The season is passing so fast. We've been very busy with lots of tops up of snow. We did actually have about 10 days of continuous sunshine, where the temeratures rose to about 17 degrees at 1000m, however its come back cold again in the evenings and the last 2 days have been snowing.

Jonny and I have  just had a lovely morning in Villaroger. The powder was light, on piste as well as off. We were still getting fresh tracks at  11.30 am which just shows how much we have had. 

The photos below show what great coverage we have got, snow right down to the Village and no stones/rocks in sight. This means a great end to the season mid April. Once again late snow is forcast for this Valley!These photos were taken this morning. The lift one is the bottom lift in Villaroger, near la Ferme.

Ive added a photo next off Anneha from her race the other week and a picture of my Girls Ski in Ste Foy 2 weeks ago, it was a beautiful day and great to catch up with everyone as we are all so busy!

  We had the long weekend with The Birks's and Co, trip over to Italy another highlight. Lots of people we haven't seen for years have been recently. Our friends Mick and Sally who we did a season in Val D'Isere with 12 years ago recommended us to their friends, who broughts other friends, then we had Mick Matthews from Sutton, Ruth and Hector, who is sister to Anna and Jim who we also worked with in Val. Sam and Mark who lived in Silsden but are now living the dream in France came up for a few days too. So its been great catching up, thankyou all for coming.

The photos below are of Anthony, Shiv, John and Gareth in Italy, first time Shiv has ever been and she skied there, and then the other is Neil and Nigel Howden in Ste Foy , top of the third lift.

   The Whitlams brought us a great curry from England, its one thing we really miss. Even Jonny's Indian Kofta cannot beat a proper Indian Takeaway. Christine's suitcase went back much lighter after she had given us all our goodies.

Jonny's training for the Haute Route is in full swing. All his extra light kit is holding up to the training too, he's loving his new Movement skis. Only 3 weeks to go and he's skinning at higher altitude now. 

Still no sign of flowers in Le Loissel as we still have so much snow. Arthur the stag is still making an appearance morning and afternoon except he has lost his antlers now.

Anybody wanting to come for during the Summer, please get in touch as weeks are getting booked up.

We've had more snow since I last wrote and conditions have been good all season. Bookings have been good and we cannot belive we are nearly 3/4 the way through the season.

Jonny is training for the Haute Route. He is climbing  at 500m an hour , but wants to go faster. The red wine consumption decreased when our good friend Karl Cook left the Alps last week. Training is now back on track. He is looking forward to going and they have a good team of locals going from here.

Half term week on the slopes was surprisingly quiet and the guests had a great time. Weather was lovely too. Its  snowing again today.

Anneha competed in the Villaroger Grand Prix and did well. She was not on the winning podium but didn't miss a a gate and got down in a good time.We were all cheering for her. She loved it too.

Ffion is skiing much better , we took her out most days during the school holidays and she's been having lessons too. Its really showing in her confidence. She loves to go off the sides and follows Anneha everywhere.

Here is a link to a powder day Jonny and I had in Villaroger about 3 weeks ago. The snow was amazing. Look out for my fall and Jonny hitting the tree. Click here

We still have availability(the whole chalet due to a cancellation) 4th - 11th April 2009 , Easter week, so please give us a call if you are interested in coming to stay.

We have been so busy over the last few weeks, ive not had time to do much updating!!!

Its been mine and Jonny's birthdays in the Month of January and we were lucky enough to have friends staying at the time. This meant we could celebrate in style and we certainly did. We had a lovely lunch in Bellieu Fume in 1950 and even had powder on my birthday.

Snow has been fabulous since I last wrote. We have had a few more trips over to Italy and enjoyed Villaroger to ourselves again after a big dump overnight, meaning they kept the Lanchettes closed.

Ive attached a video showing "the Girls"(Jo, Sarah, Lorraine, Emma and Becky) enjoying the foot of powder we had on the piste in Villaroger, keep the sound up its hilarious. Click here.

Darren, Tony and Joe kept us entertained with their Mutsig antics. they made it into the basin, the first ones to do it this year.

The boys trip went well, Andrew, Mike, Andrew and Tony got plenty of miles under their belts and some great falls, especially the one in Italy Andrew ,when you fell off the edge.

We have the Halifax/Sowerby Bridge party in now who are a great bunch. They are all doing really well with their skiing, and we are aiming for an Italy trip by the end of the week,depending on the weather.

The World Championships are on in Val D 'Isere as we speak. Anneha went on a  school trip yesterday to watch the Women's Super G. We saw her on Eurosport that day and the class were interviewed on the radio. She came back with her face painted red, white and blue , swinging a Swiss flag, bless her. She managed to get a few autographs , unfortunately not Bodie Miller's for me!!! 

Conditions could not be any better at the moment , we are certainly having an great season to date. Bookings are good , with space still available for anyone not yet booked in.

Here are a few photos from the past few weeks, happy days!!!!

The last photo is BEAUTIFUL VILLAROGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
