Looking forward to going snowboarding and want to get a trip booked up. I’m a chilled male boarder that hasn’t been for a few years, any one fancy joining me?

@Ph1l25, why don’t you join us on a bash. The Pre Birthday Bash or the Birthday Bash might be suitable.

I've been to Pas De la Casa few times. Like it from a snowboard point of view. If you like long downhill runs then it's not for you though. Hasn't got the decent of the Alps. The whole linked up area is decent sized.

@LeonSkiBug, I'm going to Via Lattea from Jan 8-16 and looking for people to share lodging costs. The ski passes are dirt cheap, and it's easy to get to from a flight to Turin. LMK if you're interested!

Why go secret on Whatsapp?
You have a thread here to discuss it where you might yet find other people to join you, or other snowHeads might chip in useful advice.
As soon as you go to Whatsapp, that's it: closed bubble.
I don't see why you'd want to bail on a thread that's already served you so well.

@Dortaorta. Do you know if public buses will run between Turin Airport and Suzie on a Sunday? I remember trying to do it years ago and it was tricky. Got stuck in Oulx.

Porta Nuova to Olux
Bus or cab up to Sauze last bus 1945
Don’t know about Sundays?

@earl, Good thinking! I hadn't looked into the fine details quite yet.
Bus from Airport to Porta Nuova (https://www.aeroportoditorino.it/en/tomove/parking-transport/by-bus) $8.50 (sorry I dont have the euro key lol)
Train from Porta Nuova to Oulx (shorturl.at/bfntX) $7
Bus from Oulx to Sauze, last departure 19:45 (https://www.sauzeonline.com/travelling-to-sauze-doulx/) $5
so... exactly what Leon said haha
Seems like travelling on sunday will make no difference. I haven't found much on the bus between oulx and sauze, though. Worst case scenario, we taxi

Anyone in Chamonix from NYE 31st December? I’m looking for ski buddies

@Dortaorta, I think someone mentioned cheap Via Lattea passes for uni students...have you managed to book any online or are they even for sale yet? We're staying (3 of us) in Oulx 8-15th Jan flying from Turin. Trains work out fine, and apparently there's a bus (hourly) from Oulx up to Sauze.

@teledemon, nooo way that's great to hear! Have you already booked your lodging?
And yeah I saw the uni student pass for students. Very excited about that. Last time I checked (a while ago) they weren't available yet, but I'll def take advantage of that.

Yep we got a apartment in Oulx. Its a bit far from the slopes, but fairly close to the station where we need to be early on the last day for our train back to Turin. Buses up to Sauze are hourly, and cost about £10 for the weeks unlimited travel (I think). I can't get over how much cheaper public transport is in Italy...wondering why we've never done it before. We would normally hire but prices seem to have shot up and TBH I'm glad no to have the hassle of snow tires/LHD/cramming skibags into a fiat500 etc. There may be a further transfer involved with the (free?) skibus in Sauze but hey we're from the Highlands and we don't see much in the way of busses up here so it'll be a bit of a novelty...

Both the kids could take advantage of the student pass, but I'm heading in the direction of free bus travel next year. Student days definitely behind me...

@Dortaorta, @Dortaorta, @Dortaorta, found the info here...https://www.vialattea.it/en/skipass/university-students/
so that works out at about £130 for 6 full days
