I am not a great skier, in fact that is an understatement ... but I am happy to head up a mountain if it means that the family can ski and I can enjoy the sheer cosiness of a mountain chalet. You know, the roaring fire, a pile of good books, mugs of hot chocolate, warm socks, soft music and the occasional excursion for lunch on a ski slope.....
But oh my word, look how ski chalets have changed ..... the traditional french chalet was a lot of wood, gentle fabrics, greenery, red and white cross stitch, reindeer motifs ...
but this year the chic chalet is wearing white, silver, grey and is draping itself in furs and high-tech gadgets ..
Board games are replaced by flat screens, chequered plaids on beds have moved over for fur covers, and there are indoor pools appearing all over, which I suppose puts an end to all that indulging in fondues and waffles .... times are a-changing, that's for sure!
