Skiing in Montchavin

We spent the last week skiing in Montchavin, part of the Paradiski ski arena, of which La Plagne is the most famous resort.

"We" refers to a rather large party, comprising myself and Heike, Liam and Rosalie, my parents, sisters Fiona, Sive, and Davnet plus brothers-in-law and offspring. Additionally our friends Albert and Caitriona Fleming with entourage were staying in accomodation nearby.

Some poorly composed snaps of the people above can be found on my Picasa gallery, including this one of Rosalie and Liam on their sledge:

The skiing was great - more snow than we were expecting haven driven through Switzerland in summer-like temperatures. The creche in Les Coches was a nightmare - it easily rates as the worst childcare facility I have personally experienced.

Below is a video of some of Liam's first skirmishes with snow:
