Hello Yvonne I'm a beginner (skiing for 1 month now) and I live in Lausanne. I would be happy to go skiing with you (long blue piste would be perfect for me now) and why not for some lessons too.

Cheers

Sounds great, would love to join!

I'm a beginner, wide blue is exactly what I need. Live in Geneva so Croset is ideal for me. Also happy to share a lesson. 

Hi all,

      I'd be up for it too as these days it seems there are sunnier days during the week than the weekends.

      I also live in Geneva but, and as long as it's not the French side (more difficult to reach with no car), the venue is not a problem.

But I only noticed you are looking for weekdays skiing... which in my case is not possible.

sorry

So...shall we pick a day I see it's a 2ish hour train ride form Montreux to Les Crosets. 48 minutes by car. What do you guys think? There's also someone else that contacted me by message to say she was interested, too. (I have a 2 door Audi A3, so some space but not a ton!)

Would anyone want to share a lesson, or shall we brave it on our own? Someone recommended this school and the rates are not so bad:

Hi,

     let's look at the weather forecasts and pick a day when the chances of getting some sunshine are high? it's so much more fun to ski in the sun!

     checked the website and I agree, prices are ok. I'd be happy to join a course for a couple of hours as last time I did a course was a few years back.

     As I said, train is a good option for me. It's a little longer than by car but not in a rush.

Meteo looks ike some snow and clouds through Wednesday. Let's wait a couple of days and hope that it clears up for Thursday or Friday 

it looks like a plan!

Bonsoir,

    Friday looking a touch better than Thursday. We could wait until tomorrow for a more accurate forecast. Any thoughts? Let me know if we rolling.

This sounds very nice.  Can anyone join in?  My friend alex badly needs to learn how to ski, he is very out of control.  

Definitely, Stephen, the more the merrier.

My week has gone mad and I don't think I can manage Th or Fri. Next week is wide open, and meteo looks good for Monday.

What do you guys say?

I'm going to post an activity to go to Les Crosets on Tuesday. Hope to see you guys then!

Ack, scratch that. Tuesday is  a no go. Any other day, though, will be fine.

Hi Yvonne,

I am a beginner ( I have had one 2 hour lesson) and I am available weekdays, so I would be happy to share some lessons with you. Just let me know when you can make it or I will look out for your posting.

Monday is the day!

I can't do Monday, but let me know when the next one will be. I also do not have a car, so if there is a nice person that has a car would be possible for me to go with them?

Hey guys!

Should we give this a shot again this year? I work independently so I have a flexible schedule and would love to do some weekday skiing to take advantage of fewer crowds.

I live in Montreux and I have a car, or we can go by train. 

I'm up to give Verbier a shot soon....anyone?

Hi Yvonne,

I would be interested in joining during January, I am flexibile with the schedule as long as it's on a sunny day. I live in Geneva and I am also a sort of beginner.

I am interested also, and I suggest Monts Jura for plenty of easy slopes

I'm planning to take next Thurs / Friday off and was thinking about heading to Leysin, over at the Montreux side of the lake.. There's a 30.- day pass on groupon right now. 

I havn't been before but looks good, revolving resto at the top, parking at the bottom and nice long blues inbetween.

Last weekend I was at Lelex and that was ok too.

Hi all,  I'm very interested in going on a weekday too, especially if it's sunny!

I'm just back from Dolomities (Corvara and Kronplatz) but unfortunately weather was bad, so not too much skiiing. Next week looks snowy and windy here, but if the weather clears up, I'd be up for trying Leysin. I went a couple of years ago when I was first learning to stand on skiis and it wasn't bad for beginners.

My week is flexible so any day Tuesday-Friday will work for me.

The weather is looking a bit questionable for this week!?

I still have free day Thurs so weather permitting, happy to go somewhere.

I decided .. Snow looks good. Leysin for me.

If you see me in my yellow tartan jacket, say hello!

Gorgeous day at Leysin yesterday and going back today.. 

Look out for the yellow tartan jacket and say hello  

Anybody wants to join me tmr (Monday) in Leysin?

Hey Ali B..  I was there Thur/Fri and it was great. However, the snow was really melting a lot .. I'm not saying don't go, just double check conditions. Even up at the top above 2000m the top layer of snow was really wet and slushy, was sometimes hard to make turns because it just made a big pile of slush and nearer the bottom the grass was coming through in some places. I saw a huge difference between my two days.

But all said it was still a really good couple of days there.

Bon Ski!

I went today. Weather was nice, pistes almost empty but the snow, as you said, were melting really bad. I covered most of the pistes in the leysin area once, since I have never been, and then just skiied the hell out of the powdered red piste at the bottom of the revolving restaurant.

Next Sat I'm going to Gstaad to close off the season, if anybody want to join me.
