So the last couple of weeks have been both busy and quiet. We were very lucky that just after the last post the temperatures dropped and we had a great snow fall. For 3 days it just kept snowing. This meant lots of great powder. We had a superb day around Linga in Chatel with our friends James and Dean. We traversed around the side of a peak and enjoyed a very peaceful untouched powder field. In the sunshine a snowball fight had to be done and make snow ski/board angels!
Last week in the Portes du Soleil we had Rock the Piste festival. This is where across 5 days stages are set up on the mountains in different towns and acts perform. On the Wednesday we saw the Klaxons in Avoriaz whilst it was snowing and dancing in ski boots. It's a great event and something you definitely won't experience at home!
On Monday our friend Charlotte arrived to come and stay with us and learn to ski. Having not ever skied before we took it very gentle on Tuesday, teaching her the basics and pottering along the nursery slopes. By Wednesday afternoon when we caught up with her after work she was flying! Conquering all the blue runs across the super Morzine area. Thursday we managed to ski to the Swiss/French boarder and Friday we completed every blue run in Avoriaz. Considering Charlotte had never put on a pair of skis before Tuesday morning she did extremely well and we all had a lot of fun together.
We are into our final couple of weeks here in Morzine. Can not believe it has come to this time of year already. We have just a couple more groups staying with us on short breaks and then it's time to close down the chalet and hand back the keys.
We shall report back with a penultimate blog very soon.
