Has anyone been on a Mark Warner ski holiday with baby?

[Al&Em]

Just wondered whether anyone has been on a Mark Warner ski holiday recently and taken their baby and can offer tips on what to take/ what's not needed and what to expect from the childcare? We're off to Deux Alps in a few weeks time, taking our 9 month old with us and am starting to panic thinking about all the kit we'll need to take! I'm also a bit worried because it'll be the first time that we'll have left him in a creche-type environment on his own for that long...

But some of the things I wondered are:

Baby food - it says they provide baby food jars but should we take our own (Ella's, for example) that we know are good?

Buggy - is taking a buggy included in the baggage allowance or do you need to pay extra (am hoping not since it is a kiddy friendly holiday operator!)? And is it even worth taking one, given that it's likely to be snowy and icy (well, I'm hoping so anyway) - do buggys work in the ice?

Naps - baby likes to nap in his buggy and isn't good at napping in his cot during the day (I know, I need to work on this....). Any idea whether the creche/nanny staff will let him sleep in his buggy for naps or is that not the done thing? Do I need to work harder at the cot napping over the next few weeks to get him trained for the holiday?

Washing machines - do they have any?

Planning to phone and ask about all this anyway but just wondered if anyone had any advice from their own experiences - anything I haven't thought of?

Very excited about the holiday but a bit nervous about leaving the LO.... :-S

I would have thought a baby who likes to sleep in the buggy is very well suited for jet setting!

Several years ago we took our two year old skiing with MW. The nannies were excellent and he was happy in the creche. They had a number of large wheeled buggies so will be able to help you there. They provide microwaves for warming milk or baby food and we could use these any time of day. Take nappies and wipes - choice is limited in resort. The change in altitude affected our son's appetite but the food was good. We hired a toboggan to take him out in the snow including pulling him around the town.
