New for Summer 2008

Not wanting to slow momentum, we are continuing to improve our chalet and what we can offer. New for this summer will be a hot tub housed in it's own decking out the back of the upstairs lounge. We will also have dressing gowns and complimentary slippers to go with this.

We are adding french doors to the dinning room so that the decking can be accessed directly from there. The bed rooms are getting a make over with three more getting redecorated and they are all getting carpeted with a new real wood floor in the lounge.

Here is an artist impression of the front of the chalet and some themes for the bedrooms to be decorated.

Chalet improvements

Over the last year we have been constantly improving our chalet. As some of you may be aware this is what we have done over last year.

Renovated and expanded kitchen.

Stage 1 in decorating the bed rooms, the family room.

Big decking and BBQ out front in time for summer.

Epic conditions

With the whole alps getting a series of storm fronts crossing over, the conditions have become epic. With a meter fallen over last few days and plenty more due even before the end of the week, everyone here has been enjoying global warming defying powder days. Heres a couple of shots from last weekend.

More snow than you can shake a ski pole at.

With our second dump in a week and the base now topping out 2m 30 on the higher slopes, conditions are great and looking good for the rest of the season. Here are some shots from tuesday around Avoriaz.

This season just gets better and better

we have been quiet for a while as were left camera-less, and thought no one would believe our reports of great snow with out being able to document the evidence. But last week with new camera in hand we took some of our guests over the Col du Fornet and down the Vallee de la Manche. Oh and it was an amazing blue sky day with 2 ft of fresh. Gotta love living in Morzine.

Heres looking for a white Christmas

Rather frustratingly we have had to concentrate on getting the chalet and our staff ready for the season whilst it has continued to snow. But yesterday I could hold back no longer and forgoed lunch in order to get some turns in. Hunger has never felt so good. Full coverage of waist deep fluffy white heaven. Visibility was bit poor but fine through the trees of Lindarets and still quiet as Avoriaz doesn't officially open till the 15th. It has only stopped dumping this lunch time (after 4 days) and you don't often see the trees at the chalet looking like this. Going up again Thursday when the suns meant to be out so will post more photos then.

Wish you were here

This might be hard to believe (especially as have broken camera so no photos) but had, yesterday, what I can already say will be one of the seasons best days.
Went up at lunch time into to what seemed pretty poor visibility, headed to lindarets could see fine, there was 2 foot of fresh on the piste and saw 4 other skiers all afternoon, epic.
And the best bit is it hasn't stopped snowing, settling well down to 900 meters.
