had to Google that - never heard of it. But I don't like low-cal drinks anyway, so I suspect it won't change my game.  Low cal tonic just ruins the gin, for me.

Driving out on Friday, with or without a turkey. Anyone know where there is a bit of space in a freezer for a few days? Or else it's Carrefour poulet for Christmas lunch

@noggy, we have oodles of space in our freezer in Les Gets but although we only arrive tomorrow, we are off to the States for family visiting on Saturday so we have guests in our chalet over Christmas so not very sociable for them to offer you the space. Really sorry.
@Nadenoodlee, as above - would have loved to otherwise. We are back on the 4th Jan so maybe after that.

Ummm they do have turkies in Grand Frais in Thonon so you may not need to bring a frozen one out

@Nadenoodlee, I'd love to join but don't arrive until the 3rd (hopefully skiing from the 4th). If anyone is around 4-10 Jan and fancies a meet up let me know. I'll post something nearer the time.

@Chattonmill, you might be better off in Northumberland at the moment... we have just arrived at our chalet an hour or so ago - at least I have been able to plod round the garden and inspect what has grown since we were here in September, and it was easy to unload the car!

Next weeks 5 day Xmas ski break in a catered chalet in Morzine was supposed to be a treat for me as it will be our very first Xmas without any of our children Whilst it will be nice for once not to have to think about catering arrangements I fear I am going to be rather bored! I detest skiing in crowded, poor conditions, and have a particular dislike for Avoriaz!

@Pamski, I know, My OH is out at the moment, so if you see Twins doing a strange dance at the Chavannes say Hi!
Normally I would just load up the car and go and find the snow, but by all accounts there is no snow to be found anywhere.
I have got 4 separate weeks booked at the moment, so hopefully I'll hit lucky on at least one of them!

@Chattonmill, will keep an eye out - deeply into sorting out things in the chalet this morning. Nice supper at the Tyrol last night.
You must get lucky with 4 separate weeks. We shall be back in Les Gets from 4th January till 7th Feb so something must go right between those dates.

Sorry, it's L'Outa, the first time we went M Le Patron was wandering around in a string vest. Being that he is slightly over weight the name kinda stuck.
He does know his wines though!
Not been to alt1490exclusif, I will have to look it up. There are so many restaurants it is difficult to get to them all!

So over the Back of Mr Chery and head right at the bottom? I assume it is behind the one on the side of the piste there?

ah yes - we have had some good meals at L'Outa, sometimes a bit chaotic - last summer we were there with friends and we got our main course first and then the starter but as it was Scallops and then Lobster to have them reversed didn't really matter. We often pop into his winebar next door...
We reckon that alt1490 will be a snowshoe job in the winter as its up a track.

Yep, was looking at the access, not one to do with the kids!

Was anyone up on Mt Chery today, was it even open?

Power problem in Les Linderets yesterday so ended up in L'Escapade at the bottom of the Ardent gondola - EUR9 for a plate of overcooked chips  although the fondue was OK. Won't be hurrying back.
Skied Pointe de Nyon to Les Gets today. Lunch at La Pointe de Nyon (bottom of the chairlifts at the top of the cable car) was good but service slow due to being very busy.

Shame about L'Escapade, we had a couple of reasonable lunches there last year when we hadn't intended to eat, then decided to have a drink there and somehow we ended up staying for lunch. I imagine everywhere is heaving this week.

Rather odd question but does anyone know if either the SPAR or Carrefour in Morzine sell tins of pear in syrup?

@Mjit, see if Carrefour online stock them?

@Mjit, highly likely to, tinned fruit in syrup is very common here, it's the tinned fruit in its own juice which is hard to get.

In defence of the Escapade Ardent. My plat du Jour today was delicious. Peppered Steak , frittes with Cauliflour grattin and salad for €12. Hard to beat.

Whoever was asking about milk substitutes the other day.... the Bio section in Intermarche Chatel has both rice and almond milk so I'm guessing it's fairly easily available as this is not the best supermarket I've ever been to!!

@Mjit, the large Carrefour at SJD had pears in syrup in tins this afternoon - lots of gaps on the shelves for other things but they were there.

@Nadenoodlee, no, not yet - I thought it was going to be right on the front de neige and have only been down in the car along that road since our return on Sunday and haven't spotted it - it must be just off there. Its usually eyes on the road along there as all those with 'brains left at home' walk straight out in front of the car - often with small child in tow, or even pushing that out in front to keep the adult safe!

I had the same trouble when finding it- it's on a little side alleyway next to a jewellery/ gift shop - there's a sport 2000 on the corner of rue du centre

@Pamski, It's beside the Creperie des Gets, lovely cafe (creperie is also great)

@MeMyselfandI, thanks, yes often been to the Creperie, particularly good with grandchildren...
We have just got back from a few hours on MC- our private mountain today for nearly the whole time, narrow at the bottom of Marmotte cutting over to the bottom of the black but fine, there were five pisteurs working on that last bit of the red with shovels and then they all came into the Chanterelle - so 3 pairs of skis each with a shovel and two boards with their shovels piled up with our skis outside. The liftie lady from Chery Nord along with the woman who runs the little snack bar down there had their chairs out in the sun and just go up each time we went round.
Finished off with a glass if vino in the GO.
Lievre run fine, if half sized on the last bend.
Sun out, blue skies, and the mayor and prefecture and powers that be lunching at the GO tomorrow so we/they may hear a little more to stoke the rumour mill re new lift, underground car park etc etc.

Talk to the Owners of the GO if you want an update on the new lift and postes.
Two new pistes on the Mt Chery side, linking in with the Perrieres making it possible to do a loop, new lift is from the school to the plateau on Mt Chery.
All planned to be open from 2017.
