Aaaand Breathe

Hey guys!

So we have pretty much had sun and spring skiing for the past 2 weeks, right up until yesterday when the snow arrived again and we have had two perfect powder days!

Today we spent on the skis after a massive day on the boards yesterday, the powder and the skies were just awesome!

It is a quiet week for us with 2 of the 3 catered chalets empty, this actually feels like a ski holiday; we get up when we fancy breakfast, go out for a ski, grab some lunch and just cruise back home to get changed and think about dinner / apres.

Over the past two days we have been trying all sorts of things in the stash on both the boards and skis that at the beginning of the season I would have looked at and just thought no way! Regardless, everything aches now and we have a race tomorrow... preparing to get destroyed by 8 year olds who live out here.

That's it for now, we have just been skiing and working, no extra special trips to mention but we will write again as soon as we do!

Cya!

Friends, family and fairly good weather!

Hi all,

So this has been an awesome week!! The weather has been amazing, clear blue skies all week. Saturday night Ants mum Vicky arrived. Sunday my Mum, Dad, brother Tom, cousin Matt, Grandma, Grandad and friends Emma and Ben arrived at 5pm. By 5.05 the boys were on the beers! They all helped me out (even though on holiday!) so could ski with them and it was just great to see them and spend time with them all. Ant was really busy with 16 people, but we got to ski with Vicky and catch up with her too. We tried to arrange lunch times where everyone could get to so we could hear all about the mornings antics.

On  Monday we met at the Music Box restaurant where G and G could get the Super Morzine lift up.
It was a good first day stop, people had found their feet again in the morning and were ready for the rest of the week

Tuesday we went over Morzine and Les Gets side of the mountain. Managed to see Jo who I used to work with which was brilliant. Had a good catch up and little ski with her. For lunch we met at the Clubhouse restaurant which is on Les Gets golf course in the summer. All in all there ended up 15 of us!

 

So Wednesday was Dad’s birthday and what a day that was! Again waking up to clear blue skies and Matt had a great idea that instead of coffee we should surprise Dad with champagne in the snow. So Ant skied over with 3 bottles and glasses and we buried it in the snow, arranged to meet everyone at this point and got dad there without him realising. It worked out well and Dad was very pleased.

 

From there we skied all of one run to the Ice Bar for a pre lunch drink and then on to Pomme de Pan for lunch. We took over the upstairs restaurant and celebrated well.

Thursday there was a coffee pot on at Ant’s and my apartment. Sadly Friday morning G and G went home. For the rest of us it was back to Avoriaz, everyone went to Switzerland and back whilst we went shopping and then we met for some burgers at Chez Flo. The weather still shinning made it very relaxing. Tom, Matt, Dad and I went off for some moguls and off pieste whilst Ant and Vicky had a final ski together. Saturday Vicky left Chalet Chery and went home so we got up and said our goodbyes.

 

A final day skiing with the family was a lot of miles and a lot of fun. Including the Swiss Wall, Linga and back to Linderets twice and a finial beer at the Ice Bar.

Everyone left us at 7 Sunday morning and by 7.10 we were asleep again on the sofa! Everyone had worn us out. So we’ve had a relaxing day today. Drove to Les Gets and pottered around there. Went into a second hand shop to see if there was any snowboards that suited us, unfortunately not! But the lady was really really nice and said were welcome back anytime!

Here is some more pictures taken throughout the week. All in all it was a perfect week and we loved seeing all our family and friends. Thanks for a great week everyone!
