Finally Got Something Sorted

Well, we've finally booked something for this season: two weeks in Morzine, starting on Saturday 27th February. That's just under 4 weeks away, exciting!

This trip has a few 1st's:

  • It's the first time we've left it this late to book...
  • It's the first time we've opted for a catered chalet...
  • It's the first time we've organised something with Ciara's brother...
  • It's the first time we've booked something overlapping with the French school holidays (I think)...

All in all, it should be really interesting. I'm keen to find out what it's like staying in catered accommodation. I'm also keen to see if it's much busier at the end of February; we normally aim for January or March.

The last couple of weeks have been a little bit of a black hole, with much to organise, and not all of it snowboard-related. I still haven't streamed my footage from last season; I normally make it a rule to do so before any snowboarding the following season. In which case, that gives me less than 4 weeks to stream and edit. Hopefully I'll get it done...

Hey,
Where are you staying? It shouldn't be the holidays, we seem to think they end after next week.Give me a call/text when you're up for a drink or two (it would be good to see a different face, getting cabin fever here) or want to ride with some of my friends.

Hey Sue,

we're staying here:
http://www.themountainlodgecompany.com/chaletlocation.html.

It's the Les 4 Vents chalet. I've never been in that area before, but I'm assuming the walk into town won't take too long :)

I'll send you an email 'cos I don't think I've got your number...

Hi Kiwi,

I don't mind you asking :) The accommodation is costing us £840 per person, for two weeks. So, £420 per person per week. That includes meals and stuff. There's a link in the comment above if you want to check it out further...

Was that what you were after, or did you want a break down of the whole two weeks?

Cheers, Gavin
