Just 2 months before the ski season starts in Meribel and Courchevel with La Tania opening up a week later, and it looks as though there is snow on the way later in the week. We are now busy with preparations for the chalets and the new season. We are having to adapt to a change and increase in our chalet line up for the season, but everything is going well at the moment. Even the Xmas cakes have been finished though I will be honest, it was Annes mum who baked them. Looking forward to getting back out to France, we should be there around the middle of next month

We have returned to the UK after a great summer season in the Alps. The weather has been very good this summer with temperatures consistently in the high 20\'s and into low 30\'s which made for some great alpine cycling. We will be looking forward to next summer, and in particular next years Tour de France. Before that of course, we are getting ready for the 2009 2010 ski and snowboard season which will begin in just over 3 months. Bookings are going quite well for the time of the year and we expect this to continue with a massive reduction in ski chalet beds available in the Alps for next winter

I have great news in that we have Chalet Bouquetins back again for next winter. It has been 4 seasons since we last ran this chalet but we are pleased to have it back for next ski season. Bouquetins was always a popular chalet, and is in a great position, close to the piste, village and Chalet Papillon. We should have details on the chalet up on the website later this week.

The end of the season was a bit of a hectic finish closing up 3 chalets and 3 apartments as well seeing the last of the staff off and handing back 2 leased minibus, we wondered whether we were going to get it all done in time. But we did .... just, Anne and I handed the vehicles back just before getting our lift to the airport. We have been back in Scotland for nearly 2 weeks now, finishing off the end of season paperwork and looking forward to next winter. For the moment we have only agreed to 1 of the chalets from last season, that being Chalet Papillon in La Tania. We will be heading back out to France to renegotiate or change chalets for the 2009/2010 ski season, watch this space for updates.

It is hard to believe we have reached the end of the ski season already. It always passes by quickly but this year really feels as though it has gone even faster, it has certainly been busy from start to finish. We are now closing the chalets down which is quite a big job. A few have the staff have already departed with Alison and Steve from the Raffort chalet starting their summer jobs with PGL and David from chalet La Combe on his way back to London and the web design agency. The rest of us will leave here at the end of the week. The end of the season has been hectic with chalets full right up to the finish, the last guests left on the weekend. The snow was excellent to the end, spring was late in arriving but there was some amazing spring snow in the last 2 weeks. We hope to get a chance to put the skis on again before we leave with limited lifts still running out of Meribel.
