Let the dog see the rabbit. Finally....Chalet Claire

This morning whilst the chefs had a meeting to discuss all things 'food' the rest of the other hosts attempted to work through further mountain training, that of fitting snow chains.  The intense, immense training rains!  All easier said than done, that goes for the food orders and the snow chains!  Took a good half an hour and that was without the added problem of the car being stuck in a couple of foot of snow. Good to know how though, another life skill for the cv.

At last after 3 days of intense training we were cut loose and left the hotel to move into our chalets. We are the proud hosts of Chalet Claire. Nestled nicely within La Legettaz. Chalet Claire is on the 2nd floor of a huge 4 storey customary alpine appearance building which holds 4 separate chalets.  She sleeps 12 in 6 bedrooms.  Nathan and Samantha, from Oz, are our immediate neighbours. Olly and Josh, from NZ, are below on the first floor and Graham (UK) and Andrew (OZ) are on the ground floor. Graham, Nathan and Olly have done seasons before so are fountains of knowledge in all things chalet (the fanning of cornichons or folding of towels are not a problemo).

Our bedroom is en suite but rather compact and bijou! Don't suppose it matters as on listening to Graham we will either be cooking, cleaning, skiing or out drinking ! Not a bad life we guess.

Todate we are still waiting for the white stuff!
