Looking to go away between 16th-28th April. (19th-26th is Sat-Sat that most resorts will do tho).

Female 25 y/o with annoying skiing friends who can't organise themselves - so willing to hook up with random snowboarders instead.

Obviously if people are going those dates already and are short of people that's easier. However - few bits n bobs found already:

Loads of self catered chalets on Ebay - France, Austria etc. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140217071832&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:PIC&ih=004

Also there's Pas De La Casa for £288 for B&B for the week -
http://www.icelolly.com/view.php?sdate=1208390400&edate=1208736000&sdur=7&edur=7&htype=3&btype=0&dest=&lstype=1&from1=LPL&from2=MAN&from3=LBA&sdest=DCosta+Brava&sbtype=BB&flex=2&sap=GRO

Dragon Lodge (found on SCUK discount hol page) would only be £199 pp for week - cheper if we got more people 'on board', lol! Sorry bad joke - http://dragonlodge.com/Prices.html

TTFN, Moi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Been doing some more researching since - flights to Geneva from Lpool for those dates would be less than £50! (With snowboard baggage an extra £40 or so & in total with taxes about £90ish).

DELUXE accommodation inc. cooked breakfast & 3 course eve dinner at Cold Fusion Chalet (Chamonix) : 20th April - 27th April = £425/£450 http://www.coldfusionchalets.co.uk/prices/individualprices.asp

Lift pass = (Recommended Ski passes week long breaks): 6 days=£142 or 7 days=£161

Anyone in or fancy offering me a better alternative? Very tempted to book soon as don't know how long those flights will be available for! Razz

Hey Austin,

Is that 'cos of time off work or finances? If it's the finances then by time you've paid for flights, a few extra nights at the dragon lodge wouldn't set you back much.

Long weekend would be an option tho...still holding out for a week if that's cool/if I can persuade you? Wink

Hey M,

More of a time off work thing sadly, long weekends use up only 3 days hol and still get 4.5 days boarding, suits me perfectly. Mates just checking his
work today then think we will book it all this week, so if you don't get any luck with getting a week, at least you have a fall back option. (Have you
checked availability at Dragon Lodge btw? If not, I shall)

Anyone else up for joining us?? Cheap weekend in Tignes ... come on!!!

Agrh Dilemma Austin!

Think the dragon lodge was available for then but I've looked at so many places availability they all start to merge. so don't take my word for it!

I'm still very tempted by the long weekend thing but torn as really want a week (as it's prob my only chance unless I get to NZ this summer!)- if you get me some prices I'll have a think!

Cheers, Moi. Cool

Right, lets sort something then - ideally I'd like to book in the next week seeing as my hols start only 3 weeks away and don't wanna miss out. If I can't organise any SCUK peeps then will be forced to go to Cold Fusion chalet or something similiar as going away alone as a beginner is not a great prospect.

Let me know asap. Moi

p.s. Austin - have you booked anything yet?

Hey

I've booked a couple of flights to Geneva for 3rd May, for a week, sat to sat, including the may day bank holiday. Haven't decided on resort or anything yet, but i know Tignes will be fully open, as its still snowing now!

Just thought i'd mention it in case you wanna change dates!

Hey I'd be interested, but would have to check with da boss at work for time off. If more definite dates, let me know, though I reckon the later in April the better since I suspect if I ask for time off right now, my boss would say no (I'd have to reschedule some appointments).

If interested, let me know:)

Kirsty
