 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, I’m totally new round here! Single 37F with no kids, skied on school trips as a teenager but never since. Was surprisingly very good at it. Loved it. Friends/family have no interest in skiing but I’d absolutely love to do it again as soon as possible.
Was recommended this forum by a kind stranger on Reddit, but I’ve no idea what I’m doing.
I’d love to know if there’s anyone else out there in a similar boat that’s perhaps organising a trip, or anyone who would like to organise a trip, I don’t really know what I’m asking - I just want to ski, ski, ski and meet new people!
Thank you, SnowHeads!

Hi - I actually saw your Reddit post and it reminded me to come here! I have a Tirol snow card and a 4x4 campervan with all my stuff in it that I keep in Salzburg. I would be happy to split the cost of a hotel room in a hotel where I can park and take advantage of the food and spa but would then sleep in my van. Probably 70/30 split would be fair. Tirol resorts only (there are 90 of them) - any time in March. Very flexible.

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, welcome to snowHeads.
Check out the site forum, link...
https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewforum.php?f=31
Take a look at Solo Skiers v Groups - Organising Trips...this is where people looking for skibuddies put their posts.
Also snowEvents - those marked A, near the top of the list are the current season trips still available. The End of Season Bash 2026 might be interesting for you.
Also the thread marked S - A Guide to snowHeads Bashes for the uncertain snowHead...useful and honest introduction to what the Bashes are like.

Thank you! I’ve been recommended the EOSB which looks amazing, but can newcomers come to this? The whole thing seems right up my street!

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, bashes are open to anyone, even boarders

Woah, I’m new around here, not deranged

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, yes newcomers can go to the EoSB, it's brilliant. In April you'd need high factor sunscreen, or you'd end up HeadLikeAFknBloodOrange.

@peakyB I’m pasty so the factor 50 comes everywhere I go anyway. I should have called myself HeadLikeAFknTomato

Also, is there somewhere I can chat to other EOSB first timers? I’ve looked through as many of the posts I can, including the links above (very helpful, thank you) but I’m not well versed in forums at all!

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, Go on a bash. Just put yourself out there, be yourself. You'll love it. They/we are just normal folk that love to ski/board, talk shite, eat, drink and have fun to any and all degrees.
I've only been on one but it was cool and I honestly think it;s a great way to go sliding and have ffun.

You know it makes sense.

@tangowaggon, thank you! I’m definitely going to look during the week and see if I can get the time off.
Is there somewhere I can see what’s included, e.g. lift passes and so on? And is there somewhere I can see about equipment rental and how this works if I book on?
Sorry for all the questions!

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, all the information about what is included is in the first post of the EoSB thread. There's an equipment rental shop in the Oxalys that normally offers a good deal to Snowheads.

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, welcome to snowHeads!
Have a read of the EoSB26 thread, which you will find in the snowEvents forum. There is a ton of information in it and, towards the end of the thread, you'll find someone trying to offload a single room booking.

@sugarmoma666, thank you. All I can see is this:
Equipment Hire: I normally arrange very preferential rates locally for the whole group.
Still very much finding my way around here!

@HeadLikeAFknOrange,
Two links below, which wi give you lots of information…
2026 End of Season Bash
https://www.snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=173334
2025 End of Season Bash
https://www.snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=169502
A leisurely scroll through the 2025 thread will also reveal some of the questions others have asked, along with some answers.
One thing that may not be mentioned could clinch the deal.
You would be given, free of charge, a snowHeads neck buff. When worn around the mountains and bars, you will not only impress everyone without one, but will also be readily spotted by fellow snowHeads. Sometimes it even gets you a discount in kit rental shops, bars and possibly massage parlours.
If this isn’t enough, although the colour varies, on some Bashes it even matches your FknsnowHeads name.
Happy browsing.

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, yeah but you must take that Factor 50 if you don’t want to be an easy peeler.

Took the words out of my mouth. It was you who recommended I go to the EoSB when I joined 20 years ago..Best decision I ever made (possibly)

@HeadLikeAFknOrange, how’s it going? Have you decided to go skiing again? Hope your head hasn’t started going squidgy, we don’t want you ending up in the compost bin.

@Agent Orange, I suspect whoever owns this sock puppet OP name already knows.
Or am I getting cynical?
