The 2011/12 ski season has got off to a great start with loads of snow and excellent teams in resort looking after our guests.  Here's some of the feedback we've had so far:

 

Chalet Rosalie – Faith & Patch are excellent – they made us welcome and looked after us brilliantly.  Nothing was too much trouble.

Chalet Yale – Meals were exceptional.  Very well done Taite.  Both chef and host were very welcoming and we were very well looked after by Morven in the chalet.

Chalet Roger – Louise, Melinda and Nikolai were brilliant, great team who have added to a very positive experience.  Great cooking and excellent hosting.

Chalet Elise – Donna’s food was fantastic and flexibility with the kids appreciated. Kate is a really friendly and accommodating host.

Chalet Nicola – Really impressed by friendliness of Kev and Lauren.  Friendly, welcoming and very attentive  Food was fantastic,  Lauren is a wonder.

Chalet Corrie Blanc -   Steph was brilliant as ever (we had her last year).  Rob is an excellent chef, every meal was superb and he’s so cool!

 

Clair Andrews (Resort Manager) – Fantastic staff and service – 5 stars.   All chalet staff are first class – Clair is an excellent Resort Manager.  Excellent all round service, couldn’t ask for more.

Blake Williams (Ski Tech/Instructor)  – Blake filled me with confidence as a technician when he was fitting me out, was really helpful and patient.  First time with Blake – an excellent ski instructor.

Mark Grant (Handyman/Driver)  – My guide was Mark on the snowboard. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and found him patient and encouraging, good company and an excellent guide.

Chris (Handyman/Driver) – When we had an injury on the slopes Chris’ help and patience were greatly appreciated.

 

Well another fantastic week was had by all, great snow and the usual fantastic Skivo service. Please pass on my thanks to everyone.  (Alice Duffy, Chalet Corrie Blanc, Feb 2012)

 

We are just back from our week in Courchevel and had another great holiday.  Snow conditions were excellent and we were very well looked after in the Chalet and at lessons as usual.   (Paul Mullan, Chalet Roger, Feb 2012)

 

Just a quick note to say thanks for a great trip last week! Freddie and I had a fab time  - needless to say he was a lot better than me with the skiing and is now hooked. Our instructor, Tom, was brilliant and had Freddie on a couple of reds, a black and some off piste as well so he certainly packed it in for a first-ever week. Chalet Roger was great, as were Louise, Nikolai and Melinda – we loved the evening meals and, in my case, the fact that you could have as much wine as you wanted - oops. A definite plus, to go with those necessary Kir Royales.   I think skivo2 really scores with the instruction and the ski equipment, in the sense that Blake filled me with confidence as a technician when he was fitting me out, was really helpful, patient etc etc and the two guys who taught us were really patient but moved us on quickly, no-nonsense etc. Also loved the resort and appreciated the fact that it’s a great place to learn. We’d definitely go again.  (Paul Hamblin, Chalet Roger, Feb 2012)

 

In addition to the feedback form I left in Corrie Blanc last week, I just wanted to let you know directly that we all had an absolutely fantastic time last week. Absolutely everyone and everything was perfect, so thank you very much and please pass on our thanks to all your staff.   (Anne, Mike & Jamie Parris, Chale Corrie Blanc, Feb 2012)

 

Just writing to let you know that you have a fantastic chef (Donna) at Chalet Elise in Courchevel – she catered fantastically to our veggie diets and managed to give me a whole week of food free from goats cheese!   (Mel Tomkings, Chalet Elise, Feb 2012)

 

We all had another great week in chalet Yale! Taite worked miracles in the kitchen and we very much enjoyed his delicious cakes.  (Tim Brierley, Chalet Yale, Feb 2012)

 

Just a note to say many thanks for another great holiday. I think this was the hardest one to come home from. A brilliant week was had by myself and Kirsten. Keep up the great work.  Thanks.  (Niall and Kirsten Gaffney, Chalet Roger, Jan 2012)

 

Dear Tracey,  It was so good to meet you in Le Praz last week. We all had a wonderful time, as we walked throught the village on the first night to Chalet Nicola to get our skis I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Le Praz is so beautiful, the conditions were so wonderful, the chalet comfortable, the staff welcoming and helpful, the food delicious, the skiing instruction so helpful, I honestly think it was the best skiing holiday I’ve ever had and we all enjoyed ourselves hugely.   Please can I do the same as I did this year and make a provisional booking for 2013 (to be confirmed when you go to press) right now? With every good wish, and thanks to everyone at skivo2. (Louisa Coxwell-Rogers, Chalet Roger, Jan 2012)

 

Taite’s food was on a par with anything I’ve had in a chalets and better than most.  I think the others all felt the same.  He has a formidable range of cook’s knives for someone so young! (David Jenkins, Chalet Yale, Jan 2012)

 

Just to let you know I had the most fantastic week. Skiing and chalet perfect in every way.   (Keith Bowden, Chalet Yale, Jan 2012)

 

Hi Tracey,   You'll be in France now and glad that we saved you all that snow! This is just to say that we had a great week. Donna and Kate did us proud in Chalet Elise and Blake's lessons were good too. As always, it was nice to be back on familiar ground in Le Praz and all the Merseysiders in their various chalets had fun.   Hope you have a brilliant week.   Very best wishes.  (Liz Soane, Chalet Elise, Jan 2012)

 

Thanks Tracey for organising everything from this end.  Everybody had a great holiday and are all keen to return again sometime.  Hope you’re managing to get out sometime as the snow is as good as I think most people have seen it. Many thanks again.  (Morna Jafferey, Chalet Roger, Jan 2012)

 

I had a fantastic time in Courchevel over the last three weeks, powder snow for the first week and then sun and good snow for the remainder.  Was a bit tough to leave on Saturday with all the snow that had fallen the night before!  The food in all the chalets was great, including Yale where Tait cooked us some lovely meals.  Hope you have a great time when you go out in a few weeks time, you should have good snow.  (Davina Blanchard, Chalet Elise Rosalie & Yale, Jan 2012)


JUST A QUICK LINE TO SAY A V BIG THANKYOU TO ALL AT SKIVO2 FOR A FANTASTIC HOLIDAY!  Special thanks to Steph  for her vitality,  Rob for his wonderful cuisine and Issie for fantastic skiing tuition.  Hope to be back ASAP.  Lots of love & thanks to all.  x (Heidi Ranson, Chalet Corrie Blanc, Jan 2012)

 

Kev was brilliant - He is a huge asset to skivo2 and his cooking was excellent.  Always a great welcome and high standard of chalet staff.  (Colin Tyrer, Chalet Nicola, Jan 2012)

 

First time with skivo2, very impressed so will definitely return. (Chalet Corrie Blanc, Jan 2012)

 

Service and friendliness of Patrick and Faith was exceptional.  Made holiday a great experience.  (McAulay Family, Chalet Rosalie, Jan 2012)

 

Brilliant experience.  I have never skied before but felt we were well looked after and received excellent instruction. (Steve Crawford, Chalet Roger, Jan 2012)

 

Really impressed by friendliness of staff - always willing to help and ensure guests are enjoying their stay" (Joseland Family, Chalet Nicola, Jan 2012)

 

We did indeed have a great trip to Le Praz last week - team Donna proved a massive hit with the Gilbert party, with Pat and Georgie taking great care and attention covering us on the slopes, even the weather was “superb.” (Reg Gilbert, Chalet Elise, Jan 2012)

 

Would you pass on our thanks to the chalet staff and note our positive feedback of the chalet, staff and everything else in connection with our holiday. Once again we had a fantastic skiing holiday courtesy of skivo2. The food was fab, the chalet was 1st class and Patch and Faith were very obliging and great chalet hosts. .  The snow was great and there was certainly plenty of it - probably a bit too much too quickly. But the conditions were lovely.   We certainly hope to return next year so will be in touch in the not too distant future. Many thanks again. (Ann Annandale, Chalet Rosalie, Jan 2012)

 

Service of staff excellent, great value for money. (Chalet Roger, Jan 2012)

 

Just a quick thank you once again for a fantastic holiday. As ever, we seem to take snow with us and what a week it was. Great snow, great lessons and great accommodation. Thanks to Dave all the team who make this possible year on year. In particular the kids loved their lessons with Rob and our chef Taite was quite outstanding. Can't wait for our next trip.   With this in mind... we are interested in spending the New Year week with you next year but guess this may book up early?  Thanks again and what a season is in store for your guests.  (Graeme Cornwell, Chalet Nicola, Jan 2012)

 

Despite the record amounts of snow and wind, we had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed Chalet Nicola and all of the instructors.  Many thanks(Kathaleen Stephenson, Chalet Nicola, Jan 2012)

 

Thanks for a fabulous week's skiing - Donna and Katie were excellent. (Jim Bell, Chalet Elise, Dec 2011)

 

Thanks very much for yet another perfect ski week.  I don't know how skivo2 manages to give such good value for the cost. The food (Rob the chef) was amazing and the hospitality (Steph the hottest hostess) was warm, fun and efficient.  Lessons with Izzy were hilarious and helpful.  Total happiness for a Xmas week...and SNOW ++.  Please pass this to Dave cos we love what he does! (Sally Whittet, Corrie Blanc, Dec 2011)

 

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we all had last week in Yale.  The chalet, staff (I have to say Chef Tait is a fantastic find!) and of course the fantastic snow all led to a brilliant week.  The personal service and the feeling we are returning to see good friends is priceless.   Is it possible to book again for next New Year week.  (Chris Riggs, Chalet Yale, Dec 2011)

 

The team in Chalet Nicola were the best.  It all went so well I couldn't believe it.  Lauren (what a darling) and Kev(in) were so good.  I had a really, really good holiday, The best I have had with skivo2 - the snow was plentiful and every day was different. I learned a lot.  I am looking forward my March holidy with skivo2 immensely. I only hope all this snow gets topped-up and lasts for the next 10 weeks.  (Gary Bidwell, Chalet Nicola, Dec 2011)

 

We had a fabulous time in Rosalie and  were looked after so well by Faith and Patch that we are keen to come again next year.  (Alison Creasy, Chalet Rosalie, Dec 2011)

 

Home and thinking about our next trip!! Fantastic snow and the rest of the holiday just went perfectly.   Would it be possible to place a provisional booking for the Christmas week next season?  (Jacky Barrack, Chalet Yale, Dec 2011)

 

We had a great week in Le Praz last week in Chalet Nicola.  Many thanks to Kevin and Lauren in the chalet for looking after us so well and the rest of the skivo team in Le Praz for a great weeks skiing.   We enjoyed it so much that we are considering going again this season.  (Gary Kelso, Chalet Nicola, Dec 2011)
