blizt, This may sound like a daft question, but what do you get up to on Christmas Day? I know the lifts are open so you can get your snow fix, But what about the rest of the day?...is it just like any other day? or do the Chalet hosts put something special on?...I imagine they'd want to do as little as possible on Christmas day?

joydivision, why? We all work Christmas day just like any other!  I know I'm not a chalet host, but most of them make MORE effort AFAIK

joydivision, what chalet hosts want and what they have to do are two different things.  TO-run chalets do Chrizbit dinner, mince pies etc etc as usual.

easiski, Yeah I suppose, I just find it hard getting my head around having to work, let alone work harder on Christmas Day! I guess it makes sense for them to make that extra effort as they can charge more!
blizt, Thanks for the info, That sounds like a great way to spend Christmas, I've never thought about going away for Xmas before, but being Self-Employed, taking holiday costs me money, and I may as well extend my enforced two days holiday to a week!...I think some more research is in order!
Lizzard,

joydivision, if "more research" means you're considering this Christmas there are still some good prices for Ryanair & Easyjet flights from UK to Grenoble e.g. from East Mids, Birmingham & Bristol inclduing some Ryanair ones that were "just" charging taxes & baggage when I looked earlier (probably from some other airports too but I've booked our flights so prefer not to look any more to see if I could have got them cheaper!!!)

joydivision,We like to think of Christmas as hosting a dinner party for friends, and certainly not doing as little work as possible as suggested in one of the earlier comments. This is a way of life, not a job for us.

scubaski, I'm still in the UK! Back late next Thursady - pop in for a coffee/glass of wine when you're tired of the building work.

Sounds good. I'm pondering. Great resort too.
Seriously interested, loving the idea of skiing on Christmas day.

blitz, the snow has gone in the resort now, but it looks as if a good layer has been put down above around 2,200 metres. The snow dance won't hurt though. Is there a strictly come snowdancing tv show? If there is, we'll watch out for you.

I received PM. I'm liking the idea.
After last year I really want to ski as much as possible this year. I had a really good time and my skiing really came on. I'd call myself a decent intermediate skier - ie: will hammer down any pisted run and starting to enjoy off piste if the conditions are right.
So the daily plan is: breakfast,ski, last lift back, eat, beer, sleep.
I'm going to consider the dates etc.

Too much fun.
I'm having a bit of a ponder about dates at the moment, since I don't have any holiday left before Christmas. ie:
My holidays start at lunch time on 24th Dec.

I've had a think, and I'm going to have to take the 27th Dec - 3rd Jan, so can't make this. Pity, because it looks like it would have been ace.

Hello all,
I have booked with Pete and Lynn and cant wait. I will be there for two weeks from the 13th to the 27th.
easiski, Can you do lessons? Or if not you recommend anyone that can?
It would be great to meet up with any snowheads that are there at that time.
Looks like it will be a fantastic christmas.
