Our relationship with one of these guys goes way back to the early days of Meribel and the mighty El Ponchos. [...]

It’s been and done now but it was most definitely worth a mention! Marmalade jam with DJ Flex.  (Think Jack Kerouac, On The road)   He was a distinguished looking Englishman with a stiff white collar, slightly beefy, blond, with a delicate English summer’s night air about him that came out in the first rippling sweet number he [...]

Aaaaah! Not sure which is a finer sight for sore eyes? Is it the snow falling from the skies this morning in Meribel or the sight of a female form in the Marmalade uniform. Either way is a winner in it’s own right. First let’s address la neige (that’s snow in French for some of you). It fell today [...]

Today we have a treat for you all. We are introducing you all to one of our favourite Marmaladies. Miss Emily Sarsfield. 19th best in the world.
