Don't worry I won't be calling or going anywhere this season for that matter :cry:

It's funny though I was only looking at their offers a couple of months ago.... Not funny for those who have been left stuck though...

Sorry guys I havent been on in a while.

Basically the company went bankrupt and all the staff were made redundant:

but its really dodgy because a previous company ran by the same people went bankrupt and then was bought by another company RAN BY THE SAME PEOPLE:

Done some googling and found a thread on snowheads. This is a very interesting post:

[Potentially libelous content removed - Admin]

The owner of the hotel leased it for 3 years to take me too so at the moment she cant run it herself or she will be in breach of the lease. She is currently in court trying to get back her hotel as she is determined to reopen the hotel properly and try and salvage the reputation of her family's hotel.

The current manager has taken some bookings in cash but I dont think that is going to continue.

So the Grand Rousses was leased entirely to 'Take Me To"?

I'm sure nothing bad will happen to the hotel, by the sounds of it the hotelier hadn't the foggiest what was going on behind the scenes......

Plus if the location is so great etc then I'm sure the skiers will return, and hopefully the family can turn their business back around and hopefully not make the mistake again. Unknown to them.
