English Skiing

Thursday, 9th January 2025

Who’d have thought skiing in England could be worthwhile?

A Week of Muppetry in the Three Valleys

Friday, 23rd February 2024

Our customary trip skiing with the Muppets this year was based in the Three Valleys, that largest ski area in the world! We’ve been to the Three Valleys before, back in 2019. But then we were based in the sleepy La Tania. Being a bit sleepy, La Tania was a cheaper option in days-gone-by. Now-a-days …

Avoriaz Skiing with the Muppets

Monday, 13th February 2023

After the poor snow conditions at New Year we were concerned what might await us in Avoriaz for our ski trip with the Muppets… We needn’t have worried so much … loads of snow fell in January, and a week of consistently low temperature (approx -10C throughout the day) ensured our week based in the …

Cheeky Chamonix Ski

Monday, 2nd January 2023

After the Black Forest we swung by Chamonix hoping for a little more snow. Alas, while there was more snow thanks to the higher altitude it wasn’t that great. Especially considering the €54 each lift pass pricing. You might have thought that with such poor conditions they’d have had an offer on?

Skiing and avoiding Covid

Friday, 8th April 2022

We always reckon February is the best month to ski in the Alps … it has perhaps the best chance of fresh powder and soft snow, slightly longer days, and a fair chance of sunshine kissed weather! However, we last skied in France in February 2020, just before the Covid pandemic took the world into …

More skiing – off-piste, touring, and powder bashing…

Thursday, 27th February 2020

After our week in Val d’Isere we went off to Chamonix for a few more ski adventures with our pals Rebecca, Mathias, and Ian…

Val d’Isere & Tignes

Tuesday, 25th February 2020

This year’s muppet – Dave, Dean, John, Laetitia, and Pete – skiing adventure was in Tignes & Val d’Isere! Plus, we were joined by two potential new muppet recruits, Rachel and Andy…

Zermatt

Friday, 19th April 2019

Having failed to get our act together for the Haute Route for all sorts of reasons, and having booked a hotel in Zermatt that wouldn’t let us cancel without full payment (!), we decided to go and ski in Zermatt anyhow. This turned in to quite an exciting prospect as only Dawn out of our …

Chamonix, but no Haute Route for us!

Friday, 19th April 2019

Laetitia and I had planned to do the Haute Route with Ian, Rachel and Andy, and Dawn and Austin several months earlier. However, first Ian had to drop out due to work commitments. Then Austin had to bail because of illness. And now as we arrived in Chamonix Laetitia had caught a wicked flu from …
