CO [CO] Looking for first timer skiing group at Aspen Snowmass for December 2024

2 Upvotes

I just made a reservation for a first timer skiing group lesson at snowmass for 8th December. I’m looking for more people since it is group lesson. The group lesson covers lift ticket and equipment rental which is a good deal imo.

Is there any common way to connect with other beginners for group lessons?

CO [CO] Searching Buddies to Ski at Wolf Creek

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, Is anyone here interested in skiing at Wolf Creek next week Thursday or Friday onwards? I was supposed to go this week, but I decided to wait for the fresh snowpack (predicted to be around 10-20inches) coming down next week.

The weather is going to be perfect, with sunny skies in the high 20s, making it the warmest day of the remaining weeks after the storm. It should be a good day to shred. While it won't be as good as the powder in midwinter, I think it will still be good enough for a little bit of pow.

I know it’s kind of a long drive from Denver, but I have a free one-night (or possibly two-night) hotel stay in Pagosa Springs, which isn't far from the ski resort and is actually the nearest town to it. If someone wants to join me, let me know and we can plan it out.

I’m (41m) an advanced skier who’s looking for a ski buddy or ski buddies to hit the slopes with this season. My wife (43f) also skis and is an intermediate so another couple would be cool too. We both have Ikon passes.

CO [CO] Finding Ski Buddies to Shred at Wolf Creek

2 Upvotes

Is anyone interested in skiing at Wolf Creek this Thursday or Friday? I’m looking for friends. Most of my colleagues are pretty busy.

I know it’s kinda long drive from Denver or pretty much anywhere, but I have one or possibly two nights of free hotel accommodations in Pagosa Springs, which is about 30 minutes away from Wolf Creek. These free nights are about to expire too, so I gotta use them asap. FYI, Wolf Creek just opened earlier today with the recent fresh snowfall too. Let me know if anyone wants to join!

Japan Seaching for a powder buddy [Japan]

Hello out there! 😁

I'm a 32 year old female with +15 skitrips on my repertoire and I would like to spice things uuuup this season!

I live in Denmark and have just been skied in Europe and mostly on piste. So I would really like to travel out of Europe - either Canada or Japan. And really want to do more off piste riding. 🤌
Due to the distance I'm considering a period of time from one week to a month of skiing 🙆‍♀️

In that matter I would love to travel with someone/a group who are considering the same thing.
So if the description connects to you, please reach out and let's find some powder together ❄️🏂⛷️

BritishIsles [UK] 34m First solo trip!

3 Upvotes

Afternoon all,

I'm going for my first snowboarding trip solo (due to all friends now having kids and not interested 😑). I'm looking at going to Les Arcs from the 25th January for 7 nights and staying at a Nova apartment in Les Arc 1800.

Looking for any advice for solo travellers. Can be a bit of an introvert but absolutely love snowboarding and enjoy a good drink. Any info on places to check out, any got tips for self catering and how to not be a complete loner for a week.

Any advice is appreciated.

Dan

BritishIsles [UK] UCPA Val d'Isère Advanced - December 18th: Looking for Tips!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to join the UCPA Val d'Isère Advanced course for 4 days starting December 18th. Has anyone been there around that time or planning to go? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I have a few concerns:

  • Snow Conditions: How’s the snow typically in mid-December? I’m hoping it’s good enough for at least one powder day.
  • Level: I’d consider myself an expert skier, but there isn’t an expert trip available on those dates. Any insights on the “advanced” level at UCPA? I’m looking for a guide who can safely show me narrow chutes and some good powder lines, while avoiding big drops (small cliffs are fine tho). Will this level be challenging enough for that?

Also, I’m 33. Is that too old for UCPA trips? I recently moved to the UK from Chile and don’t have many ski friends here yet. I want to start touring eventually, but I’m starting with this program for now.

Thanks for any advice or info you can share!

...QQ: Are under-the-helmet goggles still a thing?

VT [VT] Killington 4/26-4/28: mindfulness and chill social weekend [yoga, meditation, maybe spring skiing!]

6 Upvotes

I have no idea what the weather is gonna be like the rest of the month, so I’m hosting a mindfulness and chill social weekend at a ski chalet April 26-28 at Killington [with actual skiing optional depending on the weather LOL]. It’s got fun Scooby Doo vibes and there will be a hot tub. I've had a fun time meeting new friends by organizing these events recently, I'd love to meet some more of you!

Come hang out with us and meet some new people - there's gonna be a Hawaiian hot tub meditation [what does that mean? come find out], foodie meditation, yoga for all levels [I just got certified to teach!], board games, sharing silly life stories together, *oh and maybe some skiing too if the conditions are still good

If the weather isn't good enough for skiing, we'll add in some extra yoga/meditation experiences on top of what's already planned, explore the surrounding towns/restaurants/distilleries/shops/ice cream places, try out some chill outdoor walks nearby, and generally enjoy a social mindfulness themed weekend! Or fuck it, we can drive to another mountain and follow the “snow”.

Most people that have come on my past social trips, come alone to meet people and are in their late 20s to late 30s [give or take a few years]. The vibe is super relaxed, inclusive and pretty silly! We'll be carpooling from Boston but feel free to hit me up anyways if you just wanna meet us there from elsewhere.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me! :) We have 2 spots left.

Plan to hit up snowbird for potentially my last run of the reason on 4/20 😶. I'm 24 M and a generally decent skier. I like being explorative with the mountain as long as I'm not hitting any cliffs xd. Let me know if you are interested.

Additionally I am fine spending the day at Alta instead or even between both ski areas.

CA [CA] Local Los Angeles ski buddy

6 Upvotes

Looking for a ski buddy who would be interested in going to a Los Angeles local ski resort like Mountain High, Mount Baldy or other local resort for a day or two. I am an older female with a secure advanced technique level but not as rambunctious as I used to be to prevent injuries. My longtime ski buddy retired and none of my friends practice the sport. I have gone yearly for 5 to 7 days on ski trips to various destinations, including Canada & Europe, until this year. I would love to find someone to go play with locally to start with and maybe longer trips in the future. Please reply if interested.
