All of a sudden it feels as if Morzine is closed.  Last week was the week of closing events with the restaurants, bars, and even the slopes themselves having closing parties.  There was everything from hog roasts, to 80s and 90s discos, bands, and just free drinks.  We took part in some, but there were […]

It is definitely the end of the season.  Today, we are sitting here in 24 degrees of heat with brilliant sunshine and the snow is disappearing fast.  Having said that we skied our 76th, and probably last, day yesterday and had excellent snow until lunchtime.  It was so good in fact that our friend, Lucien, […]

We’re going green – well almost.  Spring is definitely on the way and there has been plenty of sun and rain.  This means that unfortunately in Morzine we have lost the snow and it has turned green.  It still looks beautiful, but is is not as beautiful as when the white stuff is around.  Then […]

The last week has been turning into a bit of a party as bands and festivals come to the slopes, and we make the most of the sun that we have. Firstly we went with our local friend Jay on one of our “free” days in another resort.  In bright sunshine we went to Morillons, […]

It is starting to look a bit like Spring at the moment.  It has been reasonably warm, with some rain, and that is beginning to make some of the snow disappear on the lower levels and in the village.  Having said that, the snow conditions are pretty good; and we have only had one or […]

Obviously we have spent most of the time in Morzine, but we have had three excursions in the three months we’ve been here. Firstly, we had a mini-European tour early in February.  We flew to Berlin to meet Rhodri and Richard and partake in the usual bars in the area.  Although Tim was quite rough […]

After a quiet December we have had various people to stay in Morzine. Steve and Jill came over New Year.  The weather was very mixed with everything from sun to snow and rain.  Although a short stay we did get a couple of days skiing, in between shopping and eating!! The next group was larger […]

So I guess we can say that we are proper seasonaires now! We have now been here for ten weeks – which seems amazing. In that time we have had sun, rain, wind and of course snow. The time has gone quickly and has been highly enjoyable: and our lives back in the UK seem […]

Apologies for being lax in not posting any blogs recently – it’s amazing how little time you get to yourselves when you’re not working and skiing is a priority. Anyway this is the first of a series of blogs to update everyone as to what we have both been up to in the last month. […]

Since we last posted anything, we have had Christmas and New Year and a few visitors.  The weather has been fairly good to date, and we have picked our times when best to go out.  All in all we went out on fourteen days in December – though these ranged from a quick two hours […]
