Kacie, a single woman, embarks on a week-long, singles-only ski trip to Tignes in the French Alps, organized by dating company Thursday. With hopes of finding love among 1,000 attendees, her experience takes an unexpected turn.
Disappointing Start
Upon arrival, Kacie finds herself in a shared apartment with seven strangers, quickly realizing that meeting the love of her life might not be as straightforward as she hoped. The initial excitement is dampened by the reality of the situation.
Health Issues Among Attendees
Adding to the challenges, some of her roommates are dealing with health issues. One has the flu, while another is suffering from a kidney infection. Despite the setbacks, Kacie remains determined to make the most of her trip.
Smaller Crowd Than Advertised
The event, marketed as having 1,000 attendees, falls short of expectations. WhatsApp chatter suggests closer to 500 participants, with the official Thursday account stating around 700. The crowd is predominantly heterosexual, and many attendees note that they keep running into the same faces.
Unexpected Interactions
Kacie's experience is marked by unexpected interactions. At a chalet party, she meets two girls who reveal that more than 25% of attendees are returning from the previous year. The sober spa party day at Le Lagoon, an aquatic center in Le Lac, provides more opportunities for singles to meet.
However, not all interactions are pleasant. One of the girls has thrown up following a big night out, and a man in the sauna makes a creepy remark, telling Kacie that he is "into Asian girls."
Cost and Experience
The trip, costing £859 for one of the cheapest packages, offers a mix of experiences. While the saunas and spa parties provide chances for socializing, the overall experience is a blend of limited romantic success and unexpected encounters.
