16 year old only ski trip???

Hi there,
Me and some mates are looking into an unaccompanied ski trip February half term next year where some of us will be 17 and some 16. I understand that it will be very tricky and quite expensive yet those are problems we can deal with. I want to if anyone has done something similar previously and how it went? I know we can fly alone and we are planning to find a youth hostel to stay in yet ski hire and insurance may be tricky and would love some help.
Thank you

Do you or members of your group have experience skiing? It's the sort of thing you need an experienced supervisor for - it's very easy to get concussions or broken bones from skiing accidents. You should have someone ideally with first aid knowledge too to mend any minor scrapes or bruises. Stay safe!

Yes we are all quite advanced skiers, but still looking for any available help on hire or accommodation

Insurance is a bit of a pain for minors w/out parents.
