So another week has flown by, scary to think tomorrow is Febuary.
This week has been mixed weather wise. Over Thursday night we had a huge snow fall which lead to Friday being a fantastic powder day out on the slopes, even with some sunny spells too.
Last weeks guests were mostly Scottish and keeping to their traditions when normally back home, on Saturday night we had a Burns night super. They traveled armed with haggis which was served with neeps and tatties. The men dressed in kilts and Robert Burns Poetry books on the table, a good evening was in store. Unfortunately we couldn't find any bagpipes in Morzine available for the evening so they all played O Flower of Soctland on kazoos to walk the haggis in to! The haggis was then addressed and everyone raised a toast with Wiskey before the dinner began.
The Winter Olympics start next week in Sochi and in case we get a last minute call up we thought we would have our ski boots prepared and got these Union Jack buckles. 
Sadly at the weekend my snowboard came to the end of its life. After a sad ride down in the cable car a shopping trip started for a new one. I tried Ants DC Ply board on Tuesday and loved it. We went into a local snowboarding shop and fortunately they had the ladies equivilant called the DC Biddy in my size. Wednesday morning I did try out another but it wasn't quite the same at the DC board, so I am now the proud owner of a new snowboard and having a lot of fun on it. 
I don't have the heart to throw my old one away, so we're going to find some old Ski poles and turn it into a coffee table or something!
Today has been one of the best of the season so far. With fantastic pistes and clear blue skies we headed for Switzerland. The perfect opportunity for some action photos. Taking both the GoPro and Ant's SLR we traversed and climbed to a remote untouched spot with the Dents Du Midi in the background. Here is some of our photos on and off piste.
