Good to see some other skiers on here! I did plan to buy my own skis about a year ago................but why do that when i can rent the new top of range? Plus I only go once a year provided i have enough money.
I may have to do a late deal really as the places advertising for single people are too expensive. Found a good deal with Neilson 10-17 Jan 2009 =£246 but i need to find a second person.
Skiing alone is never a good idea, even the best fall, and even the most innocuous fall can lead to some nasty injuries. I've found 2 or 3 stranded skiers alone on the slopes over the years.. and I always make sure I've bought insurance as a result!
Hexus ski trip anyone?

I am becoming a Snowboarder after being a Skiier for about 12 years so I usually rent Skis for the last couple of days so I can attack the Lauberhorn with my Uncle.

hahah same here!!
I won't be skiing on my own all week for at least a few days i'll be with some friends who are working out there.
And a Hexus ski trip sounds good lol Could rent a chalet
Skiing alone on piste isn't a problem provided you don't go out in silly conditions or 10 minutes before the lifts close. Skiing 1000m+ of vert without stopping for anyone is a blast
Careful... I'll get ideas!hahah same here!!

Ideas are good if there along the lines of having a Hexus ski getaway lol
I'll pass on it; it would be embarrassing for you lot.
^ that's not really in the spirit of things is it?
Oh and we like a challenge. Snowball fight... Social Vs PowderHound.
I can see who might win.
You can count me in for that one!
Along the lines of this.You can count me in for that one!
Spent the last hour trying to bribe a friend to go skiing, but he prefers lying on a sun bed on a beach..........ah well !!
Since I'm having no luck finding flights and accommodation for around £240-£265, can anyone one suggest any good sites where they won't rip me off for travelling alone?
Would like to go back to Val Thorens but will look at other options. I have looked at sites which say they cater for those on their own, but the prices are stupid.
Anyone ever been to Poland? I know some people out there and have been told it's pretty good and also relatively cheap so am considering going.
I have heard mixed reviews about skiing in Poland. At the moment I would not consider it as I want to go back to Val Thorens.............. have had two excellent holidays there. Not sure how much cheaper Poland is but £246 for a week in France is a good deal. Plus Val Thorens is an established resort with so many good runs.
Does anyone do a lot of off-piste skiing? Over the last two years I have ventured off-piste, and love it!!!!! But i'm now thinking of getting a ski helmet just in case I go smack into a tree lol
Anyone got any advice/tips?
