Pre Xmas and New Year at Chalet Margaritka
January 3, 2015Before Xmas we were joined by Costin Mihaila (a former colleague) and Eunice his partner. Hadn’t seen Costin for a while so it was great to do some skiing with him. We had a good time despite a lack of snow – hope you don’t hold it against us Costin?
And, for New Year the Stubbins family arrived who’ve become firm favourites with us and (we hope with them!!) plus their friends the Hawkins family and Alison Stonham and Kev Driver (also, firm favourites at the chalet!!). The guys were extremely lucky because just before they arrived the heaven’s opened and more than 30 cms of snow fell in the village alone. This meant skiing conditions became just great overnight.
The pictures tell the story – everyone enjoyed themselves!!
-
- Costin & Eunice looking pretty cool!!
-
- In Avoriaz with Roc d’Enfer in the background.
-
- A great Wii contest developed between Costin and the Tsar (Alex) – bowling, tennis, table tennis, skiing, baseball. All were played in the evenings. Think Costin just shaded it!
-
- And, certainly you couldnt keep Eunice out of the action!!
-
- Costin and Alex on the slopes. Outrageous! The Tsar of Wales failed to follow us off-piste.
-
- New Year’s Eve in the chalet with the Stubbins’, Hawkins’ plus Alison & Kev.
-
- At the dinner table – a gourmet duck delicacy was served. Doesn’t everyone look happy! Must have been all the good wine?
-
- Could be brothers – Glyn & Kevin.
-
- Champagne was served on the balcony at Midnight – it’s a tradition!! As we watched the fireworks from Montriond, Morzine and Les Gets.
-
- And we did manage some skiing – just a great shot from a fab day in Avoriaz.
-
- The whole group spent a great day on Super Morzine, in the Lindarets bowl – we even managed to ski below Avoriaz. We got so carried away we were all late for lunch at Marmottes – luckily they did keep our table.
-
- Mike and Lewis decided they wanted one last run of the day. Look at that sun setting!! They were a bit tired in the evening though.
