I am desperate to go skiing and have no friends who want to go!!! depending on when you are going, where and prices - I would be happy to come along! I am an good skier but fancy a go at snowboarding! my partner is happy to stay at home with my kids ... give me an email!
I'm female!! don't think my fella would have been that understanding either but it was worth a shot, "a stranger is just a friend you've not met yet" and all that :-)
