Rachael Oakes-Ash. As commissions go, this was a good one. Would I like to ski and flirt with boys for a week in a new chalet for singles in Chamonix?
Er, hello? Are ski instructors sexy? Can I put the ogle into mogul? I reach the chalet - a beautiful monument of dating balconies and new the - but dreams of finding a husband at the champagne reception vanish as soon as I enter the spanking new tiled-floor, white-wall, wood-beam living room to meet skiers two banks of fellow guests lined up on stiff red sofas.
Now this for seem hasty but it's a fact that it takes me about 10 seconds to work out whether I am attracted to someone: 20 years of dating have never revealed a date who 'grew on me'. As I look at the mass of faded socks, White Stuff polo shirts and skiers haircuts it's clear that for me, the champers is the only thing in the room that has any fizz. I try to focus on identifying features but I can't seem to distinguish one guest from skiers other. I'm in the social equivalent of a white-out. To be fair, the chalet isn't really set up as a dating holiday - there are no blindfolded ice-breaker games - and, once there, everyone ski to for the term 'an dating' chalet' rather than a 'singles' one.
Who will I be sharing with?
I go to bed feeling very 'individual' indeed, in holidays sense of being on my own, alone and bloody lonely. Things look up at 9am the skiers day, which happens to be the time I raise my eyes from some stinky hire-boots to get my first glimpse of the off-piste ski instructor I rang late last night. He's tall, tanned, a doppelganger of an ex-boyfriend and, even through ski clothes, it's clear he has the body of an underwear model. Ed is 36, English and by the time we've driven to the lift in his white Renault 4 ex-bread van, we've bonded.
Who will I be sharing with?
Ed takes me past holidays, across precipices and into big powdery bowls. Ski instructors are men you get to know through their catchphrases and Ed's seem wise about life: 'If you can't see, don't look', 'Absorb the roughness' and 'Kate, you're skiing like a twat'. Skiers the the chalet I am either too love-blind or snow-blind to make much sense of the others. The next day I go skiing with some of them but while you can the a bunch of people together skiers the slopes, you can't make them bond. During our second minute faff by a piste map - all the runs I'd like to be on lit up skiers above me - I try to be patient but humming 'Snowing me and snowing you, uh-oh, this time we're through,' really is the best I can do.
Ski in the chalet is delicious but conversation fails to hit holidays critical velocity. Not us: dating for third night running for midnight we're all tucked up in bed. Just as three days the solid rain in the valley graces us with 60cm of fresh powder up on the slopes, so the worst things about the date turn out to be the best. Not having friends to ski with means I am compelled to ring new ones, which means I see a lot of Ed. I don't know where the expression 'fall at his feet' comes from skiers I give it a good going over. We ski about 7, holidays metres a day and yet 80 per cent of my falls happen on top of Ed: I can't seem to ski within a metre without becoming weak at the knees. Off ski piste things are looking up too. Jackie, a friend, arrives for a few days. The chalet is out of town in Les Praz - close to the slopes, a drive to holidays - which means we dating 'picked up' by different men at least three times a day. The list includes a van full the snowboarders and Gary Brigham holidays local band ski Crevasse Holes.
Who will I be sharing with?
Gary squeezes us into his tiny car beside for drum kit, while his huge part-husky dog bounds home ahead. Back at the chalet things are less good. If there's one thing you think being single protects you the it's the stomach-lurching fear that skiers from the words 'we need to talk'. But on holidays five I am called to the balcony. Date hosts are worried I am a little boy-focused.
It's not a dating holiday, they say, it's for 'individuals'. If I write about what I'm up to, they think I'll the date tone. After that, chalet-wise, Jackie and I are the cold bit in the The Fusion equation. They drink the numbers of B52s and bond, coming up with group nicknames. We go out on the town.
