  #1  Looking for someone to share in march on a skiweekends jaunt  Posted 20/02/2010 @ 18:47
Hey guys and dolls,
I'm a newbie, but well in love with boarding last season and am looking to try hook myself up with a last minute jaunt to the slopes in march, as my 19th birthday is on the 22nd, I'm looking at going with skiweekends, but to avoid single room supplements and being a billy no mates I'm looking to find someone to book/share with.
Similarly, if anyone has a cheapy spare place/bed for sometime after march 19th, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Not too fussed on who wishes to tag along if your someone that comes with a plus one or two or a few, that's cool too, the more the merrier!
(And no I did not purposely make that rhyme)
I'm female (at least I was when I last checked), easygoing, I prefer beer to wine and laugh at fart jokes. I don't have an issue with being up for the first lift and coming home on the last, but still enjoy apres-ski and although I can tell you I'm no expert just yet, I'm happy to do my best to keep up (best way to learn) with people of a higher skill level, or to hang with people at my level, although if you're majorly good and don't want to be slowed down by an annoying beginner, my company isn't for you haha.

Heres the link:

I'm looking either a weekend or a week on or around the 20th, 27th or the 3rd of april.

Hey,
I'm almost a newbie myself with only 2weeks of boarding behind me! This ski weekends thing sounds interesting, had a look through the site but I would have difficulty getting to Victoria street station for that pick up cos I live up in the North. But I'll keep lookin through it and see what else it says!
If not I'm tihnkin of headin up to Scotland, maybe to Glenshee, supposed to be alright and sounds pretty cheap. So if you can't find someone or sound interested drop me a message

Pssshh...I'm in Chamonix this Saturday for a week, pity you're both a week or two later.
Anyone else?
You're never too old to give it a try.

Really? I'd only thought of Glenshee because it has the most runs, but if you don't think it's that good then Cairngorn it might be! Will have to see what the snow is like around Easter time! Thanks though!

Patch I actually ended up booking Chamonix with the two randoms from SCUK forum going on the 20th. So if you or anyone else want to meet up that'd be cool.

Ended up with neilson, flying over. staying at hotel richmeond; breakfast included, flights from Gatwick, snowboard carriage, transfers and lift pass: £590. More expensive than coach by the looks, but theirs still rooms availible if you change your mind and anyone else for that matter.

Hey,

Glad you got yourself hooked up. If you fancy a week of snow and music, well worth giving Snowbombing a try in Mayrhofen over Easter. They have quite a few people looking for travelling buddies on the forums. It's a great 5 days, well worth giving it a go.

Take it easy
