Our Adventures
Last day skiing today and thankfully the weather was good. Much warmer than it has been over the last few days with sun and snow showers passing by in a brisk wind. We'd planned on heading out further today to a new part of the mountain and exploring some new runs. Although it was a... Continue Reading →
The wind had really gotten up over night. At the top of the mountain it was gusting at 60mph. We'd begun to rely on a weather app Amy had found which had so far proved reliable and today it said the wind would be dropping later and the sun would be out. We weren't disappointed....

There comes a point on any skiing holiday where getting out of bed becomes more difficult and today was the day. The boys were beginning to look a bit jaded but after force feeding them pancakes for breakfast the sugar rush seemed to do the trick. Callan also worked out how to use google translate...

We knew the weather was coming and today it definitely arrived. Each day we see our own Blizzard that we love dearly, well today we saw the meteorological version. It was an easy decision when we looked out the window whilst sitting at the breakfast table and could barely make out the mountains a matter... Continue Reading →
Day two and it has to be said that we're all feeling the effects of yesterday. Amy crawled from her bed like a bear awakening from hibernation, except this one looked like crutches were required. By half past seven there was no sound from the adjoining room. I rang and someone sounding like Harrison answered.... Continue Reading →
Remind me to travel from Luton again. 20 minutes up the road, loads of shops and no way near as busy as Heathrow or Gatwick. In usual fashion we over estimated the time to get there and were sitting in the terminal with three hours to go... Breakfast was nice and there was plenty to... Continue Reading →
Today has been another glorious day for skiing. Still loads of snow and not a cloud in the sky. If anything it’s been a little too warm as the snow got a bit soft this afternoon. It’s that time of the holiday when getting out of bed becomes more of a challenge. Not being used... Continue Reading →
It’s now 2130 and we’ve just got back. What an incredible trip and meal. We met our rep who walked us down to near the ski school to wait for our skidoo. The sound of a high powered motorbike began to rapidly approach and then in a cloud ice crystals our carriage had arrived. Hooked... Continue Reading →
Today was a day for sun cream. After yesterdays enormous snow fall, the cloud lifted and the sun shone. Harrison was feeling a little under the weather today but soldiered on with the slopes beckoning. After our usual fill from the breakfast buffet we left for ski school. The scenery today definitely didn’t disappoint. You... Continue Reading →
After the huge downpour yesterday, we thought there was a break in the white stuff. The first couple of hours this morning were brilliant. The pistes were beautifully prepared, the sun was sneaking through the clouds, there were occasional glimpses of snow capped mountains framed with cloud. We were flying down the moutains back towards... Continue Reading →
One of the first things I always do when on holiday is check the weather. Crystal has provided a ski app with maps and other functions which also included a weather forecast. It had been saying all day that there was no snow on the cards for today. How far from the truth. The boys... Continue Reading →
The first hurdle to negotiate was the timing about how exactly long it's going to take to get everyone into their ski gear, how much they will do for themselves and how much the phrase 'can you help me' gets used. Being the first day it predictably took a long time. The plan to let... Continue Reading →
