So we are coming to the end of our adventure! Can’t believe
how quickly 5 months can go! We so lucky to have done all the amazing things in
that time. The weather has been up and down here. We had days and days of solid
rain and then this week it’s been clear blue skies and temperatures of up to 34
degrees! However today the rain has returned!
Ant’s last guests left 2 weeks ago and mine last weekend. We have closed down the chalets ready to hand back to the owners for the summer. Doesn't seem that long ago we were getting them ready for the first guests with Christmas decorations! All 7 of us from the Host Savoie team went out for some celebratory drinks after the last meals were cooked and guests had left.

The slopes close this Sunday, with various closing party’s
happening in Avoriaz. We were fortunate to go on the new Prodain Express Cable
Car which was meant to be ready at the start of the season but ended up for the
last week! It’s very impressive and quick! Only taking 4 minutes to get you up
to Avoriaz from Prodain and you can get straight onto a Cable Car without
having to wait. Where you arrive in Avoriaz is great and they have dug into the
mountain so all the walls are still the rocks! Here’s us on it.
On Sunday night Sylvie cooked for us all in Chalet Chery, we
had meatballs and home made potatoes, it was great. Monday night was Andy’s
turn to cook and he did his famous Fondu. A lot of cheese but very tasty.
Tuesday evening we had a trip down to Thonon with the guys and girls from
Rolling Road who are the transfer company we use. We went bowling first and
then for an Indian. Huge fun and lots of competition! Sylvie came out on top
for Host Savoie followed by Ant just 1 point behind! The sports battle between
myself and Andy was increased to 5-0 to me!! (Just by 1 point as well!) Indian
was delicious and made a great change from bread, cheese and ham which is what
you have a lot of in the mountains! 
Friday we went to some Thermal Spa’s in Switzerland. They
were very relaxing, some great outdoor warm spas and then also a freezing
natural river from water straight out of the mountains. Apparently it’s great
in the summer! Also with Saunas and steam rooms and an 8 degree ice pool to
jump into straight after!
Friday night the weather went from really warm 34 degrees
during the day to snow! Woke up on Saturday morning with a foot of fresh snow
on our balcony and even more at the top of the mountains.
Last night was the last day on the slopes where we joined in
the parties at Chez Flo and Les Trappures. Unfortunately it was very foggy all
day but here is some pictures of us there the day before when the bands were
rehearsing.
Last night was the last time we were all together as Joe
left early this morning and Katie fly’s home later today. Sylvie picked us all
up and we went to St Jean D’aulps for a Bar National Pizza. Sarah leaves
tomorrow and then it’s just Ant and I left. We decided to stay on an extra week
to have a little holiday so return on Monday 29th. Looking forward
to seeing you all then!
This is just some photos over the last couple of weeks!
We finally got Andy on a snowboard!
