@monsguide day out to Montgenevro!
A little bit chilly today, but awesome snow and perfect pistes!
This is why we go over to the French side of the Via Lattea every week. It’s my favourite area to play around on the snowboard and if you buy the six day lift pass, you get two days over the border, and I always recommend going skiing over there when you’re on holiday.

… anyone else rubbish at capturing amazing experiences?
Last night, @sianyc76 and I got a skidoo up the mountain from Sauze d’Oulx to @hotelciaopais for the most amazing, traditional Italian dinner.
Unfortunately, this is the best video you’re gonna get from me.
And this is why @channel4 followed us around for the past year, filming as we renovate the apartments and Ash starts the @monsguide business - because without them, we wouldn’t have any decent shots of everything we’ve achieved since we moved here!
If you’re visiting Sauze d’Oulx, make sure you get yourself to @hotelciaopais for lunch or dinner. At lunchtime, take Red 2000 straight to the door. At night, you’ve got to get the skidoo!
You’ll also get a 10% discount with the Monsguide discount card!

It’s pretty quiet again on the slopes in Sauze d’Oulx this week. A little bit icy, a little bit cold, but still a pretty glorious day out on the mountain.

I forgot to take any pictures today, so here’s a little video @ashtilbury took of our Xmas day up the hill in Sauze.
What a joy to be out on the mountain today, back on the snowboard!
Happy Christmas Everyone!
Lovely, lovely day out in gorgeous sunshine.

Someone’s happy that summer is over!
Although the snows put a stop to all outdoor renovation, we’re all pretty damn happy now that winter is well on the way.
Looks like we’re going to have an epic start to the season. Who wants to join us for some early season fresh tracks?!?
Only one week in December still available in the studio apartment & we’re filling up fast for the rest of the season

It is now officially cold on morning dog walks!
48 hours final push getting our outdoors areas finished because the snow is on its way.
We’ve got our @vialattea.official season lift passes bought &
@ashtilbury is all wrapped up head to toe in @dopesnow ready for the snow!
And if you wanna come ski or snowboard in Sauze d’Oulx & the Via Lattea this winter, we’ve got a couple of new January dates available, but booking up fast for the rest of the season.

The cows are moving down the mountain!
Wilson still didn’t get the memo that he’s meant to be a cattle dog. Instead, the cows terrify him!

Because the last reel didn’t include the bathroom

First garden job of the day done.
#landscaping #diyinspo #outdoorliving
With guests arriving in the next couple of weeks, we desperately need to get this outdoor space sorted.
Action stations in the baking sun for our garden landscaping, diy paths, diy patio and upcycling of all the cobblestones.
How much do you think we’ll have done by tonight?

If you buy in Italy, you’ll most likely have to contend with little, strange plots of land adjoining yours that aren’t yours.
This area is in front of our ‘new’ part of the house (built in 1935) and today I received the message from a neighbour that the owner was OK with me going on his land to chop down the plants that are now towering over our ground floor window.
Very satisfying! Gardening is a great workout.

Living in nature means we have all the freedom in the world. The dog gets to run wild and live his best life out here in the Italian mountains… except for when it’s time to move the livestock up to the sunny pastures.
