More Mountain Morzine in The Guardian last week…. Slushy Madness!

Well, what can we say other than we’re getting famous! We are super stoked to be featured in this weeks Guardian. Read ON…
Travel writer, Susan Greenwood, writes about the fun and frolicks on our Slushy Social which is based out of our Morzine chalets in April every year. She gives a little bit of history as to where the Slushy all began, our alliance with Subvert and how the Slushy has become the new Morzine institution for discerning boarders (and a couple of skiers if they are honoured!) from the UK.
Susan Says….”The Slushy Social is a week-long gathering which takes the mantra of “going out with a bang” and runs with it. It began in 2007 when Sam and Jon Dredge, owners of ski company More Mountain, found themselves with a spare week in Chalet Robin and invited all their mates out to celebrate the end of the winter in style…Five years on and the basement of their flagship property (as Robin has now become) is packed with 93 snowboards from nine brands, and enough bindings for a new pair every day of the month. The week, thanks to its alliance with Subvert (subvertboardstore.com), a Manchester-based snowboard store, has turned into an opportunity for participants to test all of next season’s kit.”
There’s a definite school’s out vibe, probably because the clientele are keen snowboarders who moonlight as accountants, teachers, secretaries, business owners, welders. They are all away from work, in their element, and keen to make the most of it. “The idea is that everyone mucks in,” said Jon. “The chalet guys get to ride with guests; we slack off a little bit with the finer touches so we’ve more time to spend with people. The atmosphere is really relaxed.”

Rowan Coultas shreds at Camp Of Champions…
We first met Rowan a few years back and knew from the first time we saw him on the snow that the kid had great skills.
Since then we have seen him go from strength to strength.
He’s certainly one to keep an eye on – here he is shredding the rails at the Camp of Champions in Whistler…To follow the mini shredder’s antics
