We were there first! On Saturday 4th October we were the first on the snow on the Bochasses run this season. Our guests walked back to Morgins from the top of the run. If you look very carefully at the picture you will see Rush in the minibus saying he doesn’t want to be forgotten. To be fair he had already had a walk that morning in the snow. That was before we all went into the village to watch the herds of decorated cows walking down to rejoin their winter quarters accompanied by an extremely noisy orchestra of extremely loud cow-bells… On the Sunday we all went to the top of the Champery cable  car and some walked back by the snowy Ripaille run, which you may recognise, into Champery. A brilliant day out!

Snow is now well settled on the peaks but we are still enjoying autumn sunshine in the village. Watch this space – the webcam picture is updated every 15 minutes – the snow will soon be here! I’m really looking forward to the winter season. 
I love this time of year when I hear from previous guests with news of their families and summer holidays. Bookings are going well already from previous guests and some new families. We still have space for Christmas and New Year.

Last year Morgins was one of the first resorts to open the main run. All our guests enjoyed good skiing with fantastic snow conditions. It was good to see friends from previous seasons and meet new families.

The chalet was full for Christmas and New Year with a

 
 lovely, lively family group who even discovered the village ice hockey facilities. We had the traditional turkey dinner, with Sally as a Christmas Tree and Mick as an angel, and a festive New Year with a visit from Father Frost to our Russian
   visitors.  Little Anastasia aged four decided that I was Babushka… January was beautiful with some lovely sunny days. February brought new guests and March and April saw our regular visitors still enjoying some good skiing and boarding.

Congratulations to Tom on passing the final section of the ISIA Stage 2 while he was in New Zealand! He is now a fully qualified International Ski Instructor. This is the top qualification in Ski Instructing. He is spending some time relaxing in the Antipodes after all the hard work before returning to England and then another season in Morgins this winter.

 

 

 Rush waves a paw to all his friends.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Wishing you all the best. Have fun!

Rosie.
