The snow’s a bit thin but fun was still had!! And, some great skiing was found.

January 15, 2015

The second weekend in January saw Alan Lawless returning to the chalet with his engineer friends from upp North (Preston area to be precise). They were joined by some new guests from the opposite end of England. Margaret Turgoose and her girlfriends arrived in the chalet from nr. Exeter, Devon. They had tried to come, one time before and this time made it to ensure we all had a great weekend!!

It really can be a small, old world. Margaret, Sarah and Sam all live in the same small village of a friend who I’ve known for years, from the days we used to share a house in London in the mid 1980’s. Thanks for the recommendation Liz, I think it’s time you paid us a visit once more – insist you come with the girls next time!!

It is always great when you have two separate groups who’ve never met before gel so well together, you’d have thought they had known each other for years!!

A great atmoshere and ambiance ensued all weekend as shown by these pics!

: Sarah, Sam and Margaret on the way down to Prodains. Ski host was very impressed Sarah was the first guest we’d had in the chalet who was telemark skiing!!

: Told you we found some powder! Dave, Steve, Alan and Vince high above Lindarets with Lac Montriond in the distance.

: We set out to find the new lifts connecting Super Chatel and Linga but in the end settled for a bit of Off-Piste. The new lifts open January 24th! Should make a big difference to anyone doing the PDS circuit.

: It seems Dave Carr had a secret talent. He wrote very witty poems and could recite them equally as well.

: Not to be outdone by Dave, Sam and Margaret decided to show they also had some hidden talents. Here they are performing their rendition of songs from the ‘Sound of Music’. Rita decided that she could give them some moral support.

: The girls (Sam & Margaret) said Sarah’s day was made when we bumped into her and she could share a few runs with the boys late in the day. Here we are on the way down to Ardent, under the gondola – snow looks good and yes, you can see there’s some on the trees.

: After some great fun on the slopes its important to have some fun back at the chalet. True, Dave and the girls had warmed everyone up with their respective talents and a few drinks did flow this particular evening.
