As a widower for nearly 2 years now, I need to be more courageous and have a ski holiday on my own (probably in Feb). I am going twice in March - Andorra El Tarter with mates, and mid March to Tignes Le Lac with my daughters and son in law. Last year I had 3 separate weeks skiing in Jan, Feb, and March. But this year I won't be going till March. Any recommendations for someone going alone in Jan or Feb?

I really enjoyed making this type of video, and it was quick and easy to do. Let me know in the comments below whether you like it and would like to see more..

However big or small 😀

Any other skiers on here get altitude sickness sometimes? I’ve had it at a couple of resorts in Austria and Switzerland where the common factor seems to be getting quickly whisked by cable car from a base station at say 1200m up to around 2500-3000m. I’ve felt sick, dizzy, disorientated and it can be debilitating and most importantly spoils my fun. It does tend to get better through the week. I know it’s much more common amongst mountain climbers who go a lot higher but it’s a common theme with me in that kind of resort. I’m fine somewhere like Tignes or La Plagne when staying higher up. Anyway, I’m going to try some medication next time acetazolamide, known by the brand name Diamox. I’ll let you know how it goes and if it’s any better.
