Merry Xmas to you All !!

We have had a great time so far, with Ian Hancock and his family in over Christmas. Really sorry the Courtney's couldn't make it due to flight cancellations but looking forward to seeing them in January now they have re-booked.

Xmas eve brought fresh snow and it snowed for over 24hours. It made Christmas even more special and we had a snowy ski on Xmas day in Villaroger along with the guests after a lazy  smoked salmon breakfast . A few drinks at La Ferme before heading back to the chalet for Canapes and Champagne followed by a traditional Christmas dinner. Then a few jumped in the Hot Tub to round every thing off !

Boxing day has brought more snow, and sunshine so a perfect day for everyone. We have just had a 2nd Xmas dinner lunch with all the leftovers and the girls have been to ski club.

We are looking forward to spending NY with Sandy Lewis and friends, as well as our friends Gonz and Lorraine, Fletch and Nicola.

Here are some pics from last week, snowy ski on Xmas day, girls helping out with prep on Xmas day and Xmas Eve celebrations in the square with the live nativity , hot chocolate and vin chaud, with a visit from Santa.!

Happy NY to you all and hope to see you in 2011!!!

    

           

Les Arcs has opened and the Season has started. We skied there on the first day and once again there were few people on the pistes. It was pretty cold but the sun was shining and we had a good first day.

The week before we skied in Val D'Isere. Great conditions for the beginning of Dec and once again nobody there.

Our first guests arrive on the 12th Dec and we are all ready!! New recipes have been tried out and the wine is in the cave!!

Here are a few photos from the week. Fabulous Conditions all around!!!

 

 

 

Still lots of availability so give us a call !!!! 

Its snowing down to 1500m as we speak.

Yesterday we went to Bourg St Maurice Bourse to buy the girls some ski boots and Anneha got some skis. Its a second hand place where all outgrown boots and skis from last season can be bought and sold. Everone helps each other out and its so much cheaper than buying new year on year as they grow so quickly.

Jonny had a ski this week on the Tignes Glacier. Its open and at 31 euros for the day, worth going up with the conditions at the moment.

Here are  a couple of pictures from the day.

 

We are all looking forward to the start of the season. I'm planning our menu and we have bought all the wine, after numerous tastings, which is actually great fun. Here is a video clip of us wine tasting lol...click here!

Jonny passed his Summer Mountain Leader course this month, which is a requirement for the International Mountain Leader Qualification he is aiming for.

Hope to hear from you all re booking, still lots of availability!!!!!
