| Alpine Nannies |
In-house private childcare in Morzine, France. English-owned & run. Takes care of children from 4 months - 11 years, while you go skiing. That's the good news. The bad news is that they are taking a year off! The service won't be available in the 04/05 season, but will return in 05/06....?! |

| ChaletFood.com |
 Brilliant service for skiers on self-catering chalet holidays. Book your groceries, food & drink online and they deliver it to your chalet or apartment. They cover the big ski areas in France; Trois Vallees, Ski Paradis, Espace Killy, and the Chamonix valley... so, most French ski resorts. |
| Clubhouse, The |
Due to launch on 12 December, Jonathan Downey, the owner of Soho private members' clubs Milk & Honey and The Player, says The Clubhouse will be the Alps' first world-class mountain boutique hotel and members' bar. The rooms have amazing views of the mighty Mont Blanc Massif, everything you'd expect from a 21st century boutique design hotel and much more: from crisp Frette linen to teak-decked 'rainforest' showers; from mini-bars stocked with Myla sex toys to toys for the boys - DVDs, plasma screens, quad bikes and BMW X5 private transfers. The €1m refurbishment of an Art Deco mansion built in 1927 has created seven great rooms with accommodation for up to 24 guests, a clubhouse lounge, bar and restaurant and a treatment suite for weary legs and wind-blown skin. |
| Ellis Jackson Ski Holidays |
Ski and Snowboard holidays in Courchevel le Praz and Courchevel 1650. |

| Whitepod.com |
 Whitepod is an 'eco ski retreat' (launched in the 04/05 ski season) located above the Swiss ski resort of Villars and reached by skis or snowshoes. There are no cars, no buses and no other hotels. The camp consists of five eco-pods (dome-shaped tents designed and manufactured in the USA) pitched on raised wooden platforms around a traditional Alpine chalet and is the creation of Swiss local, Sofia de Meyer. |
