Happy New Year Everyone.
Returned last night from 2 Fanastic Weeks in Levi.
The snow wasnt great the first week but we made the most of it - in fact the first week was like an ice-skating rink, the first snow appeared on Christmas morning which was magical.
We had Santa Visit the cabin which was the most magical experience i think i will ever have the childrens faces were a picture.
We did the mini-husky safari with inghams which was great value for money.
We took a sleigh ride in the forest on Christmas Day which was breathtaking and my daughter and i did the Poney treck in the forest on another day which was also beautiful - the sky was pink all morning.
We hired Smow Mobiles from Persch Safaris ( which came with a guide) the kids were in a fully covered heated pod and went to the Reindeer Farm - had a 15 min reindeer ride and drinks 260Euros which took 3 hours in total.
We took a trip to Lanio Snow Village which was brill, you can also spend the night there, each bedroom has a different theme ie, ice carved beds and walls there is an ice- bar as well , you can also do sledging there and husky rides and snowmobile rides - but i think you have to pr-book these befor you go - it was 140euros from levi in a taxi and the driver waited for 2 hours for us.
The slopes are not busy the front slopes got a bit icey but we liked run 8 as there was a button lift and a T bar that ran alongside each other, so the more advanced skier could do the more advanced run and meet the novice half way (ie. me)
Hubby LOVED the Worl Cup Run - said it was an amazing buzz and wished he could live there just so he could ski it every day.
Inghams party was great for the kids - they had a blast food not brill but hey its free.
Levi Logs were great - we had no washer, kettle or dvd Player for 6 days but it got sorted in the end, they were very modern and clean - wouldnt reccomend the smaller ones for more than 4 people.
The supermarket was good sold most things - but not very consistant, some days you could get meat some days you couldnt the same went for bread and milk in the afternoons and you havnt a hope of getting a chicken. lol
Levi was FANTASTIC. Lots to do if you wanted to and also quiet and peacefull if you didnt want to join in - the beat of both worlds.
All in all a fantastic holiday - wish there was more snow, apparently there worst winter in years but you cant do anything about mother nature you just have to make the most of what there is.
It was nice to see Kelly after all these months - we had a good laugh and also nice to see LythamLil (hi)
Looking forward to going back there in December.
If i can help anyone with any question give us a shout.

I know the feeling about searching the net for holidays I also am looking for feb half term and keep checking lastminute.com.
The really annoying thing is that our half term is 10 feb and if you go the week before there price difference is huge!
As for ski boots I also have problems every year and end up changing mine several times whilst on holiday but last year found the perfect fit ones but this year they had got ride of that style for some reason so I ended up moaning about my feet and lower legs aching and it was so lovely to take them of at the end of the day.

Shell,
I reckon you are nearer my age and daniel would have said anything to please you he thought you were great the treacherous little git, lol lol and are you insinuating that i%26#39;m miserable.

Bluny,
I thought it was funny as well and could%26#39;nt believe it was still on here when i got back so perhaps they do have a sense of humour after all.

Were thinking of going to Andora, geting a flight to Gerona and then a bus to Andora and booking accomodation seperate.
Lapland too pricey in feb compared to europe then theres also the finish holidays to take in to account which according to the ski- shop guys are weeks 8,9 and 10, they do say thats the best time to ski though.

Yes we was told that the finnish school holidays are then but feb 10th for us would be ok.Dont know if im brave enough to ask for another week off as our school did not authorise the children leave this year.
|||
Yes kelly I was surprised to see that they had left it on!
It was great to come home and read that!Made me chuckle all day thinking about it!

Bluny,
Why don%26#39;t you just let them have a week off and tell the school they are sick, or do you think the girls will drop you in it when they go back.
Kelly.
