La Taiga Bar / Restaurant Refurb Has Started…

Work at La Taiga Bar / Restaurant has started – Krab building a new big stage area for his favourite band, Bring Your Sisters. No truth in rumours of pyrotechnics being installed or a ring of fire channel for lighter fluid around the stage being built…

Stage will be big enough to take sofas so they can be removed on Band Nights, the loo area is being renovated and all new furniture being installed throughout too.

Weekly gigs so far confirmed for La Taiga are Bring Your Sisters on Sunday nights and Stevie & Westy on Friday nights.

3 Valleys Apres Party, Heston, Dallaglio, Ibiza Rocks etc…

Quite a big one in true La Tania style… Top food and drink at the Apres Ski party hosted by Les 3 Vallees in Fulham last night. Great to catch up with Meribel Un-Plugged, Taking The Piste, Three Valleys Transfers, Skipedia, Ski France and the Ibiza Rocks The Snow crew.

Had to photo bomb 3 star Michelin Celberity Chef Heston Blumenthal OBE (who visited La Tania a couple of years ago) and former England Rugby Captain (and World Cup Winner) Lawrence Dallaglio OBE. Think 3vt.co.uk John gave them free transfers for life…

Ski France Ibiza Rocks The Snow crew – going to be a big thing in Meribel this Winter.

Strange showing the road in the La Tania poster – especially as it advertises itself as a traffic free resort!

Louisa and John – get everywhere…

Ski Show Bar Prices – just like being in the Alps!

The hotel floor the next morning…
