It appears tickets have gone on sale for the Meribel Little World festival taking place in various venues around Meribel 13-19Mar,2010. Acts performing at the festival include The Feeling and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The website is advertising an early bird pass for 90euros giving access to all the performances, sounds like a good deal. See www.littleworldfestival.com for more information.
We still have availability in Chalet Grange a Charlotte in Meribel Les Allues for the week 13-20Mar.

Christmas has passed and the New Year is getting closer, it is hard to believe we are already in our third week of the season in our La Tania and Meribel chalets. The weekend was hectic with the expected disruptions to flights and difficult driving conditions. Thankfully everyone managed to arrive before the evening meals which was a huge relief.
This morning we woke up to a layer of fresh snow and it is now snowing as I type. The area really is starting to look good as we continue to get small but regular snowfalls.
The staff are starting to get into a routine and doing a fine job, our biggest problems at present are a hot tub which keeps shorting(should be solved today) and the usual early season difficulties with France Telecoms.

All the Ski Hame chalets started operation last week with a relatively smooth start. There were a few minor
problems as we would expect with all the chalets sitting empty over the summer.
The first changeover was not so smooth however with the disruptions caused by bad weather,both in the UK
and out here in the Alps.
The snow has been good so far with extremely cold temperatures and small but regular snow falls over the past week.

All the Ski Hame staff arrived in La Tania and Meribel this week as we prepare for the start of the season. Anne and I turned up late last week to very mild weather, there was snow on the upper slopes but lower down there was no sign of the snow from a few weeks earlier. Before I had a chance to get my bike unpacked it had snowed Sunday night, both Meribel and La Tania were plunged back into winter. Now it looks great with snow lying in the trees, and we had more snow again last night.
Everyone is now busy getting the chalets ready for the first guests arriving next Friday. This is quite a big job as most of them have sat empty for the summer months, but the staff are making quick progress, the opportunity to ski and board when we are finished is a great motivator.
The Ski Lodge has been operating already even though the official opening is not until this weekend with Bring your Sisters playing. The Telemark bar and restaurant will also be opening soon, there had been concerns it may not operate for the winter as the previous company stopped trading at the end of last season. Fortunately the business was recently taken over and the new owners plan to be up and running soon.
