Ski Trips for the Older Skier
Watch this postI got to thinking about my old skiing holidays and how the crowd I used to go with seem not to be interested anymore when I stumbled onto a small group of chaps calling themselves the Over Sixties Ski Club. The main thing I ran into was that trying to kickstart my ski career, was the dreaded Single room supplement but what these guys do is latch on to last minute 'deals' then pair you up with a roomy so you book independently and then meet up with a few others at the chosen chalet. The downside was that they only seem to operate out of Gatwick airport and I'm in darkest Essex, but it really was great to get my ski legs back ... can't wait for next season!!

I have an option on a half board ski holiday package to Les Arcs for a week from 13th March and need to avoid the single room supplement (flights from Stansted, Gatwick and Manchester). Alternatively my next available departure date is 2nd April with option on a half board package to Avoriaz (from Gatwick). That Stansted departure might appeal to you!!
My usual ski buddy can't make it this year...

I was planning to go to the French Alps for a ski holiday next year. Do you have any recommendations for a ski resort? I found a list with many destinations - https://www.sport2000rent.com/skiverleih/standorte/frankreich/ but it is always hard to pick one without having enough information concerning conditions, prices, etc. I would be very thankful, if you could provide me with some tips.
All the best,
