Where to Ski And Snowboard -

Going skiing or boarding on your own - but would prefer to find new companions? And avoid the ‘ouch’ of single supplement costs? A new website, Ski Pals, offers a way forward.

Ski Pals is aimed at putting solo skiers and boarders in touch with one another, through an online noticeboard – a social network for winter sports’ fans. The idea is to help you spread the cost of a holiday and to find new friends who enjoy winter sports as much as you do. It can be anything from sharing a taxi transfer to finding someone of the same level to ski with. In reverse, you can also advertise available accommodation for a small fee.

Users sign up, then can view the latest posts and request further details from any that interest. Membership is free, and only members can view another user’s profile. So, if your non-skiing spouse or partner really does not want to be dragged off to the snow for a week or two, this may be an alternative to a winter holiday alone.
