Skiing holiday booked! :-)

Spring skiing 2009 - Here at our friends house in Boulder, Colorado - truly beautiful scenery

Vail, Colorado
Walking through Vail Village with our (then) 4 month old baby

So we have now finally booked this year's skiing holiday, - 1o whole days, hooray! :-) Last year we went to Colorado, USA, when Sean was only 4 months (and slept most of the journey), and I think I speak for Bear too, that it was one of our highlights since getting together.


However, after discussing back and forth, and speaking to other mums, we have now come to the conclusion that, now that he is older, flying long haul with Sean is simply not worth the hassle!


Nevertheless, I am still ecstatic, as we are going to rent one out of six beautiful ski chalets which form part of a newly renovated, absolutely gorgeous hotel, Le Portetta, in Courchevel in the French alps.
I love the fact that the apartments, located on the top floor of the hotel, are more spacious than the hotel rooms and have a kitchen, living room with fire place and balcony.


It is right on the foot of the nursery slopes at Courchevel (so convenient for me as I do not like walking very far with my ski equipment)


There is also a lovely sun terrace which will be great for lunching on the sunny days and for Apres-Ski. And as you might have read in my previous post, my Mum is flying in from Copenhagen to meet us there and will be Sean's favourite baby sitter whilst Bear and I are skiing :-) Can't wait! Below are some pics from the hotel and apartment where we will stay:

Looks perfect both location and Apartment. The very best Mountain restaurant in Courchevel is just at the top of the lift up from 1650 so you will eat well!

P, N & G: Thanks, you lot! Yes we are very pleased with our choice and no doubt we will have a lovely ski holiday without having to go all the way to America this time :-)
