All together we had my Mum, Dad, Brother Tom, Uncle and Aunty Pete and Lucy, Cousin Dan, Ants Mum Vicky and friends Andrew, Sarah, Philip, Maddie, Jack, Adam and Josie. All together there was 16 of us. We started the week off as they meant to go on with welcolm drinks and nibbles in the bar of the chalet.
Monday morning we woke up to fresh snow so everyone was keen to get out on the slopes. Met for lunch and drinks in our favorite ice bar, where the bar is made of snow! After this Tom and I went to ski the off piste snowcross in Avoriaz. I must say this was one of the best runs I have ever done. Knee deep fresh tracks and we were side by side bouncing in the snow from top to bottom. We felt we were on Salomon Freeski TV!
Tuesday morning the "kids" went for a blast straight down to the bottom of Linga with out stopping and then heading back and into Switzerland before lunch at Pomme de Pin for there delicious Tartiflette. The boys enjoyed a beer in the hot tub when they got back.
Wednesday was our day off and we made it a big ski day. Getting up early to make the best of fantastic snow conditions we headed for Morgin town in Swizerland. Stopping at our favourite sun trap restaurant over looking the Swiss mountains for a coffee in the Boxer barrel. We had booked to go to La Dez Alp's restaurant for our dinner which was fantastic but before everyone came to our apartment for pre dinner drinks and nibbles. It was a bit of a squeeze to fit 14 in but great fun.
Thursday was a more relaxed morning on the snowboards and meeting for lunch in Linderets. Now the sun was shinning and very warm so a great sunbathing day. The weather stayed like this for the rest of the week. 
Friday morning the A team went for a early morning blast around the Swiss towns before making it back for lunch in the goat village, Ant and I had a great ski with mum after we had finished work down to chatel and back. In the evening John and Esme drove around from Abondance to join us for dinner, making the group even bigger.
So the last ski day came around so fast, Saturday was another glorious day with the favourite runs that weren't yet skied in the week covered and an enjoyable beer in the music box over looking Morzine town. The afternoon skiing with Mum, Dad, Pete and Lucy for there last few runs before they all finished for another year. That evening we had a pre birthday celebration for Maddie as her birthday was on the Sunday but going to be spent travelling! So more bubbly was drank and several rounds of happy birthday sung.
The end of the week came and we can't thank everyone enough for a fantastic time. The best guests we've had of course and we were sad it was all over so soon. It won't be long now until we are back so looking forward to seeing you all back home when I'm sure we'll share various funny stories to be shared.
