With the latest news from the National Air Traffic Services being that flights will remain grounded until at least Tuesday of this week (20th April), many people have found their winter holiday unexpectedly extended.

Now, while we would argue that there are certainly worse places to be stuck, this has undoubtedly caused a lot of disruption to people?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s plans. Fortunately, many of the Chamonix airport transfer companies have come to the rescue by providing coaches and minibuses to ferry terminals such as Calais and Lille, with some companies even going across the Channel to drop people off in Dover and London.

Companies that we know of running such services include:
ChamExpress
Deluxe Transfers
Geneva-Airport-Transfers

These services are being provided according to demand and seats may not be confirmed until the last minute, so please contact them directly to find out where and when they are next travelling.

WOW Chamonix kicked off on Friday afternoon at our HQ, Dynamic Lives, Chalet Varaita, where everyone signed up and received their Below Zero goodie bags and t-shirts. A healthy start to the weekend with yoga in the sunshine, bubbles in the hot tub and Chamofix massages, was followed by a welcome BBQ washed down with beer from the MBC local micro-brewery, DJ Jimbo tunes and a late night tour of Argentiere.

Saturday was a great weather day as we headed up to Grand Montets for morning ski and snowboard clinics with Keiran from Blue Mile Snowsports and Scott freeski team rider Stephanie Parizet. Les Marmottons restaurant hosted our crew of ladies for a hearty Savoyard lunch with some witty banter from the waiters. The afternoon saw us scampering around Grand Montets on a cryptic treasure hunt designed by Annabel to challenge our minds and patience, with a dash for stash under Red Bull cans concealing prize tokens for Oakley goggles and Storm t’s and hoodies .

At the end of the day we couldn’t resist popping back into Les Marmottons for a cheeky beer and to check out local group Bodhizapha’s end of season set. Back at the chalet, the pampering continued with massages from Purefix and a good soak in the hot tub. That evening, the boys at the Office Bar didn’t know what had hit them when 25 members of Women Of Winter walked in and took over the bar. Luckily for everyone, they had a private room ready for us to enjoy a great dinner and wine, chatting and cheering, before testing the barman’s cocktail skills. Paul at the Slalom Bar also excelled in shot making skills, complementary to all the ladies.

Sunday morning saw the survivors head up to la Flegere for a springtime freeride session, but a cold northerly wind came in for the afternoon and lunch at the Rhododendrons was the call of the day. After a little more hot tub and chill out time, The Rusticana was calling. Sven generously donated a tasty buffet for all and allowed us to take over the bar for the the much anticipated closing party. By 6 pm girls and guys alike were fighting to get their last minute raffle tickets and a chance to win some of the amazing prizes on offer. Michel from Michel Sport in Argentiere arrive as a late entry sponsor with more goodies for the raffle and to bring other shop owners in to buy tickets. There was plenty to go around due to the generosity surrounding us and so the novel WOW format of “choose your own prize” was a huge hit.

Amongst the prizes were some hidden gems- a Scott Gore-tex jacket, paragliding flights from Le Tof bar, Scott poles and goggles, a World Sessions Winter Weekend pass, Evolution 2 ski clinics, Mons Royale and Icebreaker merino wool base layers, Oakley and POC goggles, as well as a selection of Storm and Yard t-shirts and hoodies and SueMe Buffs. But the tension had been building for the pinnacle of prizes, 2 pairs of skis, which were crying out for a new home. The Faction Aria skis went to Tara, after a final ‘paper, scissors, rock’ showdown and the Black Diamond Kilowatt skis, donated by the Vert Hotel, were eventually auctioned off after a nail-biting bidding war for 255 euros.

In total over the weekend we raised 1111 euros for our chosen charities, Alpine Initiatives and Breast Cancer Campaign. We were thrilled by the support from local businesses, bars, girls and guys alike and for the encouragement for more of the same in the valley and worldwide. Thank you to everyone who went out of their way to make WOW Chamonix a huge success, in particular a massive cheers to Dynamic Lives for providing us with Chalet Varaita, our HQ for the weekend. Watch out for the next WOW event soon at www.missionwow.org.

Late season snow the last few days has revitalised the slopes and provided plenty of powder to play with for those off piste junkies. Spring skiing is here for those looking for Lastminute Ski Deals to flex those legs before the end of the season.

Even the signs around the valley are designed to be unambiguous for different languages (except maybe top right – no high kicks?). For more images of the valley see Ski Breezy’s Fan Page on Facebook.

The time has come when you can buy a 3 day MBU pass for the price of 2 giving an extra day for free. You may have to work harder to get fresh tracks but the backcountry snowboarding and skiing is definitely open. Choose your accommodation carefully, like Ski Breezy and you can leave your extra kit in the chalet when you head off touring.

The Alps form a vast mountain barrier stretching from Vienna to Nice, dividing German north from Latin south. Misha Glenny tackles our shared European history in a totally unexpected way, exploring the impact of the Alps on our culture, our economy and the formation of eight European states.

Misha travels to Switzerland and France in pursuit of a myth – that it was the British who invented alpine sports. At the launch for the 125th anniversary of the Cresta Run, he discovers that the first British travellers to the Alps were either very rich or very ill. With interviews from Fergus Fleming, Jim Ring – author of How the English Made The Alps, and Swiss hotelier Art Furrer who confirms that, yes, it is all true.

Wednesday 17th March, Grande Montets

Everything is preparing itself nicely for the 2010 edition of the Boss des Bosses. We are just praying for the sunshine now and all will be righteous. The DJs are forming an orderly queue to the left and the teams are lining up on the right. The new Poster’s should be up in resort this week and we have finally managed to update the website, the only thing missing now is the Beer and we are good to go. Looking forward to seeing you all again, look for info in resort for coaches. I will try to get as much info up on here as possible.

Last Year’s Competition

The weather turned warm hailing the beginning of spring and the people came from far and wide in the largest gathering so far. Music was provided by a lot of Chamonix DJ s including Adam, Jimbo, Corin, Joe V, a rare return to the Boss des Bosses by Magnus Asberg and some guys from Paris on the Black Crows ticket. All ’round great Tunes were had.

The course of soft bumps was ripped by all and sundry and the addition of a couple of Kickers in the top section by Plake added a lot of exciting action.

There has been much discussion over the past few years over the wisdom of having a machine built course, One person who was very vocal on the subject was Glen Plake, who this year put his time where his mouth was and spent the week preceding the comp helping out with the course building. I think the result was great, coupled with excellent snow conditions we saw one of the best courses for some time. Adam Johnston and his team put in some great kickers at the bottom and a new profiled landing completed a formula that should be kept for the future.

So many old faces made it back this year to celebrate 20 years of mayhem not least a lot of crew from Verbier who came four coaches strong and dressed in some of the best fancy dress ever seen. We may well be awarding them a posthumous trophy for there efforts. A team strip award should also be mentoined for the “Team Courch” bibs from Courchevel.

The qualifying rounds were fiercely fought and resulted in the same final line up that we are becoming used to of Chamonix and Zermatt. This was slightly controversial as Verbier had won both their heats and beaten Zermatt 7-6 in the heats. However it is cumulative point that puts a team forward and I was forced to stick to the rules even ‘tho this seemed slightly unfair. We will try and let you ski Val d’Isere first next year.

Zermatt beat Chamonix to become the 2009 champions, Verbier beat Meribel 8-5 to become runners up and Val d’Isere beat Courchevel into 5th place.

I would like to thank everybody who helped to make the day such a success especially Jon Trigell for his work on the mic and Phil Martin for his Judge Marshaling. Adam Johnston for all his hard work over the past months, the Dynamic lives BBQ, Jamie from Hip Chalets, Le Vert Shooters bar, Black Crows Ski Test, Extreme energy drinks for their continuing support and MTC, Jacks bar and Freeride in Meribel for making those coaches happen.

If you are thinking of a mountaineering trip this summer, it is time to start planning and preparing yourself physically. Climbing mountains requires a good level of fitness and a strong mind set on adventure!

Our most popular program this summer seams to be the 5-day Mont Blanc course, which means 5 climbing days.
On this course each guide is climbing with a maximum of 2 clients during the whole week. This gives us the option to do more technical and more fun climbs during the acclimatization period. Every day we climb a different summit.
All groups booking with us get their own private mountain guides.

Ability: To have a good chance to reach the summit you need to be a confident mountain walker with a good level of fitness. You do not need to have any previous climbing experience, but if you do, it will be easier for you. The most important is to be very adventurous and to be able to fight.

Best time: The Mont Blanc season starts on the 16th of June and finishes on the 13th of September. During this period all huts and lifts are open, which gives us more route-options, and therefore the best chance to reach the summit. July – August is the warmest period, but June and September can also be very nice.

More info:
- Guided Mont Blanc ascents ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú 5 or 6 day courses.
- Equipment needed to climb Mt Blanc
- Photo gallery from a 5-day Mt Blanc course last summer.

Don’t forget we’re open all day, everyday, serving lunch and snacks from 11am till 6pm (homemade burgers, 9.90 plat du jour, tapas, sandwiches and soups) and our a la carte international fusion menu from 6 till 10pm.

Please call us to reserve your table if you fancy dropping in for dinner (tel: 04 50 91 52 06) as we’ve been bonkers busy and I absolutely hate turning people away unfed and unwatered (turning into my gran!)

Hope you’re all enjoying the child free slopes and adult conversation

See you soon

The debris of children’s food droppings sprinkled on the floor has been swept away and all that is left to show for the madness is a wonderful selection of drawings from ages 3 up, which OF COURSE I’ll be putting up on my fridge! That, or I am considering a Take Hart style gallery ….(although the potential colour overload on a wall of Le Delice does give a colour-coordinating addict like me the heebie-jeebies, I don’t know how you parents cope!)

The new menu’s been going down an absolute treat. The Chinese BBQ pork ribs have created their own following, and we can’t seem to make the rich and tender lambshanks quick enough. If any of you missed the new menu changes, you can peruse it’s delicious details on: http://www.le-delice.eu/

W.O.W is the dreamchild of longtime snomad, Jo Guest. Inspired by the drive and camaraderie she has encountered when riding mountains with ruling ladies all over the world, she organised the first W.O.W event at Mt Olympus, New Zealand, last year (http://wowolympus.wordpress.com)

Lots of chalets like Ski Breezy have changed their booking policies in light of consumer needs and are accommodating guests for completely Flexible Ski Deals. Now you can get away and stay in a beautiful chalet with a cosy, relaxed atmosphere, a short walk from the town centre. Prices include catering with fabulous home cooked food and flowing wine. If you want to take a night off and dine in town thats fine too.

Chamonix is only an hour from Geneva airport and a Transfer Company will pick you up at arrivals and drop you at the chalet door. You no longer even have to traipse into a ski rental shop and queue to hire snowboards or skis, Chamonix Ski will take your booking online and turn up at the chalet for ski fit when you arrive.

This season has also seen the advent of the new Priviledge Cards giving 5% off Mont Blanc Unlimited ski passes for 3 days or more plus loads of other discounts in Chamonix shops, restaurants and bars. Priviledge cards are available at the chalet.

Chamonix short breaks, long weekends and last minute ski holidays have never been as easy.

A couple staying at Ski Breezy commented just yesterday that Chamonix is unlike anywhere they have been before. At first it seemed a bit “disjointed” and “unconnected”. After the third day skiing in a different resort they now love it. “Each resort has a completely different feel to it and there is plenty of terrain in each area to go at for a day.” With the added bonus of Courmayeur and Verbier being included on the MBU Pass you can even ski or snowboard in a different country altogether.

Chamonix is a real town with shops to suit everyone. There are at least 6 exhibitions running through the season, regular ice hockey matches, ski and snowboarding events from slalom competitions to radical off piste freestyle events. Not to mention the Saturday morning market and the roast chicken stall, a must for a piste picnic with olive bread.

So if you think that Chamonix is just for the hard core then think again!

Ski Breezy offers quality catered chalet accommodation. The chalet layout lends itself perfectly for families, groups, couples and individuals. The food is wholesome home cooking accompanied by flowing wine. The sound local knowledge of your hosts, Breezy and Alun, will help you get the most out of your precious holiday no matter how long or short it is or what standard of skier or snowboarder you are.
