Blue skies & big beats
The sun is shining, the ski is blue, yes it's flipping cold but it's already starting to feel a bit like spring. Which means only one thing, al fresco apres!

Merry Christmas Chamonix!
What a start to the winter, so much snow! It almost makes getting out and about a bit of a palava, almost... just have to ditch the heels in favour of snow boots!
Chamonix Apres Ski Report: 11th April 2012
End of season madness causes mass outbreak of partying
There's something about this time of year that makes people start panic-partying, as though a sudden halt to the good times is looming on the horizon. I can assure you it's not, Chamonix is officially the town that never stops partying. But don't tell anyone else that, as I'm making the most of all the frenzied end-of-season fun.
Hurray, finally some snow has arrived at last! Thanks to all those who did a little snow dance last week, it paid off. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it keeps coming.
What's on this New year's Eve in Chamonix
What's on where this New Year's Eve in Chamonix
Whilst there are some of us who already have the New Years Eve ‘bah humbug’ and would rather stay in than head to the town centre for the annual fireworks and booze spraying at the stroke of midnight -for the rest of us who want to see 2015 in with a bang there’s plenty to choose from, just get your ticket’s first so you're not left stranded in the square!
Well the good news is the weather is beautiful and we have a wicked weekend of Winter Sessions coming up and a week full of closing parties after that. The bad news is the season really has finished early as Compagnie du Mont Blanc has announced the early closure of parts the Grand Montet. But there are a few lifts still running, get up early make the most of the snow before its mush and then start the après early. Grand Montet has had a great atmosphere over the last couple of weeks with live music, beers and deck chairs in the sun.

Post New Year's Eve and Chamonix is still partying
It is typically that time of year when everyone is giving their wallets and livers a rest after the excesses of Christmas and New Year; not so much in Chamonix though...
With so much going on in Chamonix lately I have been like a kid in a sweet shop, this week as usual I will be filling you in on what were highlights of last week and what to put in your diary for the week coming.
Chamonix Apres-Ski Report: 27 December 2013
The snow might not be spot on yet but you can never go wrong with Apres
The season is now well and truly underway in Chamonix and so is the Apres Ski. No Limits are back in Chambre Neuf again this season and naturally I have been to check it out a few times…
Valentine's Day in Chamonix 2016
Our top ideas on how to celebrate Valentine's Day in Chamonix
How will you be spending this Valentine's Day? Whether you've already met your soul mate or are still in the trying-hard-to-impress stage, we've got a few great suggesions of how you can earn yourself some major brownie points...
On one occasion, I drove some stalwart Chamonix friends to Argentiere for a curry: “Where are you taking us? Italy!!!?” was the horrified reaction, en route… But is night life outside of Chamonix centre really so bad that it should provoke such response? Will you be met by France’s very own version of the ‘League of gentlemen?’ Well, fear not. I can’t promise you’ll be accepted by the *the locals* but there is liveliness to be found in the Chamonix Valley's other villages.
Apres ski at Chambre has been going off this week! Even more so than usual if that is possible. There have been breasts flashed and a completely naked man hoisted high above the crowd – and this was only Sunday! I've never seen anything like it in all my years of après ski in this bar! Needless to say, the crowd have kept coming back for more and it still remains the don't miss après venue for a trip to Chamonix.
I can't believe a whole week has gone by all ready, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and ate lots of turkey! Despite the travel chaos everywhere it seems everyone has still managed to make it to Cham for the New Year, town is heaving and après life is back in full swing.
