Sorry to have been so long in writing this. I put it down to laziness. Anyway, we arrived here on December 23rd with Elizabeth and her family, having had an early Christmas at home with all the family. We had a great Christmas here and Nick, the chef at the Sylvana did an amazing Christmas dinner with turkey and all the trimmings. Patryk is the chalet manager there this year.<br />
At the Rond Point we have Helen as chalet manager, who last worked for us 22 years ago at the Sylvana. Her partner, Stuart, is the driver etc there. For those who remember Matt, he is back again at the Rond Point as handyman, etc. etc.. And of course, Rory is the resort manager with Olivia as admin. <br />

We have had no snow since before Christmas but it is cold and they are making lots of snow so the pistes are good, though hard, particularly in the morning. Snow is forecast for Wednesday next week. We have had sunny, clear days, though cold - minus 5 -10. I had to have the heaters on for my gloves and boots yesterday.<br />
The pictures are a selfie of Elizabeth, me and Tommy (grandson aged 11) and John and Elizabeth's family skiing at Jaillet.<br />
Sadly, I have a torn meniscus in my right knee. I had a steroid injection in November but that has not worked, and I am scheduled to have an arthroscopy on Tuesday 15th. So my ski season is going to be curtailed this year. I am hoping that the operation will work and I shall be back on skis in March.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;">As it's name suggests, this could not
be a more central apartment in Megeve. It is metres from the Christmas
tree in the central square, 50m from the Chamois lift so straight up for
ski school etc. and right in the thick of it for all the Megeve charm,
cobbled streets, horse drawn caleches and of course wonderful bars and
restaurants. Yet, this apartment is at the back of the building so is
quiet. It is ideal for a romantic getaway having one double bedroom as
well as a comfortable sitting room/dining area with balcony and well
equipped kitchenette. However, it could also suit a family of four, who
don't mind being a little cozy, as there are also bunk beds in an
alcove off the main corridor. </span><a href="https://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/ski-weekends" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Short breaks and ski weekends</span></a><span style="color: black;"> are available as well as week's.

season 2019 which may mean an increase on some of our deals. However
right now and through until the end of this month, you can still book at

<strong>Back by popular demand - Le Sporting apartments</strong><br />
<br />
We're thrilled to announce that we have not two but <strong>three of the gorgeous<a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/megeve-ski/self-catered-apartments/sporting-apartments/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #ff3399; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff3399;"> Le Sporting Apartments</span></a> back on our books for season 2019</strong><br />
These <a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/megeve-ski/self-catered-apartments/sporting-apartments/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #ff3399; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">self-catered ski apartments</a>
are extremely spacious with two en-suite bedrooms (twin or double beds)
with large balconies and a huge open plan, sitting room, dining room
and kitchen again with balcony, beautifully furnished to a high standard
using wood and natural materials. The apartments have stunning views
through the huge floor to ceiling windows towards Mont Blanc, Rochebrune
and Megeve respectively. The Rochebrune is situated on the fourth
floor, Mont Blanc 2 on the second floor and Megeve on the first floor.
There is a lift so no need to worry about tired legs!<br />
We also offer our semi-catered option in these chalets for those who
don't want to cook but still want their own privacy. Meals delivered to
your door, just pop them in the oven!<br />
The Le Sporting apartments were <strong>extremely popular</strong> last season so don't delay in booking if you're interested or want a choice of dates/apartments...<br />
NB - for those re booking, the Mont Blanc 2 is the same layout as the apartment we had last year but is 2 floors lower down.<br />

<strong>Exclusive use of Les Clochettes</strong><br />
<br />
Thinking of skiing with all your family or a large group of friends? Why not come to our superior catered chalet <a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/megeve-ski/catered-chalets/clochettes/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #ff3399; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Les Clochettes</a> and have it all to yourselves!<br />
Sounds indulgent but <strong>exclusive use</strong> is a fantastic way to create memories or mark a special occasion in your own private space with staff to look after you!<br />
With five twin/double ensuite bedrooms, all with balconies and two with
jacuzzi baths we can cater for ten people in the main chalet. If there's
more in your party, we can also cater for a further four or six by
adding the apartment above<br />
Our superior catered ski chalet Les Clochettes is in an ideal quiet location for those that want to enjoy the <strong>peace of the mountains</strong> but still only a few minutes stroll down to the centre of Megeve to enjoy the <strong>picturesque cobbled streets, bars and boutiques</strong>.
Just 150m from the Rochebrune cable car it's very close to the slopes.
But the real joy is the chalet. Beautifully proportioned with a large,
spacious sitting room, looking out onto the Rochebrune mountain, you
can enjoy a delicious aperetif and canapes from the comfort of the
leather armchairs, or perhaps from the sunny veranda whilst discussing
your day on the slopes. Soothe any aches and pains away in our new
sauna and then relax over a four course dinner with appellation
controllee wine prepared by your own <strong>professional live in chef</strong> and served by your <strong>knowledgeable host</strong>
who are there to ensure your comfort. Then hit the hay and collapse
into soft, deep beds made with crisp linen to wake well rested for the
day ahead on the slopes. A hearty cooked breakfast will set you up for
the day.<br />
<br />
Don't forget we offer <a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/megeve-ski-weekends/weekend-prices-3/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #ff3399; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff3399;">short breaks</span></a> as well as full weeks in all our properties.

We've just had a marvellous last morning's skiing on Rochebrune. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the snow was freshly groomed and softening up and the pistes were empty. I've washed most of the ski gear. Now I have to finish cleaning the apartment before we leave tomorrow morning. This evening we are having a barbecue with the staff.<br />

Yesterday we skied on Mont D'Arbois and although the sun was out there was a chilly wind. Max and Heidi Stallard took us for lunch at the Gouet to say thank you for providing the flat for their honeymoon, which was very nice. Poor Violene and Guillaume were rushed off their feet as there were only four of them, two in the kitchen and two serving and they decided to close yesterday as they had no staff for today. <br />
<br />
Our Vallee Blanche trip with the staff was a huge success and great fun, in spite of it being Friday 13th. We walked down the arrrete and skied the first pitches in sunshine and then we hit cloud and it even started snowing. Our guides were Alex Perrinet and his friend, Thierry. They are very good and make it an adventure. We skied down and through a crevasse, Alex pointing out the three holes which we had to avoid. We also skied down the frozen river, which was a bit like doing the ski cross and with about the same amount of carnage. It was a great day and a big thank you to the staff, who have had to cope with the odd crisis (don't mention the ski bus crashing into the Rond Point on Christmas Eve).<br />

All our family has now left. Elizabeth and the children were the last to go on Tuesday. Most went Sunday but Baylys and Smiths left on Monday. However, we have Max Stallard and his wife who got married on Saturday and here on honeymoon. Max was a chalet boy at the Sylvana 18 years ago. His brother, Tom, was a chalet boy 2 years earlier. John went to school with their father, so we've known them forever.<br />
<br />
There is still lots of snow and it snowed Tuesday morning, though the sun came out in the afternoon. <br />
But spring is on its way at last. I saw a marmot on the Pylons piste underneath the Mont D'Arbois lift yesterday. I don't know where its burrow was.<br />
<br />
The primroses are now going mad on the banks in town, though I haven't seen any cowslips yet. The snowdrops and mountain crocuses have just appeared on the Calvaire near the Rond Point where the snow has melted. Everything is about a month behind. Most of the lifts close this weekend though some have closed already, like the Princess. But I think Cote 2000 is staying open for a week or two for the locals.<br />
<br />
Today we skied at Les Contamines for a change of scene. It was terribly windy, to the extent that it was difficult to schuss. How they kept the lifts open I don't know. We came down early as it was unpleasant, and the top bubble was closed for some time. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow we are hoping to ski the Vallée Blanche with the staff. </div>

Yesterday was Lizzie's birthday, 13 years old. We got up and looked at the rain. I got dressed in skiwear about three times, and kept changing may mind about skiing. The girls went up and said there was new snow so John and I ventured out and it stopped raining. We had a brilliant morning. We skied the off piste at Lanchettes a couple of times and then went over to Cote and skied there, though the visibility was not so good as it was snowing slightly. So we had lunch at the Radaz and then skied some more off piste afterwards. It just goes to show that you should get out, whatever the weather.<br />
Today was brilliant sunshine. We had planned a Valley Blanche trip with the grand children, but Alex Perinet advised that there was too much snow for children, and an avalanche risk of 4-5 so it was cancelled. Never mind. We found some untracked spring snow off the Epaule ridge and down to Communailles which was great fun. Lunch was at the Alpage where we baked in the sunshine. </div>

Monday was a lovely day, and the world and his wife were skiing. We don't do queues, but we had little option. By the time we had got everyone organised we managed to hit the lifts at about the same time as the ski schools. Sadly, the Princess lift closed at the end of the day, we are told for economic reasons. It is such a shame as those runs are in great condition. Anyway, the grandchildren did the luge, which Elizabeth said was very scary. The staff did it twice! By the end of the day most people had gone home and the pistes were deserted again.<br />

Yesterday we skied Rochebrune which was good in the morning but the snow got sticky in the afternoon. But then it is April. At the Rochford lift Mr and Mrs Snowman have presided for some time, but over the Easter weekend they bred an Easter bunny. His sparkly ears are very alluring. There was a huge party of us having lunch at the Telepherique restaurant, over 30, which was good, apart from the fact that their pizza oven had broken down. <br />
Today we woke up to brilliant sunshine so we donned minimal clothes. Which was fine until about midday when the clouds started to come in. We had lunch at the Gouet and got there just in time to bag enough tables for twelve of us, which was just as well as the weather deteriorated. By the time we had finished lunch it was a case of racing home as fast as possible. I was wearing my new, lightweight, 10 euro decathlon jacket, and was expecting to be sodden by the time we got to the top of the Croix de Christ chair. But not only was it snowing at the top but my jacket was waterproof. So apart from having damp trousers and snow clogging my sunglasses, I survived. By the time we got to Henry Sports the sun had come out. Most bizarre. </div>

We woke up to it dumping snow so we put on our ponchos and headed for the first lift. Sadly it then stopped snowing. We skied down the red Princess and got in the same cabin as Neville, Gordon and his and Carol's sons, Kit and Simon. Tomorrow they are all off for an adventure with a mountain guide for five days in Courmayeur, sleeping in a hut and skinning up to find untracked snow. If only one were younger and fitter! <br />

They went off and we waited for Alison, Matt, Jackie and Seb and then took them down the Monrosset field, which was lovely, but we had to step over a small stream at the bottom. After that, we skied left off the Monrosset chair down untracked snow to Bettex, then up and over to the Communailles field. Nothing had been skied too much, and though it was a little lumpy in places the fresh snow was perfect. <br />

Finally we skied, in a blizzard, down to Planellet. The top field was perfect, the bottom a little heavier, but fun. And we all managed to catch the bus. The kids loved it, in spite of one or two tumbles, and Seb declared that he thought he was getting better at the off-piste. This afternoon the sun came out but John and I came home to pack, as we are off to the Sylvana for our family and friends' holiday, 15 adults and 14 kids. I think I shall need a holiday after that.<br />

Yesterday we skied with Alison (who is the daughter of John's best man) her husband, Matt and their two children, Jackie and Seb. We skied the Rochebrune ridge but the snow was quite hard, although it did soften in the afternoon. Sadly the wind didn't, and some of the lifts were closed so we came back after lunch. We had lunch at the Staduel as Alison's father, Mike, doesn't ski . In the evening we went to La Galeta in St Gervais with Carol, Gordon, Neville and Drew as it was Drew's last night. <br />
<br />
It had started snowing in the afternoon and it was snowing really heavily as we came back. <br />

So today we were up bright and early and at the bus stop for the 8.40 bus. But no bus. They have changed the bus time table as the French holidays are now over. But we got to Mont d'Arbois soon after the first lift. And then we skied down to the Mont Joux chair which was late opening because of the fresh snow so we went up the Freddy drag and put in some fresh tracks there. They immediately opened the Mont Joux chair so it had been skied a bit but we came down under it because Epaule had not yet opened. Anyway we then did have success on the Epaule. We were on the second chair and first down the off-piste under the lift. As we went up again Ali and Matt and children were skiing down so we joined them and then skied over the back in deep powder to the Porcherry. Seb said he had a spectacular wipe out but no-one, other than his Dad, saw it. The rules of wipe outs are that they must be in front of everyone. <br />

As we came up the Croix de Christ chair we saw that they had opened Mont Joli so we rushed over there. There were only a few tracks down the Grand Chamois as most people were skiing down by the chair, and that was fantastic. We had lunch at Chez Tartine where we met Mike. The cloud came down and it started to snow heavily, so we abandoned our plan of skiing down to Planallet. Also John had left his rucksack in the restaurant and had to go back for it. <br />
But what a fantastic morning's skiing for the last day of March!<br />

We were promised new snow. but we only had a few centimetres. Perhaps more will come tomorrow.<br />
Neville has a disabled friend out at the moment, who is staying with Carol and Gordon. Drew skis in a sit ski, and it is amazing to watch him. He skis everything, even a steep black, but it's coming off the chair lift that he shows his real skill. It looks incredibly difficult to keep the chair upright and manoeuvre off the chair. He lives in Norfolk, near Hunstanton, where he can cycle along the promenade. A very interesting man.<br />
John is trying to sort out the repairs to the Rond Point. We were told that we need planning permission as we want to change the format of the windows. Philippe Scuotto looked amazed when John told him and said he wouldn't have bothered. John pointed out that he is English and if we go ahead and change the windows without permission someone is sure to complain. That's what happened years ago when we changed the colour of the walls of the Sylvana without first getting permission from the Marie. </div>

Nobody got up early to ski with us, and I had a cold so didn't feel 100%, so we didn't get out until mid morning. We got to Chez Tartine, the restaurant just above the intermediate station of the Princess bubble, at 12.30 together with half a dozen of our staff, and slowly the rest of the bunch arrived. Most had chosen to wear fancy dress, characters from the Marvel comics. So we had Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Captain America, Catgirl, the Joker and several others. We also had a Maid (Douglas had been given a very fetching outfit by Secret Santa and looked very sweet though he had to keep his salopettes on as the skirt was so short.) <br />

Dean was wearing a startling pair of red and blue sparkly shorts which he said were rather tight. We had a lovely lunch and then most of the staff went off to the Follies Douce.<br />
<br />
Today was another gorgeous day and we skied at Jaillet. The best views are from the top of La Giettaz. You have the Mont Blanc range, the mountains over towards Val D'Isere and the Aravis range. It was stunning today. There were few people about and the pistes were in marvellous condition, so we had a great ski. Sadly I think it closes next weekend, just about the time all our family come out for our family holiday. We may get one day over there if we're lucky. </div>

We have had sunshine the last two days, and cold, which has been great. On Sunday we had some fresh snow and we decided to ski down to the Chattaz bus from Jaillet. Unfortunately, John and I went too far to the right and ended up struggling down beside the stream. The snow was thick and heavy and it took us about two hours. It was not fun. However, we came out at the Husky dog farm. I really don't know how it operates - they seem to have 30 or 40 dogs there.<br />
<br />
Yesterday was sunny and Gordon, John and I skied past the Pre-Rosset restaurant and then skinned up the other side to the Verey ridge. Gordon was way ahead of us so we turned back before the ridge as some clouds had come in and we were concerned that the light would go. As it happened, the clouds cleared and we walked out in sunshine. There were two goats feeding on the lichen on the trees just below the cliffs at Cote. Sadly, they were too far away to get a good photograph.<br />

Today we skied through the trees down to the path that takes you to the Petit Fontaine chair. The snow was light and fluffy as the sun had not got to it. John and I then skied through the trees to the left of the Petit Fontaine run where there are some lovely glades. However, the stream at the bottom was extremely challenging. Gordon had gone down a different off piste run from Jardin, and said that was challenging also. <br />

We then met for lunch at the Alpage at Communailles. Jonathan Muirhead has torn the ligaments in his ankle so is unable to ski. Carol brought him in the car but the rest of us, Fiona Muirhead, Neville and Caroline and Gordon all skied over. We had a very good lunch. Carol provided two cakes, one for Neville's birthday in a day's time and one for Caroline retiring from work. It was a very jolly lunch. <br />
<br />
Our family come out in ten days' time and they are going to have a great holiday. All the pistes are open and are in great condition, and there is nobody here.</div>

Today they were holding a World Cup Ski Cross at Cote 2000. It started snowing this morning when I got up, and continued steadily through the day and it's still snowing. The finals were early afternoon so John and I put on our ponchos (essential when it's snowing to avoid a damp bottom on chair lifts) and off we skied to Cote. Sadly, the race had been cancelled. The officials said it had been rescheduled for tomorrow morning, but it's supposed to be still snowing. Tomorrow afternoon is supposed to be the finals of the moguls. We shall have to wait and see whether they manage to hold either. The last time we had the World Cup Ski Cross there was not enough snow. Now its because there's too much. <br />

Yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and good snow. We met Gordon and headed off to find some powder. We started on the Epaule ridge and skied off the left hand side down to the Croix de Christ. John took a rather better line than Gordon and me and found a track down the stream. We did quite a bit of uphill walking! So we did it again and skied down John's stream, which he said was very pretty. I was concentrating on not falling into it.<br />
<br />
There was a race going on of over 100 competitors. They were skinning up to the Epaule ridge, presumably from St Nicholas or Chatterix. From the top of the Epaule chair they took their skins off their skis, strapped them to their backs and walked up Mont Joli. It must have taken about another hour, hour and a half. From there they skied back to the top of the Grand Chamois, down that and traversed back to the Epaule ridge which they skied down to the big bump. At that point there were two slalom courses set down the left hand side. We watched one or two come down and it did not look a pleasant experience. That was the end of the race. It looked gruelling.<br />
<br />
Today was a completely different day, cloudy and overcast. I skied on Jaillet with Gordon, Neville, Caroline and two friends of Caroline's. John had a day off. I left them having lunch at the Bonjournal. It is now snowing but supposed to be a nice morning tomorrow. So we're hoping for a powder day. </div>

John went home for the weekend so I haven't been able to blog, as I cannot do it on my iPad. Friday we skied with Elizabeth and Caroline on Mont D'Arbois. They skied some off piste but it was heavy and we didn't feel up to it. It was OK but not as nice as the day before. We had lunch at the Gouet.<br />
<br />
Saturday was not a good day and we came home early. The girls stayed out and said they were the only ones skiing at Giettaz. Even the lifties looked surprised to see them.<br />

On Mothering Sunday John got up early to go to the airport so we three skied together on Rochebrune. We had a lovely morning and the snow was good. We had lunch at the Radaz which was busy. The girls were leaving early afternoon so we came back early.<br />
<br />
Today it was snowing so Gordon and I skied together. We went over to Jaillet and had to wait while they opened the lifts. They had to clear the snow before they could allow us through the gates. It snowed all morning but we had a great time. We skied the bowl at the top of the Christomet chair about 6 times. No-one else was doing it, possibly because the visibility was not too good. <br />
<br />
I had a contretemps with a tree branch and have a graze down the left side of my face. It is quite swollen as well, though I did spend the afternoon icing it. It won't stop me skiing!</div>

This week everyone has turned up. Our friends from Istanbul, the Hatton family, have rented a chalet near Jaillet. Our friends, Rob and Elspeth Pinckney, are at the RP. John and Tracey Cox are staying with Gordon and Carol in Combloux. And Elizabeth and Caroline, our daughters, are at the Clochettes. Wednesday we skied with Rob, Humph and Ruth Hatton. The weather kept changing. One minute it was a blizzard, and the next the sun was trying to shine. We had a good day. <br />

<br />
Thursday was fresh snow so John and I headed to Jaillet and up Christomet. No-one had skied the bowl at the top of the Christomet chair, so it had to be done, three times! Then we skied off the back down to the small drag lift. By the time we got to the top Gordon had joined us, so we skied down to the Chattaz bus. The bus driver was the same man who had told us to clear the snow off our skis and boots, and then had lectured us because we were at the wrong bus stop. This time we were at the right stop and had clean skis and boots. We still didn't get a smile. Then we skied down to Cordon where Carol and Tracey met us. By then the temperature was rising and the snow was getting heavier, so we decided it was time for lunch. We went to Chalet Emilie at Combloux which was pleasant.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today we skied with the daughters on Mont D'Arbois. They skied some off piste, particularly on Mont Joli, but it was heavy going and John and I felt tired. It was intermittent sunshine but overall a nice day. The pistes were quite crowded (for Megeve) as it is the last day of the French holidays, and everyone was out. But the piste down to Chatrix was deserted as usual - its odd how all the french seem to congregate around Mont Joux!</div>

Yesterday it snowed most of the day, stopping at about 4pm. We met Gordon and skied the Mont Rosset field and then down to Planallet where we met Neville at the bus stop. We took the bus to Jaillet and skied down the Face which was good, though the light was flat. We then went up again and skied down to Magland, 500m past the Medical Centre. As we got to the road the bus drew up. The driver told us to knock the snow off our boots and skis. <br />
<br />
Today the same driver picked us up and gave us a lecture about how we were waiting at the wrong bus stop. We knew we were but that bus only runs once an hour and we didn't have time to walk up the road, so we hoped that he would take pity on us and stop, which he did. A lecture is preferable to waiting another hour or walking a mile into town, carrying skis!<br />

Today was bright and sunny. We found some lovely powder off the back of Christomet. Gordon and Neville skied down to La Giettaz but we didn't fancy the track out along the stream. However, we met up with them later and skied along the ridge to the wooden cross (which we failed to find). The last time we did it was about 4 years ago with John Cox, where he received a call to say that the chef at the Sylvana had tripped on the stairs and put his arm through a window. Fortunately he didn't cut any tendons and was back at work within three days, but it wasn't a fun ski down. Today was marginally better in that we received no phone call, but the snow was deep and heavy and very hard work. But we got to the bus, and had a well deserved beer.

<br />
It's fair to say that over the last few days we've had more than our usual share of the white stuff here in the U.K. The only problem is that there are no mountains (or ski lifts) to make use of and this country is not geared up for heavy snow...<br />
<br />
As 'The Beast from the East' swept across the U.K, our Norwich office was covered with a wintry blanket. We have all been snowbound with poor Debbie unable to reach the office for two days. Meet our snowman!<br />

Oodles of snow in Megeve with more to come this weekend. It's been minus 15 out there so very chilly- super conditions though! This season is set to be a record breaker for snow.<br />
This pic was taken by staff in Megeve today<br />

We had a great morning mostly skiing pistes, as there was not quite enough snow to cover all the moguls off piste. However, we did the Monrosset field twice and that was nice. <br />
<br />
This afternoon the temperature has risen dramatically and we have sunshine. We haven't seen much of that recently, although yesterday was sunny. <br />
<br />
On Tuesday evening we had dinner at the Sylvana, and there were two Lincolnshire famers and the son-in-law of one of them who was a farmer in Somerset. One of the farmers lived in the village where I grew up, and his daughter and son-in-law married in the church where John and I got married 50 years ago. They knew a lot of the people I remembered as a child and teenager. It was a real trip down memory lane. The next day we skied with them on Jaillet and had an enjoyable morning showing them round the slopes. We do have some lovely and interesting guests.</div>

Yesterday there was cloud in the valley but the webcams showed that it was clear on top so I headed out. I soon realised that I needed to keep high so I skied over to Cote. All of the top lift, apart from the last little bit, was out of the cloud and the snow was great. There was no-one around and I virtually had the pistes to myself. However, the cloud crept up higher so I came home.<br />
<br />
Today it was -10C on our balcony. I wore 5 layers under my ski jacket. woolly tights and long johns. With heated gloves and boots I felt relatively cosy. I skied the runs which we don't usually do, Voltigeurs, Bridans, Le Schuss, Pylons. On most of them I was the only person. I decided to ski the Black Princess and got snarled up in a queue so thought that was a good time to come home. <br />
<br />
Gordon went out on his bike and returned home after 10 minutes. It was too cold. We have had a sprinkling of snow but it's probably too cold for more. </div>

We didn't get out until about 9.45 today as it looked grey. In fact. at the top of the mountain the sun was shining but it took a bit of time to burn through the cloud. We met Gordon at the Lanchettes lift and skied off the back past the Pre-Rosset Restaurant. <br />
<br />
Gordon pointed out a herd of chamois, though John thought they might have been goats, which were underneath the cliffs on Cote. We skinned up to the ridge, Gordon being miles ahead of us. He was skiing down to Haut Luce which is the back of Les Contamines, and then skinning up again. We were going a different route, along the ridge and then climbing over the top of the ridge to ski down to Praz-Sur-Arly. The sun was out and it was beautiful, though rather crowded. Eight people skinned up behind us but they were skiing down to Haut Luce. They were with a guide. <br />
<br />
After we had hit the piste in Praz, we then skied off and down a track which takes you to the road which passes our hotel Sylvana. It is a long way up and we had to ski down to catch the bus at Chataz. Sadly, the snow was quite tricky and we had to walk down the road in one or two places before we could get back into the fields. If the snow had been better it would have been a lovely ski down. As it was, it was interesting. But a change from skiing on the piste. </div>

Yesterday was a lovely day but I didn't feel well so stayed at home, and John skied with the Unthank Ski Club. Today was grey fog/low cloud, but we thought it would clear like yesterday. It did, but only briefly. We were planning to try and find the right route down to La Giettaz but because of the cloud decided not to. However, it cleared enough for John and I to think we would ski down to Praz. The top field was good, through the trees was OK, but the path out was horrendous. Five times we had to take our skis off, slide down the bank of the stream, cross the stream (fortunately they were all shallow) and climb up the other side, then clear the ice from our boots so we could get our skis on!<br />
<br />
At one point I realised I should have taken off my skis but it was too late, and I tumbled head first into a hole. So then I took off my skis. I was relieved to find it was a dry hole. As a result we missed the bus. John thought there was another in about 20 minutes, but when we checked the time table that one only runs on a Saturday. So lovely Patryk came and picked us up in the minibus. But we lived to tell the tale!</div>

John read an article yesterday that said one way of combatting dementia is to be mentally positive and remain active at our age (over 70). So today Gordon sends a WhatsApp saying that he was going to investigate spring snow on Rochebrune. We therefore take our touring skis and skins and follow the crowd - Gordon, Neville and Neville's partner, Caroline. They are all super fit, Gordon and Neville having spent a week ski touring in Italy recently and Caroline won two bronze medals last year at the Badminton Veterans' World Championships. And then there's us.<br />

The first bit was fine. We skied off the back of Lanchettes just below the Pre-Rosset restaurant. The snow was fantastic but it was over too soon. Gordon had already set off and was a dot on the horizon. The rest of us put our skins on and soon Neville and Caroline disappeared. John and I trudged up, wondering at which stage we should turn round.<br />
On the way a small plane flew over - this is Neville's pic of us trudging up and the shadow of the plane.<br />

We thought that when we got to the top of the ridge we might have been able to ski down to the restaurants at the end of the road which passes the Sylvana, but on the ridge we were not sure that the way down was obvious, particularly as we knew there was a cliff in the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
So we opted to follow the others (again) and ski down the way we had come up. And that was fantastic. See pic on right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The walk up the other side was tough. This is Gordon in the foreground with John & me behind, but if you look carefully you can see our tracks coming down from the ridge at the back.<br />
<br />
But we survived the day and had a pint in the Dahu, together with lunch ( a cereal bar.) We have now decided we need new (much lighter) skis!<br />
<br />

By the way, this is the first week of the Paris Holidays, but thankfully the Parisians don't get up early.. Here is a pic of the Jardin Piste which we skied at about 10.15 before we started touring.<br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: #ff3399;"><b>New summer adventure holidays in beautiful Megeve at our catered chalet Les Clochettes!</b></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Yes, it's two "news" for us next summer. Firstly, we'll be offering our </span><a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/summer-menu/accommodation-travel/catered-chalet-clochettes/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff3399;">superior chalet Les Clochettes</span></a><span style="color: black;">
on a catered basis next summer. Food will be simpler than in the
winter but it'll also be significantly cheaper. Prices will start at </span><b><span style="color: #ff3399;">just £450/person for a week</span></b><span style="color: black;">
or £180/person for a 3 night short break! So you can get to enjoy
lovely accommodation at the best price, we've even just installed a
sauna (more on that in our next winter bulletin!) so you can sooth your
aches and pains away post adventures!<br />
<br />
Our second "new thing" is that we'll be offering </span><a href="http://www.stanfordskiing.co.uk/summer-menu/megeve-summer/things-do/" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #6dc6dd; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff3399;">adventure holidays</span></a><span style="color: black;">
for those staying at the Clochettes, so you can make the most of your
alpine experience. Choose from hiking, mountain biking or road biking
where you can discover the mountains under your own steam, we'll provide
maps and show you to the nearest bike hire shops. We'll even transport
you to start and end points of hikes/bike rides for free (one return
trip/group/day) should you like to venture further afield. For those
who would like more adventure, our partners at Evo 2 offer canyoning,
white water rafting, guided mountain biking, glacier walking and much
more.

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: #ff3399;"><b>What's Megeve like in the summer?</b></span></span></h2>
<span style="color: black;">Megeve is a beautiful, picturesque village
summer and winter alike but I have to admit, I have a special fondness
for the summer. It's just so relaxed. Up on the mountains the air
smells of pine and you can get away from it all, swimming in mountain
lakes and watching the cows munch at their pasture. The village is
beautiful at any time of year but in the summer there are lots of
special events from the jazz festival and show jumping events in July to
bands playing and orchestra's playing in the central square in August.
You can visit farms and see the cheese being made or enjoy the new
swimming pool and leisure facilities with great slides to keep the kids
occupied, not to mention the luge which is fun for all the family. The
best things are simple, sitting in the square sipping "un verre" & </span><span style="color: black;">watching the world go by. What could be better!</span>

What an exhausting two days it has been. Both days have been sunny and cold, though today started off a little grey. Yesterday Gordon, John and I did a run through the trees which brought us out near the Fingers Restaurant. It was about a 10-15 minute walk out, carrying skis. Then we went up Christomet and walked up the knoll, probably about 15-20 minutes this time, and skied down to La Giettaz. However, the path along the stream was slightly different, so there was more poling along it than usual. The ski down was in perfect snow.<br />

After that we thought we would ski to the bus at Praz Sur Arly, but as we were on the ridge, Gordon pointed out where he had reconnoitred in the summer, walking up from the village of La Giettas, about three miles from the ski area. So we decided to give that a go. However, we got a little lost in the forest so ended up walking along a track for a considerable distance, which was very hard work in the deep snow. We also had to take our skis off about three times to cross streams. Eventually we got down and caught the ski bus to the ski area and came home.<br />

Today was more skiing than walking, thank goodness. We stayed on the Jaillet side and had three lovely runs down, twice to around Cordon where Carol picked us up, and the last time down to Gordon and Carol's chalet. We were skiing untracked perfect powder, with no-one in sight.<br />
<br />
In the afternoon we parked our car at Magland and caught the bus back to Jaillet. We then skied back to the car, through the trees and the meadows. The snow was not as nice as this morning as the slopes are south facing, but we found some reasonable snow. So in spite of it being the first week of the French holidays we managed to avoid the crowds. When we did get on the pistes we were pleasantly surprised how uncrowded they were.</div>
