christmas in morzine

a late night out at the black bull is not the best start to an early morning flight from edinburgh to geneva  but hey im starting my holiday ! so an 04;00 rise after just over an hours sleep to get booked in for my 06;30 take off was a bit silly ! i slept the whole easy jet flight over and had some breakfast oin geneva airport then met some of my fellow holiday makers /ski buddies at the airport transfer desk only a 1.5 hr journey from the airport to morzine was so we were settled in the chalet having cake and coffee before midday , 
     the big problem was theres no snow ! its sunday the 21st of december and nearly all our area of the alps has no snow ,only avoriaz becaus e of its hight has snow .So the ticket office were restricting ski passes to people staying in avoriaz and morzine only ! which we should be gratefull as we were more fortunate than the skiers staying in le get because they werent being allowed ski passes !so no ski`in for them at all ,we got a two day pass for avoriaz ski area 
      the chalet was really nice though i was very fortunate and i have an excellent room with a fantastic view over the valley  theres aq hot tub and a sauna and we are getting well looked after . when i say we i should explain that as i was heading of to the alps alone for xmas i done a search through the web , and decided to book through a company called pistepals so there was 3 more people like myself on the airport transfer bus mick tracey and thelma and we were the first to arrive at the chalet next to arrive was anna then at dinner time dave matt and gerry then late on at night anne arrived , we have james and marina looking after us in the chalet and they are doing a fantastic job the food and cake service beers and wiine etc are excellent and we are all looked after for transfer to the slopes and local info 
     another problem is ive forgot my toilet bag left it out to put my toothbrush in it in the morning , but forgot to put it in my case another good reason not to have a big night out at the bull before going on holiday , but thanks jen for the lift to the airport as there was no way cammy was gettinng up at 04;00 to take his dad to the airport
