Hi all,

I was just revisiting a few old threads with wishlists on. There were a couple of mentions of ski holidays.

So who would be interested - whether experienced or beginner?

have a great weekend

Sorry Will. Tried skiing when I was in my teens. Not for me!

Not for me tried it once and spent more time on my backside than on the skies.

Thats my personal thoughts but still think its a great idea because lots of people do go for ski holidays.

Hi Will,

Me - would be very interested. Intermediate (OK maybe advanced beginner).

One of your competitors does skiing holidays - but to duff resorts in (mostly) Italy, also splits their holidays often between age groups - they just don't look very good so have never booked. Would prefer ski trips to US (maybe combined with a few days in eg Boston, New York, Las Vegas - depending on where the ski trip was to.) But have skied in Italy and Austria (eg Courmayeur, Ischgl and the Carinthia area - no problems there) so if resort was good would be happy to book it.

This is obviously a niche interest, but I don't know of any solo holiday operator that does a skiing holiday I would be interested in booking.

Hi Will,

Thanks as always for listening so carefully to what we say on the forum; however in this case it's a definite "no" from me - I went skiing once and have no desire to ever go again! However, I am sure that quite a lot of people would be interested - Katy who was on my Jordan tour for one!

Best wishes,

Bob

A definite NO for me, I fall over enough with out snow being in the mix. For those that like that sort of thing then I think it's a good idea.

Sorry Will, I don't fancy a skiing holiday either.... I've always fancied a winter holiday - so if you could offer alternatives to the actual skiing I might be tempted to co me along.. if only for the hot chocolate!! 🙂

Not for me Will although I LOVE mountains, but if there are very little singles holidays that do skiing I bet it would be really popular.

Definitely not for me - too old to even try. I tried ice skating once and that was enough. Could not even walk on the ice!

Sorry - but I'm a no as well, however there are so many people out there who do ski I would have thought it's atleast worth trying one trip to see how it goes.

Hi Will, wouldn't want to try skiing again, tried years ago and I'm just not brave enough (or flexible enough) 🙂. HOWEVER, the idea of a snowy holiday in the mountains would appeal! Although I didn't take to skiing, the amazing chair lifts to the top of the world, the horse drawn sleigh rides with cosy fur rugs and complementary schnapps, sitting in a mountain-top cafe in the warm sun admiring the scenery as the skiers fly by, outdoor hotpools, a glass of gluhwein before walking half way up a mountain for a musical evening in a mountain shack as well as warm friendly party nights do appeal!! Perhaps it would be possible to offer a holiday where people could experience a snowy holiday and pay extra if they wanted to ski!

NOW I like the sound of that!!! Now that would appeal.....just as long as I don't have to walk around looking like blimp in winter Gear !!!!!

I hate the snow, so no way would I go skiing, but good for those who do like the slopes and another holiday

destination can only be good for JY.

I am with Sookie :P

My eldest daughter broke 2 ribs skiing, then spent the rest of the week in various restaurants drinking hot chocolate and the most amazing tan whilst waiting for the rest of her group learning to ski :thumbup:

What Sookie says sounds fantastic. Would not mind having a 'snowy' holiday without skiing.

Cindy - at least you can ice skate - I could not even do that! Perhaps if I had tried when I was younger or a child, then I would have succeeded as you do not have as much fear when you are younger.
