Winter Season a resounding success

Finally our winter season has come to a close, although the snow continues to fall up on the slopes. It has been one of the best years for snowfall in years and those still in the resort are enjoying empty slopes with unseasonable amounts of fresh powder. The slopes are going to close this weekend with a base of almost 2 meters of snow still about 200 meters. Chances are that conditions will be fantastic for the start of the Summer Skiing in June. We couldn't have asked for a better first season. 13 weeks of happy guests and plenty of bookings for the summer already. All the renovations to the Chalet have generally held up well, with only the usual ware and tare to be taken care of.

We are now cracking on with the next stage of renovations, generally concentrating on the outside of the building. Today our landscaper arrived with heavy machinery to construct a retaining rock garden to neaten up and secure the car park. He will then address our flooding problems in front of the property by installing underground drains and finishing with a gravel driveway. He is also delivering loads of top soil, to we can tidy up around the decking with a lawn. I have started to landscape other areas of the garden and have created more space for a lawn and raised flower beds. Fingers crossed, the garden will be in full bloom for the first guests and for our wedding in May.
