January 29, 2012

: Top of the Ardent Bubble – it just snowed and snowed that weekend

: The Boys & their friends were damn good skiers!! Don’t mention the couple of blips on the Swiss Wall – the guys insisted! Honest!

: Just a great place for a coffee!

: Me old muckers from many years back finally come to Chalet Margaritka. Great to see you guys. They were joined by new guests Nicki and Tim who tried to suggest they hadn’t ski’d much – ha ha! Nigel is the one with the hair by the way!

: The Ruskies get everywhere these days! Even Chalet Margaritka – Our friends from Moscow made their annual visit

Xmas, New Year 2012 – Winter couldn’t have started any better!!

January 8, 2012

Sophie and Erin visited Chalet Margaritka over New Year with their parents Mick and Louise who had stayed at the chalet last year with friends. They had never ski’d before. Look at the video to see what can be possible due to modern equipment, a bit of desire and application on behalf of the new skiers and just a little guidance for a few days over a long weekend………

: After the back country – Lunch opposite the ‘Dents du Midi’. Epic!!

: Seeking Paradise in Switzerland, Lunch in Morgins beckons!

: It was just a great day’s skiing!

: What posture for their second day on skis!! So relaxed, simply naturals.

: Rita shows off her fine cake for New Year. Everyone liked it – lots!!

: Mick, Louise, Sophie and Erin were joined by Kevin and Mark for a few days of skiing and frivolity to see in the NY.

: It went to a 5th match in the CM World Series. Think Wales came up trumps in the end?

: Xmas day in a nice restaurant on the Pleney. A bit different to Perth, Australia I suspect?

: Was it something we said – Where is everyone?

: Clair and Carla came all the way from Australia for Xmas. The snow and weather had to behave themselves!! Perfect powder and beautiful sunshine.
