New Years Ski Holiday: La Tzoumaz, Switzerland

View from our balcony as Tzoumaz wakes-up - I mean really.... 

Evening activity - Canasta was a favorite

As if the snow on the hill wasn't enough!

Swiss Miss in our Suisse kitchen - small but had everything we needed

9 people around this table - no problem. 

Toblerone fondue anyone?

We have wonderful neighbors. Not only do they have a nice little girl named Camilla who plays with Anna and Kate for hours, but Monica and Nico are nice, nice people. And we enjoy spending time with them. Since we love to ski, we decided to rent a chalet in La Tzoumaz, a small alpine village that is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area consisting of Verbier, Veysonnaz and Nendaz. It was perfect for us - small, low key and quiet. Our 4 bedroom chalet absorbed our 4 adults and 5 kids. We celebrated New Years with a turkey feast followed by indoor pyrotechnics. Unlike last year, we have been getting tons of snow in the mountains. The kids entered ski school and each did really well, advancing to the next level according to L'ecole Suisse de Ski structure. The ski instructors were great. The skiing was great. The company was great.....the trip was great.
