Skiing (I appreciate it is summer!) for the single man.
Discussion
It's that time of year, the office is a bit quieter, people are out on the summer jollies. Being that my skin tone ranges from translucent to angry red, I've never been a big summer holiday person and normally around this time of year my thoughts wander to the snow and the joys ahead for this season.
Only this year my usual skiing companions are falling like flies. Most seem to be knee deep in kids now which aparently makes things too expensive - serves them right for spending all their money at Disney! So I'm starting to search for options that are more conducive to the single traveller. Ideally somewhere that caters for like minded folks who want to experience the chalet holiday experience and ski hard all day.
I know there are a lot of seasoned skiers and boarders on here - anyone with experience of the single friendly chalet operators?
I'm a ski club member and they seem well geared for single travellers, but not sure I fancy the tuition which most of the trips come with. Although open to persausion.

wow - some great suggestions, thanks guys.
I've only looked at HOFNAR so far and that already fits the bill. Will check out the other places too and intrigued by the idea of a US road trip doing a day or so in each resort.
Yes - had heard about the issues SCGB are facing with their leading. Hopefully it will get sorted as it is a great service.
I've skied for over 20 years including a season working in Tignes, so agree that the instruction tends to be more guiding than anything (probably because I am too stubborn to correct my technique!).
