The girls go to Praz de Lys

We visited a new resort this week - 'Praz de Lys' which is a 40 minute drive from Morzine, through Lets Gets on the road to Taninges. The guys from the Mountain Bus Company drove us gorgeous girls for a well deserved outing in the beautiful sunshine. The day started as we meant to go on - a bottle of Champagne at the bottom of the first lift to celebrate Milly's engagement!

Praz de Lys is a lovely little resort with many 'cruisy blues', but also some great reds and blacks that had even me going do them and turning too!!! Yes they we rather steep but so perfectly groomed that it was a breeze. We did most of the resort before lunch, well everything that was accessible with the lifts and avoiding the drag lifts at all costs!

We stopped for lunch at a super 'snack bar' with a very sunny terrace to catch some rays....delicious food, tasty wine (it was so cheap compared with Morzine and Avoriaz - a bottle of Rose wine for 6 Euros!)....but with one rather huge downfall.....the establishment had no loo!!! So only a few runs later we found ourselves in a very old bar/restaurant right at the bottom where we were being met by Mountain Bus - happily situated next to the open fire and the loo's!!!

It was a great day, thank you girls and a huge thank you also to Jacquie for the photos - check out her website & blog.... http://www.jcutlerphotography.co.uk/

Better late than never

I can only apologise for what despite my best efforts and early season promises, has been a very poor show in keeping our blog upto date.


My excuse, upto you wether you feel it's good enough, is that we are having the most amazing season and I have had so little time to be able to do so. But its true our sales are up 20%, and we have have more snow than we can deal with, literally. I am running out of places to put it when clearing the drive at Chambertin, you can no longer see all the view from the hot tub the mound is so high and I have developed snow shoveling muscles. But complaining i am not.

And to make things better today the 6th March, it has been dumping since wednesday night (today is friday) and it's not due to stop till tomorrow and then another 3 day dump at the beginning of next week. bring it on.

And I know I have been slack at keeping you posted, but most of the last 2 months would have read the same as i've just written here.

Credit crunch, global warming, not here.
