Winter round up

It is now nearly the end of April and the ski season is over, yet I am getting reports from friends in the Alps telling me that they are currently enjoying the best powder conditions of the winter.

Carbon Offsetting 21/22

It is not the most environmentally friendly set up to be working out of another country, so our little contribution back is to offset all of our carbon emissions produced with our staff travel and the vehicles used in and around resort.
