from time to time and most people are redirected to snowheads, skiclubs etc. but thought I would see if there was any interest among the forum for what I am about to suggest.

I'm a girl in her 30's, minus my ski gang this year as people had other travel plans. I wasn't too fussed at the time, but now am missing the snow, have some leave and am interested in hitting the slopes. I'm an intermediate skier, love the days on the slopes and the aprés most nights. Wanted to see if there are any other easygoing, friendly folk in their 30s who might be interested in picking a week in a resort in Feb/March? I am easygoing re dates/whether accommodation would be shared/whether people want to ski together/get tuition etc - just like the idea of knowing a few faces on the plane out and we would hopefully have a bit of craic together over the holidays. If people are interested, send me a p/m. If there are a few interested, I'd happily arrange a Dublin based coffee/pint to discuss details. Equally, if people are looking to fill a chalet space, let me know! Happy skiing everyone..

Hey Snowhappy,

If you can you should come along to Against the Grain on Wexford street this Friday at 7. A group is meeting up to chat about potential dates for ski trips and have a laugh.

The URL for the group is www.meetup.com/Skiers-and-Boarders-United/

Hope to see you there!

Tis indeed. You can change the currency in the top right-hand corner, it's cheaper in Euro.

I'm half thinking of heading away next weekend. I'm a teacher so my dates aren't flexible, has to be leaving next weekend 14th/15th Feb I'm afraid. I know this won't suit a lot but just thought I'd ask.

Destination not important to me, as long as there's snow, which there seems to be everywhere.

I'd class myself as in intermediate snowboarder but it's been about 7 years since I've been.

I enjoy a good knees up and a bit of craic too, as important as the slopes!

The Les Deux Alpes trip excluding flights is €680, the cost of Ryanair flights is the only piece of the package that is likely to change! Currently €215 with a 15kg checked bag.

If I was to choose any place else it would probably Tignes or Val D'Isere, bigger ski area than LDA, more reds and blacks. No pressure dude!

God this is tough ha! Tignes has the ski bungee, and VDI does sound amazing from reading up. Ski pass does both areas anyways? But then again this is only my 2nd trip, I still got lots to learn on blues and reds and LDA sounds perfect for that.

Flights back to 100quid! I booked too early lol!

Ah sick! You can never win!
