Spending a winter season in Meribel is about so much more than skiing. From unforgettable apres afternoons to lifelong friendships and mountain birthdays, every seasonaire story is completely unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked this year\u2019s Ski Basics team to share some of their favourite memories from the winter and what made their season so special. Here, Molly reflects on five incredible months in the Three Valleys and the moments that made the experience unforgettable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the Best Things I\u2019ve Ever Done\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

Working for Ski Basics in Meribel<\/span><\/a> has, without a doubt, been one of the best things I have ever done! They created such a welcoming family atmosphere from the outset, and we all bonded so quickly. It was such a great way to meet like-minded people, some of whom I know will be lifelong friends!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is so hard to pick just one experience to sum up just how much fun we all had throughout the season, so instead I have chosen two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrating St Patrick\u2019s Day in Meribel<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"The first was celebrating St Patrick\u2019s day. The weather couldn\u2019t have been better for it, and the snow conditions were amazing. The Irish girls were determined to make sure we all celebrated properly! We all got dressed up in green and had a brilliant morning ski. We then headed over to Ski Lodge, in La Tania, where we rounded off the day with undoubtedly some of the best apres all season.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Mountain Birthday to Remember<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The second was actually on my birthday, and we had decided to put our chalet hosting skills to good use and make a \u2018charcuterski\u2019 board on the side of the mountain. We went a bit overboard with the amount of food, but it was such a fun way to celebrate and to spend time with everyone in the sunshine! We of course had to head to Folie afterwards which was a definite highlight. It was obviously a completely different birthday to one you would experience at home, but absolutely one of my favourites!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"No Two Weeks Were Ever the Same<\/span><\/h2>\n

I also can\u2019t not mention the amount of skiing we were able to do! Everyone\u2019s skiing improved by miles, and we were lucky enough to have a lesson with Parallel Lines in December, which set us up brilliantly for the season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"No week at Ski Basics felt the same, with new guests, different group activities, new apres bands to see, and different snow conditions every week that were amazing throughout the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saying Goodbye After an Incredible Winter<\/span><\/h2>\n

It was a very sad goodbye at Geneva airport in April, but I am so grateful to have worked for such a lovely company and to have spent 5 months with some amazing people!<\/span><\/p>\n

Every season brings its own unforgettable moments, and Molly\u2019s story perfectly captures what makes a winter with Ski Basics so special – amazing skiing, incredible friendships and memories that last a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n
