The sun has been out, the nights are getting lighter, our winter staff are all back from the Alps, this can only mean one thing - summer is coming! It's a time to reflect on the season just gone, here are our highlights:

November Clinics - Our returning staff came out early to set up and run our pre-season clinics in Val D'Isere, each day the guests skied under expert tuition from Pat Zimmer and his team on the Grand Motte Glacier in Tignes followed by video feedback in the Pacific Bar and a hearty meal provided by our lovely chalet hosts.
	Staff Training - our eager new staff arrived on the 27th November for Val D'Isere and 4th December for Courchevel & La Tania, they then embarked on a 10 day intensive training programme. The wine tasting session was definitely a staff favourite!!
Christmas & New Year - with one of the slowest starts to the snow season in a long time we were lucky enough to have chosen our resorts with high altitudes so whilst during Christmas week it wasn't possible to ski all the way into La Tania & Courchevel 1650 there was still plenty of skiing to be had across the Three Valleys and Espace Killy ski areas. By New Year's week the snow had arrived in abundance and the season was well and truly underway!
	January - with the snow now well and truly here, guests had a chance to take advantage of some of the new lifts introduced to the Three Valleys area over the summer months. The new Loze chairlift meant a much speedier return from Meribel to La Tania, the super speedy six man Foret chair from Le Praz was a bonus for white-out days as it had a cover and gave good access to all the tree runs around La Tania & Le Praz and finally the new Aguille de fruit lift gave those staying in 1650 a much quicker chair to connect to either Marmottes or Suisse for that link to the other valleys.
February - lots of snow at the start of the month made for some fantastic weeks skiing during February, for once the sun shone on our staff day out in Valmorel See what a great day they had here.
	March - the sun shone and the pistes were in great condition, highlight of the month had to be the Huck Cancer valley rally which saw lots of our staff get involved helping the Huck Cancer Foundation reach a total of over €100,000 raised since it was started in 2008.
April - As the season drew to a close we had easter cake competitons in the chalets - great for afternoon tea that week! The annual rat race in Val D'Isere, charity day in Meribel Village and finished up with the Daily Telegraph reader trip to Val D'Isere. It may not have been an epic season for snow but we were able to ski back to resort right to the end of the season and had some great times along the way - we hope you did too, see you in a Le Ski chalet next season, if you haven't booked already check out our early booking offers here.
