Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The rain has wiped out the majority of the snow that fell in the village last week Sad Sad . But the man made stuff is piled up like a good-un Smile The temperature has dropped dramatically today with a very cold wind, its just staring to cloud over so fingers crossed for a few drops of la Neige Very Happy

We have a new happy hour venue peeps Very Happy ...I popped by the shop to find out when I start work, and Stef told me that Guillaume in 50s will be doing HH from 4-6pm. Vanessa is confined to bed on doctors orders until the baby is born (March), so Gs in charge and he's got about 5 staff I think (3 in the kitchen & 2 front of house).

Exellent web cam. Now we can see right arcoss the Paradiski to plan our days out. I do agree, we need some more snow now, but at least there was a dusting last night and blue sky all day long. Our lifts open tomorrow, will your link be open. Or can you bus it to La Plagne side and ski down to get back?

It is cold here. Brrr... Blue skies but bitterly cold. Blue
Walked across the piste to get lift passes today and we need more snow in the village. The grass is still poking through the Jardin des Enfants and the stones are showing through at the bottom of the piste, so you wouldn't want to put skis on. But it is forecast tonight, so fingers crossed.
Latest update on Happy Hour - Vanessa has confirmed 16h30 to 18h00 in Fiftys Very Happy - she's not working at all as bedrest until the baby is born.
The new owners in the Abreuvoir had menus out on the tables on the decking today Puzzled , so they're keen given that 1) The resort isn't even open yet & 2) It's too blimmin' cold to sit outside.
Met Heather from Massage Me today at Chalet Genepy, who will be available to book for massages during the season, she'll come to Monty if you book at least an hour, so if several people book for the same day it makes more sense. You can get her number from me or cockofthenorth.

Finally it has snowed!!! snowHead snowHead At least 1 ft has fallen. Lard had to put snow chains on to get out of our road to go and do our first transfer of the season this morning!! Now the season can begin Very Happy

As an aside, had a lovely meal in L'Abreuvoir last night with cockofthenorth and his good lady wife. It's not your traditional savoyarde fayre, I had duck with a cranberry & honey sauce and the others had entrecote with green pepper sauce. The biggest entrecotes we had ever seen!! Beautiful presentation & lovely veggies - not a chip in sight!! And a great wine menu - not just the normal savoie wines (which I can't stand).
They're doing a set menu for Christmas Eve 57€pp but it sounds amazing - glass of champagne to start, cold starter of gizzard starter, then warm starter of St.Jacques scallops, champagne sauce & smoked salmon, then guinea fowl, then a digestif (calvados with a scoop of apple ice cream) to cleanse the palette before a pudding of chocolate encased in flaky pastry.

Geneva has thankfully reopened in the last hour, but none of the roads to Annecy had been cleared so Lard's journey to our first pick up has been slow. Fortunately the flight has been delayed, so they might both get to Geneva at the same time. Like cockofthenorth says, tomorrow could be hideous!
