Jones family holiday - Day Two

POSTED: Tue February 06, 2018

Today we’re joining the Jones's as they once again take to the slopes in Courchevel 1850. Under the helpful guidance of Jerome from Oxyski (formally Oxygène) Ski School, they certainly seem to be doing well!

Mum and Dad were able to take some time to themselves while our nannies took the kids on an adventure to the Altiport for snow games, hot chocolate, and a lovely sing-a-long.

In Dads words…''so far so good!''
