Snow Snow and more Snow

Dear All,

Well it is now looking very wintery and we can feel that the season is already starting to kick in. Avoriaz is opening up tomorrow for the weekend as is Chatel and the Grand Terche ski areas. The resort is already starting to get busy with shops and restaurants starting to open and all the Christmas trees and decorations are being put in place ready for another magical Christmas time in Morzine.
Our staff all turn up this week so we thought that we would introduce you to them:
Kim - Chef at the Desmeuniere - Australian - mad about everything to do with food and skiing. Has lived in Tuscany for the past 6 months and this influences her cuisine. She has a quiet confidence about her.
Sophs - Chalet host at the Desmeuniere - British - Sophs worked for us cleaning a few seasons back and is a great girl. Lots of get up and go and lots of chat. She has a nothing is too much trouble attitude.
Sophie PB - Chef at the Alpine Refuge - British - Sophie speaks fluent french having spent the last 6 months as an au pair in southern France. She loves cooking, skiing and is looking forward to the work and play!
Joanna - Chalet host at the Alpine Refuge - British - Joanna has worked in Morzine during the winter and summer and has come highly recommended having both hospitality management and silver service experience. She knows the area extremely well both on the mountain and off.
So that is the main team for this season. They and us are all looking forward to those guests who will be joining us this winter.
Just for the record we still have catered availability in the Desmeuniere and the Alpine Refuge for Christmas week so please ask us for special offers in these chalets.

More snow forecast for this weekend and we are going to take our son Jack who is 4 out for his first ski of the season. Not sure how much time we will spend standing up but should be fun.

See you all soon.

Sam
