I wanted to say thanks for our stay - we really enjoyed the chalet - I also wanted to ask you to pass on our thanks to Paul, Lorraine and Steve. I have never had such accurate weather forecasting, or such good knowledge of conditions and the slopes - it made a big difference to our stay - Paul steered us well in our daily route planning. The food was delicious, Paul and Lorraine were excellent hosts and overall our experience was very very good. We had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, please pass on our thanks to the team.
Katie Maitland, Chalet Eagel´s Nest, Apr 10

Dear Laura. Last year I ventured onto my first ski vacation for 10 years to your Chalet Marigold in Sainte Foy. Paul, Lorraine and Steve really made the holiday for me. I was so impressed by their calm yet so friendly, helpful and superbly capable manner in everything we asked for. Needless to say, my skiing did not improve after their amazing culinary skills and wine cellar management! Laying on a beach in July last year I received a message asking whether I wanted to participate in another ski holiday in March 2010. Agreeing to go skiing whilst lapping up the sunshine and perhaps being a little too hot seemed appealing so I immediately agreed to go (probably the wine with lunch that convinced me!). I knew absolutely nothing about the resort or chalet - just that it was another SnowCrazy vacation. Now since my skiing is by no means ´brilliant´ I decided this was the ´make or break´ ski holiday. I did not really even bother to check it out until a few weeks prior to our visit. The Chalet looked fab, it would be good to see my fellow skiers again (even though they are so much better than me) and I knew Snowcrazy would look after us. What an absolutely wonderful surprise to find Steve met us from the airport - in his usual patient, reassuringly yet quietly in control, friendly, helpful and smiley way. We were all delighted to see him and to receive such a lovely welcome. We then heard that Paul, Lorraine and Steve were running our Chalet. It was such a delight - it felt like we were returning home to our friends. They gave us a fantastic welcome and the accommodation was amazingly clean and immaculate. The superb culinary and wine cellar skills shone through again throughout the whole week and generally they made the holiday what a tremendous success it proved to be. I cannot thank them enough for making our holiday so absolutely fantastic. The only slight negative of the whole week was the temperature - and there is no way on earth we can blame this on them! Having said this, the sun shone and 95% of the time it was perfect ski weather.

I would like you to pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to the Eagles Nest Team. They are fantastic and I hope they remain with you for years. Do please let me know which Chalet they may be at next year. I did say this was my ´make or break´ holiday and it certainly was a ´make´. I will be back! Thanks so much for making this holiday possible. Best wishes.
Sue Rout, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Mar 10

Hi Laura, Just to say I had a most memorable stay in Les Arcs on "Paddy´s Week". Beautiful Chalet, beautiful food, and Lorraine Paul and Steve could not have been better. Many Thanks.
Peggy Stringer, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Mar 10

Dear Laura and Mike, Just a short note to thank you for another fabulous holiday with Snow Crazy. We all had a great time and genuinally haven´t laughed so much for ages. It was a bonus to have such a friendly and excellent chef in Denam and just a nice all round guy to boot. Please pass on my thanks to him. Whenever we bumped in to any of your other staff they couldn’t of been friendlier which again just makes the holiday a bit more special. I think I have personally found the perfect week and with all things being equal will book up again next year but will try a different chalet if possible. Thank you again and speak soon.
Julien Hubbard, Chalet Chocard, Mar 10

Dear Laura, I need to let you know what a fabulous time we had last week at Eagle´s Nest. Paul, Lorraine and Steve were outstanding hosts, cooks, ski guides; you name it. It seemed like the answer to every question was always ´yes´ or ´no problem´. I´m ready to come back to whatever Chalet they run. Highest compliments to Snowcrazy and your staff! Yours most satisfied
Mike Doyle, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Mar 10

Dear Mike and Laura, This was our third holiday with you in less than 15 months and I have a complaint to make; I am beginning to run out of superlatives to describe the experience. Lorraine, Paul and Steve give exceptional performances on how to make a week in the mountains perfect. They greet us, look after us and wave us goodbye with charm, sincerity and exceptional good humor as well being the consummate ski guides and hosts. At the risk of damaging your viral marketing campaign, I am only going to tell people I REALLY like Snowcrazy and your team in particular. If the Song Remains the Same, and I am sure it will, I can assure you we´ll be Bach for more. Regards.
Michael, Therese, Peter and Hannah, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Mar 10

Dear Mike & Laura. Just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you to you and all the SnowCrazy team in Sainte Foy for a fantastic week last week. Chalet Marigold was wonderful and the team there Elena, Steve, Claire & Steve (2) were fantastic. We were made to feel very relaxed and comfortable and the food cooked for us each day and Elena’s cakes were fabulous. The team were always on hand for any information or help that we needed and the ski safari days were excellent. We didn´t have the best start to our holiday with our flight being diverted, but we have to say a big thank you to you and all the team in Chalet Marigold for going out of your way and everything you did for us on that transfer day. A superb holiday and highly recommended.
Judith & Darren Randall, Chalet Marigold, Mar 10

Firstly thanks for a really good holiday---despite the accident it was still enjoyable. The staff being more mature and more dedicated than many chalets made a difference –we have done more than 30 chalet holidays. The ski guiding by Steve(s) was outstanding.
Paul and Judith Jackson, Chalet Marigold, Feb 10

Sorry for slow thank you´s...but just wanted to thank you again for a great week. We really enjoyed it, food was great and just a really nice relaxed atmosphere. A good break for our working men and for us very hard working but a bit bored with wiltshire life mothers.
The Flann´s and Glover´s, Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 10

Hi Mike, just an email to say a big thank you for a fabulous holiday last week in Chalet Chantelauze! The chalet was amazing and it´s the best chalet i´ve ever stayed in. The food was out of this world. All the lads were great and really looked after us well. Ski hosting was great to as never had that before in any chalet. I would recommend the Snowcrazy chalet to other people to. Thank you once again.
Sarah Mcloughlin, Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 10

Just a big thank you from all off us for a fantastic ski holiday during January 2010. We thoroughly enjoyed it and is one of the highlight of the year. You all are such fantastic hosts and all your efforts was well appreciated! Paul, Lorraine and Steve thank you! We could recommed this ski chalet to anyone! A definete must! We will be back! Greetings from us all!
Karien Loots, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Feb 10

We returned from Chalet Marigold last Sunday (28th Feb)...and having just read the other guest comments, would like to echo absolutely those of Tim Hill (Jan 10th). Everything was superb and so enjoyable! A big THANK YOU, we hope to come again!
Sheena Read, Chalet Marigold, Feb 10

This was our second year in Chalet Chantelauze and we were delighted once again. Tony, Murray and Chris were a fantastic team keeping the chalet and the buses running and delivering a superb 5 course meal every night. They were very friendly and approachable, nothing was too much trouble. The chalet is stunning and very spacious so the children can just go off and play leaving the parents to have an apres ski snooze. Ski hire is kept in the basement so no trudging to the crowded ski shop. We would definitely recommend Snowcrazy for a luxury, hassle-free skiing holiday.
Helen Laws, Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 10

I just wanted to say that we had an absolutely amazing time in the chalet last week. I´ve been on alot of ski holidays and I can honestly say that this was the best by far. The hospitality and luxury of the chalet along with the fantastic staff, Tony, Murray and Chris made the holiday unforgetable. They are a real asset to the company.
Gill White, Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 10

I just wanted to say that you and your team are all great; I had such a fantastic time in Chantelauze last week!! I´ll definitely be seeing you again next year :-)
David Webster, Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 10

Dear Laura and Mike. Just a quick email to thank you for a wonderful holiday at La Rosiere in Chalet Chocard. Yes the snow was wonderful and the company fantastic but what really made our week was the absolute lack of any stress from being picked up at Chambery to being delivered back to the airport at the end of the week. Everyone was wonderful – the chalet was beautiful, the food lovely with flexibility for our children to eat early or with us. We loved La Rosiere but the service you provided took our holiday from good to great.
Alison and Adrian Millman, Chalet Chocard, Feb 10

Dear Paul, Lorraine and Steve, Thankyou for hosting us on a wonderful holiday. The cooking was delicious and the hospitality great. It was a memeorable holiday. All the best for the rest of the season.
Alan & Heidi Wrigglesworth, Chalet Eagles Nest, Feb 10

We had a wonderful holiday and both the chalet and the resort were excellent so a big thank you to you and your team. I can’t decide whether to recommend Sainte Foy to friends or say nothing and keep it as our little secret!!
Mark Wiseman, Chalet Marigold, Jan 10

I would like to thank you, Paul, Lorriane and Steve for a fanatastic holiday. It was truly the best ski holiday ever. The facilities were fantastic and the service impecable. Paul, Lorraine and Steve are real gems.
Peter Barbic, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Jan 10

I would just like to say what a superb week Sandra and I had, many thanks to Steve, Helena, Steve and Claire. The accommodation and the hospitality was excellent.
Doreen Coyle, Chalet Marigold, Jan 10

Thanks for an awesome week in the Eagle´s Nest chalet. We had so much fun. The food was superb, the chalet was 5 star, clean and well managed.
Anina Botha, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Jan 2010

Dear Mike & Laura, Just a quick note to thank you and all the SnowCrazy team in Sainte Foy for a fantastic week last week. Chalet Marigold is superb - wonderfully appointed, spacious, clean and warm. The welcome from the team there – Elena, Steve, Claire & Colin (sorry Steve 2) is as warm as the chalet. The guys and girls were always friendly and on hand to help with any issues that we had. The food was fantastic – Elena really is a great chef and, once again, our vegetarians were treated to thoughtful and tasty meals. The team in St Foy are a credit to your organisation and the “ethics and values” of your company. Thank the guys and girls again on our behalf for joining in the Timmy Tour fun – SnowCrazy winning the hat on 3 of the 6 nights shows the level on integration we all achieved and the laughs we shared. Take care both of you and enjoy the rest of the season.
Tim Hill, Timmy Tours, Chalet Marigold, Jan 10

Hi Laura, I just wanted to say thank you to you, Mike and all the guys in the chalet for a fantastic week last week. I can honestly say that I felt more looked after than I’ve ever felt on a holiday and it made all the difference. Hopefully we’ll be able to make it back over some time soon but in the meantime I’m recommending you to all my pals. Thank you very much and best wishes for the future of Snowcrazy.
Sue Robertson, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2010

You have a wonderful chalet and the boys - Chris, Tony and Murray work like a well-oiled machine! David and I had a fabulous week, great accomodation, great weather, superb hosts and delicious food! We will be back.
Lesley & David, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2010

On behalf of Simon and myself – can I say a huge thank you to you & Mike for all your hard work in making our holiday seamless and so relaxing and enjoyable. We really did appreciate all the running around and pandering to our needs. The chalet was a delight, the staff, (particularly Elena) were great and Ste Foy is indeed a gem in the crown of the Haute Savoie region!
Andy Kress, Chalet Marigold, Jan 2010

Mike and Laura, Fantastic chalet! Everyone couldn´t have been more welcoming and attentive. The accomodation and food was really great. The boys are such a great extension of the personality and values of Snowcrazy. Brilliant snow, brilliant everything!
Dana & Sue, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2010

Thank you all for a fantastic holiday! Couldn´t believe how organised, kind an accomodating you all are and just a lovely bunch of people.
Ben & Louise, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2010

Tom and I had a great time in Ste. Foy last week. As with our holiday to La Rosiere last year, we really enjoyed the Snowcrazy experience! We were very pleasantly surprised by the Ste. Foy ski area. We hadn´t expected it to be as extensive as it was and really enjoyed all of the runs, which were quiet, long and scenic. This was topped off by great snow and beautiful weather - perfect! We also had a fantastic time on the Ski Safari days to Val d´Isere/Tignes and Les Arcs with Mike, so thank you again from us. The Chalet Hosts, Elena and Steve were lovely and looked after us very well; we just have to work off Elena´s afternoon cakes now!
Tom and Alex Meir, Chalet Marigold, Jan 2010

Just wanted to let you know we had a great time last week. We were so well looked after and I think everyone went well beyond what was required to make sure we had a good time. The Chantelauze team are great and hope you´ll pass on this thanks to them.
Mandy & Mark, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2010

We just wanted to say thank you for making our skiing holiday in Chocard such a memorable one. Shelagh and Richard gave us fantastic food every night and the atmosphere in the chalet was lovely. Steve was endlessly good humoured, and the rest of the Snowcrazy staff seem equally as efficient and amenable. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Definitely one of nicest Christmases. The standard of service all round was exemplary, and we are all keen to return again. It was so nice not to have to queue in the hire shop or the lift pass office. We thought the holiday was good value for money!
The Bilton Family, Chalet Chocard, Christmas week 2009

Thanks very much for everything. We had a wonderful time and very much hope to repeat soon. Paul, Lorraine and Steve make a wonderful team. We were looked after superbly and could not have hoped for more delightful company during the week. With best wishes from Sue and me,
Tony, Chalet Eagle´s Nest, Christmas week 2009

Winter Season 2008-2009 Chalet Chantelauze, Renard, Chocard and Marigold

After such a fabulous week at Chalet Marigold, we´ve all taken quite a few days to get back to reality...! You may read that Sainte Foy is described as ´The Jewel in the Crown´ but the real gems are Paul, Lorraine, John and Steve!!! Please, please pass on our thanks to Team Marigold for making our stay so comfortable, fun and for thoroughly spoiling us! We were made so welcome..., we were made to feel as if the Chalet was our own and nothing was too much trouble. Our week could not have been better - a beautiful resort, great novice skiing as well as plenty more challenging pistes..., fantastic food and wine all week, discreet courteous service, spotless chalet, glorious sunshine, much needed hot tub and made some great new friends! We´ve certainly all come back very refreshed and looking much healthier with glowing suntans - long may it last! Thanks to everyone for helping to make our family holiday such a great success and we would never hesitate to recommend a Snowcrazy Chalet experience to all our friends and family! With very best wishes to you all!
Sue, Kevin, Anna and Ed Byass, Chalet Marigold, April 09

Just to say thanks for yet another fantastic holiday. Loved Chalet Chantelauze..... The Jacuzzi bath and the garden swing on the balcony was a perfect sun trap in the late afternoon and the views spectacular. Tony and Lisa were great chalet hosts and the food wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and Chris was fantastic with our own private transfer to the slopes every day. The ski fitting service couldn’t have been easier…sat comfy in the lounge whilst sipping champagne! Need I say more other than thank you Mike for a great day ski hosting in Italy and for help improving Lydia’s skiing where others have failed!! We had a brilliant time with a great bunch of people and hope to return again some day.
Tracy, Christopher and Lydia Jones from Nottingham, Chalet Chantelauze, April 09

Ode to Chalet Renard
There once was a chalet host called Murray
Who never did things in a hurry
His cooking was fine
He ensured plenty of wine
Great dinner on time - no worry!

Jason was Murray´s good mate
Who ensured the ski-bus was never late
He loaded our skis
He was the bee´s knee´s
And kept Murray on the narrow and straight!

The hot tub at Chalet Renard
Best view in the Haute Savoyarde
After a day on the slopes
It massaged our ropes
And ensured our legs were not hard!

This week´s guests included Ali & Steve
Who came from Kent from work for a reprieve
The snow and the sun
We had such great fun
And now we don´t want to leave!

Ali and Steve, Chalet Renard, March 2009

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for a super holiday. Chris, Tony and Lisa were all great and fantastic with the children which made it even better for us. Food was superb and the chalet was spot on. It really was a special holiday so please pass our thanks onto everyone for us.
Joanne Flann, Chalet Chantelauze, March 09

Finally got round to dropping you an email to thank you for another wonderful holiday with Snowcrazy. I would like to re-iterate all the positive comments you have already received about your Team at Chalet Marigold. Loved the chalet, wonderful location, great snow conditions during our stay, which all attributed to a fantastic time. But it´s the team you have there that is the icing on the cake. Providing everyone with great food, good service, everything we needed to relax and enjoy our holiday.
Alison Pope, Chalet Marigold, March 09

I have been meaning to write to you every since our wonderful holiday in Ste Foy back in March. Obviously it has taken over a month for me to reconcile myself to The Real World... a World in which I have to make my own porridge in the morning - as well as make my own bed, where there is no cake for tea, where nobody lights a roaring log fire when the sun goes down and there is no sparkling glass of kir every evening before a fabulous 4-course, candle-lit dinner. This Real World also lacks metre-deep dumps of the finest powder snow, empty pistes and leisurely lunches on a sunny terrace with a fine view of the mountains - and it is far too busy and crowded. Please thank Lorraine for producing such well-planned and truly scrumptious dairy-free meals for me (I had a totally migraine-free week), Paul for his great hospitality, John for some of the best skiing days Alastair and I have had for many a year and Steve for all his behind-the-scenes hard work. They are a great team.
Suzy Kilgour, Chalet Marigold, March 09

Hi Laura and Mike, just to let you know that we had a fab week at the resort last week. The weather was great, the chalet lovely and the food absolutely gorgeous! We were really lucky to have some nice people to share the chalet with. The hosts did everything to make our stay an enjoyable one and Greg and I can´t wait until the new year to come back!!
Julie, Lucy and Greg Taylor, Chalet Chantelauze, March 2009

I just wanted to say a huge well done to the team there – Paul and Lorraine were the best hosts ever, Steve was caring organized and watchful to make sure everything went well – the strong silent type and John was great fun a super all rounder and great ski host. If you had them together as a team again – I would definitely recommend them to the world! And I would come back again for sure.
Angie Court, Chalet Marigold, March 2009

If I was someone who recommends chalets I would vote this one 5 stars. Murray´s cooking is legend. It brakes my heart that I have to go but then again I miss my mum.
Finley, Chalet Renard, March 2009

Thank you for such a great holiday - Paul, Lorraine, John and Steve were absolutely brilliant during the whole week - They managed to strike a perfect balance between genuine warmth and friendliness and outstanding service - it was a real honour to spend time with them at the chalet. On top of that, we were blessed with the best snowfall in years! The chalet was also so much more up and together compared to previous years, and that made a big difference.
Dan Delor, Chalet Marigold, Feb 2009

Just a quick note to say ´thanks´ for helping us to plan our holiday at Chalet Belleface. We were delighted with the apartment and had a fab week. We will certainly consider Belleface again and will happily recommend you to friends.
Tony Stanton, Chalet Belleface, Feb 2009

Absolutely brilliant time here. Everything´s been brilliant. From the hot tub to the cakes to the skiing to the chilling back at the chalet, I´ve loved it here! Chalet hosts were superb. The skiing runs in La Rosiere are brilliant and so much more challenging than previous holidays. This is the third time I´ve been skiing and it has been by far the best holiday ever.
Callum, Chalet Renard, Feb 2009

Laura- just a quick line to say what a great time we had and how well we were looked after by Paul, Lorraine, John and Steve - real assets and a credit to your company. I understand Paul and Lorraine may be working for you next season and we look forward to finding out at which resort/chalet as we would be interested in booking with you again!
Ian Ward, Chalet Marigold, Feb 2009

Hi Laura, Mike, Tony, Lisa, Chris and Ryan. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for our wonderful holiday at Chalet Chantelauze last week! We really were delighted. As you know it was our first skiing holiday with Lucy and George...and it was a real dilemma initially finding the right company to look after all our needs - and you surpassed expectation! We knew if the kids were happy we´d be happy and you helped make this happen. Thanks Laura for all the ´tooing and froing´ between ski school and activity club to ensure everything was smoothly negotiated for L and G - they were more than happy and definitely did not want to come home! Tony and Lisa - thanks for the really excellent hospitality (especially the chocolate stuff!) and your sensitive attention of the kids! Chris thanks for all the transfers and patience whilst getting all four of us out of the door in a morning - you really did seem to be at our beck and call and made not staying in a ski in/out chalet really very easy! Ryan - great skis and wonderful hot tub - thank you! Mike - thanks for the jokes!!!! Hopefully you´ll all have a fab´ rest of the season and we may see you next year!? Or again this year if Trev gets his way! Love to all.
Donna, Trevor, Lucy and George (Fuller), Chalet Chantelauze, Feb 2009

The food was great, the hot tub was great, the transport to and from the slopes was great, basically it was all great!!!
Alex, Chalet Renard, Feb 2009

This has been the most enjoyable skiing holiday so far in my life. Thanks.
Ella, Chalet Renard, Feb 2009

Hi Laura, we´ve been back for a week now.... but still great memories of a fab few days in Chalet Marigold. On behalf of the 6 of us that were in Chalet Marigold, I just wanted to say how good Paul, Lorraine, John & Steve were.... they really looked after us without making a fuss..... we all enjoyed their company too ....
Matthew Brearly, Chalet Marigold, Feb 2009

Dear Paul & Lorraine. We had a fabulous time with you. Thank you so much for all your hard work which was greatly appreciated. Delicious and imaginative food, warm atmosphere and nothing seemed too much trouble. Our thanks to John and Steve for great guiding. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay, but particularly with you at Marigold.
Mark & Kate Ransom, Chalet Marigold, Jan 2009

Thank you so much for making our ski trip full of happy memories. Really enjoyed the excellent food, brilliant ski hosting service and general banter around the chalet. You´ve been very patient with our children and we´ve appreciated the little things like loading our skis on the bus. ´Be carefoool´ (as they say on the slopes!)
Ruth, Owain & Alys, Chalet Renard, Jan 2009

Thank you both for a fantastic holiday. Prior to the holiday we read the descriptions, viewed the pictures on your website and formed an impression. We´d have been fortunate if reality had matched our expectations; amazingly it surpassed them. The food and the company made Chalet Renard truly a home from home. La Rosiere was perfect for 5 people with varying degrees of skiing/snowboarding experience. I´m grateful that you persuaded Alison to come with us to La Thuile; it topped off a spectacular holiday. We´re already talking about a return visit and we´ve only been back a week.
Robin, Alison, Paul, Michele & Wez, Chalet Renard, Jan 2009

Hi Laura, Kate and I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much we both enjoyed our week in La Rosiere. The weather, skiing conditions and chalet were great but what really made our stay memorable was the first class service we received from Tony, Lisa, Chris and Ryan. The food was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and we were always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. They are a credit to Snowcrazy. We look forward to coming back some day.....hopefully soon! Thanks again to you all.
Best wishes, Chris & Kate, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2009

Hi Laura, We had a great week in Chalet Chantelauze last week. Tony and Lisa were both excellent hosts, the evening meals and the cakes were fantastic and the chalet was clean and well-run. Tony and Lisa created a homely, relaxed atmosphere and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. Our room (num 7) was the best by far I have ever seen in a ski resort with plenty of space, even for a family of 4 and wide reaching views. There really were copious amounts of hot water to fill the jacuzzi bath! The kids had a wonderful time. They loved the minibus rides, the table football, the kids dinners and the hot tub. ESF did a great job of improving their skiing and La Rosiere had plenty to offer for us as a family. There were no queues and we were lucky enough to have full sun on 4 days. We would not hesitate to book with Snow Crazy again. Many thanks to all the Chalet Chantelauze team for a fun-packed, gastro-feast week and enjoy the rest of the season.
Helen Laws, Chalet Chantelauze 25 Jan - 01 Feb 2009

Dear Mike and Laura, I wanted to drop you a mail to tell you what a great holiday we had last week. Paul and Lorraine did a fab job, they coped with Babs vegan diet fantastically - from the culinary point of view, easily the best holiday we have ever enjoyed. Thank you so much for finding out about the wine - the only time Babara has ever been able to enjoy wine with a meal on holiday. John did a great job too, hosting us around the mountains, really considerate - he took the time to check we were always OK. Overall a really great experience - we really hope to see you again next year.
Mark Houghton, Chalet Marigold, Jan 2009

We just wanted to write and say what a great week we have just had at Chalet Chantelauze with Snowcrazy. Thanks so much to you - and the ´chalet team´ of Tony, Lisa and Chris - for making it a great holiday - they really did look after us well and were enormous fun. I know I speak for all 7 of us in the party when I say we had a fab holiday and none of us wanted to leave this morning. You´ve got a great team there! With many thanks and best regards,
Dafina Keys, Chalet Chantelauze, Jan 2009

Hello Laura and Mike, Just wanted to thank you for giving us all such a great stay at Marigold after New Year. We all had a brilliant week, really just as good as we hoped - place, chalet, food, weather, snow, crowds (lack of), my boots (loved them) etc etc. After waiting so long to ski, it lived up to my expectations and everyone gave it ´our best holiday ever´ rating. We would love to do it again so are saving up! Please pass on our thanks to Paul and Lorraine, Steve and John for fielding and fulfilling our queries and requests so willingly and efficiently and for everything they did to help us enjoy the week so much. And thanks to you for getting us there out of all the other places we might have ended up! Hope we will holiday with you again.
Kathryn Bartlett, Chalet Marigold, Jan 09

Dear Mike and Laura, My partner and I just spent a week in Ste Foy at the Chalet Marigold (28/12 to 04/01). Up to now we had always spent our holidays in hotels. However, after the hospitality of Lorraine and Paul in Marigold, I have become a great fan of the chalet holiday. The food and wine were fantastic and the accommodation was spotless. It seemed to us that there was nothing that Paul, Lorraine, John and Steve wouldn’t do to make our stay a memorable one. We loved the resort. Who would believe that you could get so many days great skiing from just four lifts. Anyway, thanks for one of the best ski holidays ever. You will hear from us again. Best,
Seán and Cesar, Chalet Marigold, Jan 09

Hi Laura, I just wanted to drop you a line to say that we had a great week and that your staff certainly do you proud. Lisa and Tony were excellent hosts, extremely helpful and great cooks. Chris and Roger were also very helpful. Many thanks for a great week.
Claire Lewis, Chalet Chantelauze, Dec 08

Winter Season 2007-2008 Chalet Chantelauze, Renard and Chocard

Dear Mike and Laura, I´ve finally got round to dropping you a line to say what a fantastic holiday we had this year in Chalet Chocard (March 30th 1 week). Steve and Jo were amazing chalet hosts and with culinary skills to die for. By far the nicest chalet in 6 years of skiing and far better value and luxury than Esprit in La Rosiere. We would also like to thank Simon for what basically amounted to a fully guided tour of the slopes in white out conditions! A great guy. A wonderful holiday. Hope to come back one day and maybe bring some friends.
Kind regards, Tracy, Christopher and Lydia Jones from Nottingham, Chalet Chocard, April 08

Great conversations, food, lifts up to the slopes and a most wonderful hot tub. You made my whole family feel very welcome on what has been our best skiing holiday by miles.
Chris French, Chalet Chocard, April 2008

Thanks also to Simon, France´s greatest Ski Tech...
Anonymous, Chalet Chocard, April 08

A real home from home, you made us all feel like one large family! Excellent accomodation and food with great attention to detail and personal preferences. The resort is wonderful and we shall return!
Chris & Rosemary, Chalet Chocard, April 2008

A quick note to thank you very much for an excellent holiday. Julie and Martin were fabulous and the chalet was perfect. Everyone enjoyed the skiing, and we were thrilled that Archie loved it, he is already planning his next trip! Many thanks for your help with lessons, equipment, transfers etc- you really looked after us so well.
Sarah Wimborne, Chalet Renard, April 2008

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you very much for "the best holiday ever" (quote by Sam!!). We all had a fantastic time and wanted to thank you both, plus Julie, Martin, Jo, Steve & Simon. From the moment I first spoke to you Laura, through the transfers to the resort, chalet teams, boots/skis fitting to the transfer back to grenoble yesterday we could not have asked for more and you all went to so much trouble to ensure everything went as well as it possibly could. It was much appreciated by us all. (In fact Caitlin decided she wasn´t coming home and was going to stay and help Julie and when asked if he wanted to go skiing again next year Sam´s reply was only if we go to la Rosiere and stay with Snowcrazy! They are still complaining now about being home and not even the snow which greeted us when we got back has made them happy!!)

Could you also pass our thanks on to the ESF (Franck, Veronique and Cristophe) as the kids and Mum & Dad really enjoyed ski school which made life so much easier for us. The benefits of a Sunday transfer were made really clear on Saturday when Sam & Caitlin had a private lesson with Veronique which ended the week on such a high.

We will be back next year (as will Mum & Dad I think as they had a great time too and enjoyed being back in the mountains). Once again a HUGE thank you, it was great to come home this year with 2 kids who are desperate to ski again!! Kind regards,
Kaz, Simon, Sam & Caitlin, Chalet Renard, April 2008

This was our second visit to La Rosiere with Snowcrazy and certainly it won´t be our last. Excellent all round...
The Smith´s, Chalet Chocard, March 2008

Snowcrazy gets just about everything right, from the travel arrangements to food requirements. Jo and Steve as first time chalet hosts are the best we´ve experienced in 7 years of chalets. Simon (Break for the Border) is a real gem, Bombardino´s are the business. Don´t tell too many of your mates about Snowcrazy, ´cause it´ll be too difficult to book again.
Nicola & Richard, Chalet Chocard, March 2008

Mike, Laura, Keith & Claire, Just a note to say a massive thank you for looking after us all so well last week. We all had a fabulous time. The chalet was superb, the food delicious, and you managed to look after James..no mean feat!!! We thought the resort was fantastic, snow conditions excellent and felt that you couldn’t have done more for us.
Karen Williams, Chalet Chantelauze, March 2008

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful holiday - it exceeded our expectations, especially with three kids in tow! We hope to recruit some friends for a snow crazy holiday next year and will be in touch.
Kat Walters, Chalet Chocard, March 2008

Hi Laura and Mike, I just wanted to say a big thank you to Claire, Keith, Michael and of course the both of you for making our holiday and Steve´s birthday so absolutely brilliant. We all really enjoyed ourselves and have even converted Sarah, Paul and kids into enjoying skiing (although I think it did help having wonderful food, a hot tub, a private lift to and from the slopes/creche and a gorgeous luxury chalet!)

Despite having 8 children with us, I have to say that everyone agreed it was the most relaxing holiday they have had since having children but I am sure Claire and Keith would not agree! Rather than perhaps a gang of drunken couples, they had to deal with screaming toddlers, mayhem every morning, sickness, chocolate everywhere and bleeding noses. You coped well!

Well done - Snowcrazy is a fabulous company, you should be very proud. Thank you.
Alexia Warner, Chalet Chantelauze, February 2008

Jo and Steve have worked tirelessly to make ou week at Chalet Chocard simply amazing! The food and wine have been top notch.
Richard, Chalet Chocard, February 2008

Had to write to thank you for a fabulous holiday. We had a great time and you made it so easy for us; the organisation was brilliant and everything ran like clockwork from start to finish - even the weather was perfect, and if you told me you´d organised that too I´d believe you.
Anna Price, Self Catering Niverolles, February 2008

Thanks for a fantastic stay in La Rosiere, excellent food, company and skiing. Jo, Steve and Michael make the perfect hosts,once again thanks you.
Mary & David Youngs, Chalet Chocard, February 2008

A truly memorable stay, thanks!
Stephen Phillips, Chalet Chocard, February 2008

What a great week, I´m converted to skiing. La Rosiere is a hidden gem. Chateaux Renard is a perfectly cosy home. Martin & Julie, thanks for your hospitality and going beyond the call of duty!
Kim & John, Chalet Renard, February 2008

We would all like to thank you for a fantastic holiday and compliment you on your professionalism... We all agree that Snow crazy provides an excellent holiday package and service and we will be happy to recommend you in the future.

John Shimmin, Chalet Chocard, January 2008

We have had a great week in Chalet Chocard, the food has been excellent, the hosts have been great and we loved christening the hot tub!
The Sothcotts, Chalet Chocard, December 2007

From a woman who is a non-skier, I had a great time. The food and company was excellent.
Yvonne, Chalet Chantelauze, December 2007

A truly fabulous week that far exceeded all expectations. Special thanks to Claire and Keith for being such wonderful hosts, we never had to want for anything and I can honestly say I have not eaten so well in ages. To Mike and Laura, you have found a magical spot and may all who pass through the door to Chalet Chantelauze leave feeling as refreshed, rejuvinated and relaxed as we are. Needless to say, we will be back, with a wee one in tow next time!
With love, Sasha and Peter Gibson, Chalet Chantelauze, December 2007

Winter Season 2006-2007 Chalet Chantelauze

Guys, I would just like to say thank you for what was the best catered chalet holiday I have ever had. You looked after our families so well and everyone felt relaxed and at home at Chalet Chantelauze. The “fall in love” bit of your speil isn’t some cheap marketing stunt but a reality. We do appreciate all the hard work and effort that you guys put in – hope your holiday that you have planned brings you the same joy that you give to others.
Andy Kress, Operations Manager, Caprice Holdings (The Ivy restaurant, London) March 2007

Hi Mike, Laura, Jason, Cath and Andy,
Thanks for a lovely wonderfully relaxing holiday - being back in the real world seems particularly hard this year. My daughter Jura says she is missing ´the people who own the chalet´ - which to her is all of you.
Thanks again for such a great trip - too many things to mention in full - the lovely chalet decor (I have fallen in love with Chalet Renard), hot tubs with a stunning view, personal ski guiding, the cheese board and not forgetting the perfect porridge!
Jane Stewart, March 2007

Doug and I had the best week ever so thank you to you and Mike for sharing your time with us. What a great bunch of people we had that week - it really couldn´t have been any better, thank you again.
Dawn Rose, March 2007

Dear Mike, Laura & Jason,
It´s quite an accomplishment to achieve the perfect balance of friendliness, hospitality and outstanding standards but you guys do it so brilliantly. We´ve had the best week´s skiing and it´s going to be very difficult to find another chalet that can equal your standards. Well done and best of luck with all your future projects too! Lots of love,
Jules, March 2007

Fantastic chalet, fabulous food. Definately outshines the best restaurant in town. Comfort and hospitality rivalled by none. Fellow guests now new friends and this turned a good holiday into a great one. Laura, Mike and Jaz, you´ve been amazing. My kids loved it here. Many many thanks.
Ali Costello, March 2007

First of all a big thanks to Mike, Laura, Jason & Tomba, on reflection that is the worst skiing weather we have encountered in our five trips to the Alps. It is testament to your Chalet & service that it was our best holiday to date. Mike’s guiding and insistence on passing on his experience kept us safe even in the worst of conditions. The food in the Chalet was exceptional (another best ever) & the hot tub is something we will now ‘have to have’ each year. Chalet Chantelauze is without doubt the nicest chalet we have stayed in. You also went the extra bit on occasion to accommodate our requests I hope we weren´t too hard work for you! Our fellow Chalet guests deserve a mention who would of thought Scottish, Irish, Martian & English would have hit it off so well. We will plan to come back as we want to Ski the Italian side & get more of the wonderful views we got a brief glimpse of on the one day the Sun came out.
Thanks again & best regards
Sandy Stewart, March 2007

Thank you very much for your warm hospitality and kindness during our stay at La Rosiere. We all really enjoyed it and we can all ski better then when we started. The food was excellent and we loved the hot tub.
Akhtar, Michael & Zara xxx, February 2007

Another fantastic week in La Rosiere. Brilliant sunshine, great snow and the chalet hosts weren´t bad either!! Hope to be back next year to make it into the elusive ´group 3´. ´Till next time...
Claire and Aimee, January 2007

Fantastic hosts. Awesome food, Brilliant skiing. I will be back.
Jeff Cronkshaw, January 2007

I don´t want to go home now. I will miss the hot tub. I will definately be coming back again. Say bye to Tomba. It has probably been the best holiday I have been on. Can´t wait to come back.
Flora Davies (age 10), January 2007

WOW! The chocolate fountain was spectacular. Skiing was great and the hospitality was second to none. We had a fantastic xmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!
Helen, December 2006

Rubeena Hussain, December 2006

Thank you so much for making this trip such a fantastically memorable holiday. You really have made this holiday for us and the chalet, hospitality and the service you offer are second to none. Best ski holiday I´ve ever been on despite the shortage of snow.
Ben Crew, Ben´s 30th Bash, December 2006

The chalet, service and hospitality you provide are second to none. I have had an excellent week and have every intention of returning for more of the same. Very many thanks,

John, April 2006

Hi Laura & Mike
Thank you so much for having us to stay in your chalet last week and for being such great hosts. It really was a great week, and very relaxing. The chalet is gorgeous and the views are absolutely stunning. You have certainly chosen well. The food was great and so much of it! I am still getting used to not having 4 course breakfasts and supper and a cake waiting for me when I get home. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed too and luckily a great bunch of people last week. I hope you have a really successful rest of the year.
Best wishes, Mel & Rich, February 2006

Mike, Laura and Tomba!
Just to say a big thank you - had a fantastic time... gorgeous chalet, excellent food and great company! Came back to reality this week with a hard thump... Birmingham just doesn´t compare....we think someone´s stolen our hot tub!!
Would love to come back soon! Will keep in touch,
Aimee and Claire xx, February 2006

Absolutely fantastic, great organisation, wonderful food, great company, can´t wait to come back.
Jackie, January 2006

Chris & Janet, 19th March 2005

Thanks for making my first ski-holiday an extra special one! I thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine and hospitality. Only one problem now is David will expect me to cook like you which is impossible! Take care and have a happy future together as you make a winning team.
Clair, 5th February 2005

Mike and Laura,
Many thanks for all the extra effort you put into making our week very special - nice to have a couple that go the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed everything! All the very best with your new venture in 2006 and perhaps we will meet again.
Steve aka ´Crash´, 5th February 2005

Many thanks for making this holiday FAB! Food and service better than The Ivy...Nothing too much trouble for you guys, thanks again.
Tony and Bernadine, 4th February 2005

Great food, great company, fab hosts, we won´t forget you.
Steve, 21st January 2005

We all had a splendid week. Mike and Laura are excellent hosts - particularly good cooks (beautiful puddings!) and the ski guiding was great fun and to be recommended. You are a winning combination for your future plans. With love from us all xxx
The Littleboys, Christmas 2004

Thanks to Mike and Laura, my stay could not have been better! They must be the best chalet hosts! I will miss them very much.

Thank you for helping me have one of the best Christmas ever. You have been great and very kind to me. Merry Christmas!
Love from Samantha Gilbert, age 9, April 2004

We all had a superb week mainly because you both worked very hard to ensure all our needs were catered for and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great deal of fun last week and I hope you felt part of our party, not just there to run around after us. Mike, you must work on that Indi/Welsh accent for your after dinner jokes!
Ray Richardson, 16 March 2004

A McGonagle poem for Mike and Laura, 27 March to 3 April 2004...

Dear Mike and Laura, a hell of an act.
Hang on a mo´ - I´ll give you the fact.
Mike uses yogurt to stop ´imploding´ cakes,
Laura´s a ski babe who´s got what it takes.

Mike drilled us well, to be at the table real quick.
He´d tell ancient jokes, so we´d give him some stick!
His French Onion Soup is the best ever tasted,
But his Rosemary Lamb on Phil was just wasted.

Laura started real quiet, now she´s one of the boys.
She prefers men on skis - they´ve got longer toys!
But ´tho she admits, boarders have better patter,
She´ll stick to her skier, ´cos size really matters.

So, fond memories of La Tania, with Marie and her feet.
Need a port in a storm? Susan don´t come cheap.
Jean´s back on her skis. big cheers all round
And in Mike and Laura, great hosts we have found!

So, for Mike and Laura, let´s ´big it up´ from all the Somerset crew,
We wish you ´Bonne Chance´ in all that you do!
