Backs&Blacks@ChaletMargaritka

There may have been a lack of snow but this didn’t dampen the hearts of the Dingwalls (inc. Olly), Horners and Sarah. They made the best of the conditions and achieved considerable progress on both skis and boards.

It’s a while since we’ve run a full week at New Year. And, there’s no doubt we must do it more often!! Everyone had a good time and now we’ve been introduced to the cardboard box game. A quaint little affair where you have to pick the box up with your teeth off the floor (no hands allowed – to help or support your weight). As it gets smaller and smaller, (each time you are successful – you rip a piece off) it just gets harder and harder! Don’t think anyone has had so much fun for NY’s Eve with just a simple, cardboard box. Luckily, no injuries either!! Although, one or two of the older gentlemen were coplaning of sore hamstrings the next day!!

Here are some pics of the fun they had:

“Good morning world” said Mr. Dingwall (Gary)!

Outside Chalet Margaritka before another day on the slopes

The view just after we arrived! How could we be too disappointed there’s a lack of snow

A cheeky Vin Chaud to end the day!

Another sunny day on the slopes, and look there is snow!!

Someone looks like the hada great day – Milly!!

A fabulous Alpine sunset above Avoriaz

The Tsar & Rita join the Horners. We were able to show them some runs they probably wouldn’t have found

Who said we couldn’t get above the clouds?

In the Lindarets bowl for lunch

A fab night at ‘La Chaudanne’
