The first plans for Mavention were made at the start of 2008. At that time we made the promise that we use the principle: ‘work hard, play hard´. One of the most important things that we already knew: `we will go on winter holiday as Mavention’.
Paul and Erik took the initiative and the first Snowvention became a fact. Thanks a lot guys! All the people of Mavention with their partners and children traveled to the snowy mountains of Fiesch in Switzerland. Snow was certainly present, loads of it. Fortunately also the sun was there and of course the drinks and laughs. We had a good mix of skiers and snowboarders. For some the first time on the slopes and for others the perfect opportunity to ski or board an extra weekend this year. After two great days of fun on the slopes it was time to return home.
The return trip turned into quite a challenge. Not only because it was a great weekend and everyone still rather wanted to stay longer. Our biggest challenge was that nearly all mountain roads from the village were blocked by heavy snowfall. It took us three extra hours to find a safe route to the Netherlands.
I think we can reminisce a fantastic weekend and if it´s up to me we will keep the winter holiday on the calendar each year.
