 Poster: A snowHead

Howdy,
I’m in VT this weekend at UCPA doing a long weekend solo snowboarding. If any snowheaders in town fancy meeting up etc let me know.
Cheers
Drew

Nobody around? ☹️
Mostly French in UCPA this week apparently, so going to have to brush up on my language skills a little!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@pam w, I’m blaming dodgy internet / tiredness / too many beers on flight / transfer with a rowdy South African family for my dual post!!!!
But yes, my French is good at asking for things, plus more than capable of saying in French that I don’t speak much French - but when they open up in full flow.....I have that look of “WTF” on my face!

This is the only problem with the UCPA, you can end up with weeks where there are very few English speaking, the trick is to go email action outdoors before you book and ask them how many solo English speaking are booked into that resort for that week.
Doesn't help you but I'm off on a solo trip to Argentiere with the ucpa for the week in the morning, hopefully this fresh snow comes in bucketloads!

I ended up quite lucky in the end as three English guys ended up coming in on a heavily delayed transfer last night so had a great day out with them today. So all good.

Welcome to snowHeads @Luna,
It's always a good idea to pop your details in the snowBuddy too.

@Luna,
Hi Luna,
On my last day today and can honestly say the experience has been amazing. Everyone is incredibly friendly. I was lucky in the end as 3 lads in my room are a great laugh.
Even if you aren’t lucky with room placements, plonk yourself at the bar and just chat to anyone. The staff and other French / Swedish visitors especially are more than happy to chat to anyone. There are quite a few Russians here this week and they like to keep themselves to themselves.
The instructors I’ve met have all been a laugh and the sessions I’ve had have been brilliant.
The food is great and actually brings everyone back together at lunch times rather than just seeing everyone in the evening.
If you have any nerves of coming on your own, don’t, you will have a great time.
My only negative is if you like to walk round the town / do a bit of apres, then that’s tricky as UCPA is quite a treck. But to be honest, people are so friendly you don’t really miss that side of things.
Hope you have a great trip.
Drew
