J2Ski group holiday to Tignes January 13th 2013

I am pleased to announce that I have decided to go on this trip but will need to share a twin room with another person, is that person you?

I have gone back into the threads on this subject as a refresher on all the comments regarding the up & possible downsides of getting involved with people you don't actually know & still consider it viable, the reasons I have for this are as follows.

I take Tony's posts in particular as he gives the most reasons for the possibility as not a workable project & I take on board what he says & it appears that we don't know each other as the main sticking point.I ski with a group in March every year & new friends of friends are a common occurrence & as we have a draw for room & who you will be sharing with, you could well be sharing with a stranger as often happens.
In my experience the stranger becomes a friend very quickly & I put this down to peoples attitudes, for example you are all there because you love to ski & if you were the anti social type you would not get involved with a group of people you don't know would you.

The people that have included themselves in the group so far I'm sure are very socialable or would not have agreed to go, Tony says you my find your J2ski Nemesis going, obviously this assessment has been derived from postings on this forum in which case you should also be able to define who you would feel comfortable with & that's the way I see it, I believe we all subconsciously profile people on forums by their posts as these I suspect relate to their attitudes, some good some not so, same with all forums.

As for travel arrangements I would think that all would be able to get there independently by car, train or plane, in our group last year to Turin some flew from Birmingham others from LGW North & South & still spent the trip together, so I don't think this will be problem.

OK just one last thing, please bear in mind that all the friends you have now were strangers to you when you first met -)

Welcome aboard Brooksy.

I am sure we will have a great time and I, for one, am looking forward to making lots of new friends.

:D :D :D

:mrgreen: Brooksy,

You need to put and advert on here !!

Stating your basic parameters for who you would share with and hope to find there is another lurker who would find you a suitable share.

You know .........

Single, GSOH etc etc
Non-snorer and any other pertinent details :thumbup:

If nothing else you may get some feedback :roll:

Wickers said he would share!

Hi Brooksy, welcome to the group :D

I am quite sure we will all get along fine together on this holiday. I am a pretty easy-going kind of person, and like you said I have made many friends just because we have been in the same place at the same time.

I made friends with my 'best friend' at school at the age of 5 simply because our names came after each other in the register. And I am still very close friends with her now. Likewise, when I went to uni I made friends with the girl in the next room in our uni Hall, and we shared a house together for the following 2 years.

I could go on ...

I am a very sociable person and I make friends easily, although I am not a party animal. So I will be the sensible person when we're out and everyone else has drunk too much - the one who remembers which chalet we're in and how to find the door etc.... :lol:

So, as Brooksy says, we are looking for a suitable room mate for him, for this holiday. I have allocated him room 6, which is an en-suite twin with a balcony on the first floor.

I'd share with Brooksy if I was going. But I imagine he'd probably not want to share with me :lol:

Good on ya Brooksy, and everyone going on this trip.
