Winter has started

The trees have only just started to turn colour, a couple of weeks ago we were still in shorts, but already we have snow. It is only just into October and we don't expect it to stay for long but it bodes well for the future. There may not look like much down here at the chalet, about an inch. But we are only at 1100mtrs our nextdoor neighbour was on top of Pleney this morning (at 1600mtrs) where there was nearly 10 cms. Definitely time to break out the winter woolies and wax the board (just in case).

Note to self

Blogs are funny things, certainly when you have one for the first time. Never too sure if anyone is reading what you write or not, it's sometimes hard to know how much energy to apply and how much information people will be interested in. But the other day I met some one who admitted to reading our blog on a regular basis. This simple act of recognition has given me a renewed passion, so I would like to start with saying hello to Chris and then make a promise to keep my posts regular and keep anyone who wishes to be upto date on conditions and goings on in Morzine.
Please feel free to ridicule me if you feel I am slacking in my endevours.

Here comes the hot tub

It's here finally, our lovely new hot tub. It's been a while to wait but after lots of deliberation and planning Chalet Chambertin can now boast a hot tub amoungst it's other comforts. All we need to do now is complete the decking around and we will be in for a good soak.

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.
