News & Stuff
- or is this turning into a review of the season?
Er Charity Day... I crashed big time. Matt Sharples won the race,
BBQ was very good - that's all I know. Sam Wall now born - huge
free drinks night in the Ski Lodge - Oh dear... Thursday 3 weeks
ago: LdV night at Meribel Village - Happy Hour and again later with
Shibboleth - now playing 3 U2 tracks (One, Stuck in a Moment,
Desire) and a fantastic version of Handbags and Gladrags
with dinner in Le Praz in between (Debs last night before The
Maldives and Greece). Nic.com made it over on the next big thing
- A SnowDeck. This sort of skateboard with a sort of snowblade underneath
and no bindings may not be the future but it's certainly fun and
only £90 made by Burton. Friday was spent skiing around 1650
and fixing peoples computers and webcams. Saturday saw a superb
day above VT and Les Menuires followed by an afternoons "relaxing"
at Brewskis in St Martin with Chicken Curry Pies and Stella - thanks
for the shots Louise, Toni and Becks. This lead to the inevitable
falls in the slush down to Meribel and missing the Loze chair back
to La Tania. We were rescued by Poundy at Meribel Village - we owe
you. La Tania's very own RAF officers were in town at the weekend
- they pulled within 10 minutes of entering the Ski Lodge, look
lads just 'cos you flew over for the weekend in your own £25
million pound jets (and a fuel card).... top work boys. More hard
and fast skiing on Sunday morning with Phil the Van on the Stade
run down to 1850 (you've got to go under the fence) which was in
superb nick. No one should slag off the snow though - slush can
be fun, either relax on a big board or power through with some big
heavy skis (Dynastar Powertracks & Intuitives
being our weapons of choice - and Fleet the table sleeper could
certainly rip it up on those Salamon Pocket Rockets but twin
tips always spray the person behind you and a face full of slush
at speed is quite challenging). The
Punter has taken over with the latest gossip - thanks for
all your help whoever you are. Bagpus and Soma Central have been
rocking the place recently. Lots of locals have finally gone skiing
(Dan & Fleet skiing indeed not boarding Hmmm...). No one can
remember Mardi Gras, St Pats night or any other when there were
no photos..... Rumours of Yellow condoms continue... T. Walls Birthday
- Toss the Boss night (Heads you drink free, Tails you pay) lead
to the inevitable rowdy night in Dicks with the usual competition
of climbing across the lighting rigs to the other side of the dance
floor - this is not to be encouraged. DoubleDex got RAC'd back home
eventually he's now in Banf with Sophie - what's that all about
- looks like throwing up in front of Kat didn't impress her. All
this years photos can be found here
(except the Punter Pics - check out the menu on the side). Shibboleth
had all their gear nicked (about £10,000 worth) - but they're
back rocking again. The Noize are putting up a good show too, highlights
included U2's Beautiful Day with Let Me Entertain You
and Rock DJ from Robbie. Simon from Ultimate Events is Kangaroo
Boxing (or pillow fighting) on Mondays and there's a seventies night
every 2 weeks or so. Meanwhile relationships between Shibboleth's
George & Bodo, Chabi Vacances and Family Friendly Skiing have
improved considerably over the last few days - however the usual
Ladies man bassist Colin has been very quiet...... Toffa.
