No accommodation as stayed at boyfriends place in Megeve.

Cant pray for good wintr skiing yet.... got to get ready for the Alps in boiling hot summer weather.....and its HOT HOT HOT.....the only place in Megeve that was good was the swimming pool.

Not too bad here this summer. Guess I have chilled down from the mad ski till you drop fanatic to "I can happily wait till next season to ski" Being older now I should calm done anyway!!!!
We are most prob going to my partners small studio apartment in Megeve. Reckon he should sell it myself, and change location to a larger 2 bed chalet.....but, hey, pigs will fly!!! lol

We are going there for a week on about 11th July and I have a 10 yr old son who would love to link up with any other young boy going there . We go skiing every winter to Megeve. (French Alps) at least twice, and have now started going for a week or so in the summer hols.
We swim, walk on the mountains, white water rapids, luge ( toboggan as it were on dry runs) etc. However, my son gets a bit lonely and would love a friend.
Do you have children?
I know its not ski chatter, but thought it worth a summer shot (as it were) !!

:lol: :lol:
I should have been on Ooopss TV.
Have been skiing now for over 7 yrs and always negotiated well an easy button lift...as anyone at intermediate level, (or even beginners level) would do; I surprisingly , hilariously made a right chump of myself.!!!
Couldnt believe it.. My Son aged 10yrs ahead of me, obviously let go and got off...
I did wonder where he was for a second, and then suddenly with no sign of that big circulating mechanism above, I assumed it wasnt quite time to come off.
I know i was day dreaming about something and not paying attention. ...hence the mistake.
I went crashing through two alluminium parallel bars , wondering what the hell they were doing there.
I ducked and slid onto my bum, wondering what the heck @!!
Legs in the air skis flapping about !! ha ha lol ! :D
We all laughed our heads off.. :roll:

wow fab snow you had late Easter...lucky you. It looks fantastic...wish we had had so much last week.!
Smashing photos you took.
Tell me, . . .how do you put photos on here ???

Thanks for your iput Guys. I will bare all thoughts and posts in mind. Sadly though my only choice is partners place in Megeve, cant afford anywhere else, so have to pick a good wintry month I think !

Love , love skiing dont get me wrong. However, the amount of snow this late in the season is so poor nowadays. Its got worse and worse in the last 3 yrs.
Got back from France yesterday. Stayed at partners place in Megeve , Haute Savoie region, and had to drive to Les Contamines, Chamonix and round the mountain to Cote 2000 (a Megeve area) to ski.
Megeve itself, totally melted and looked like it was summer already. Last day skiing at Cote 2000 it was like a warm summers day. Chamonix , i must say is an awesome place to ski. Scenery amazing with Mont Blanc in the background.
Next ski trip will be Dec 28th - beg. January ....in great hope of good snow!!
Any thoughts ? ?
