?Some Christmas revelers lacked the required stamina
So now Christmas is already a distant alcohol hazed memory did Santa leave anything good in your stocking this year? Were you naughty or nice? Can you remember who you snogged in Refuge/Kalico? I didn’t think so. Did you wake up with one of your co-workers next to you?
Well it’s time to get ready for the main event of New Years Eve. Most of the bars have a much later licence. Kalico has a 30€ door charge and goes on into the very early hours. Big Party, DJ and fireworks on the piste outside the croisette. Although very cold I recommend getting there at 11.50 and spending at least 20 minutes ushering in the new year and taking in the amazing pyrotechnics. You will probably find my sipping on a bottle of Verve until I lose feeling in my fingers.
So until 2010 have a good time and try to remain semi-concious. All the photos from Christmas and New Year will be posted on the enquirer website.
Alpine Excess t-shirts - free delivery in December
After running out of brand names that begin with C and sharing roughly the same length as Courchevel I have transmogrified a certain credit card logo. These can now be purchased directly from the online store on the web site and would make an ideal Christmas present.
For all of December, delivery is completely free.
Please note item shipped from France will take 3-5 days
to arrive in UK. (if the uk post office is not on strike)
I was thinking of you yesterday in the shower

Injury of the week
Jenny(physio), the girl pictured on the right suffering from a nasty case of Eristoff black tongue courtesy of Natives, will forever remember that wearing skimpy dresses can seriously damage your health especially when they come into contact with a rough icy/snowy surface. On the walk home down the piste she lost her footing and her right butt cheek sacrificed itself for the greater good in order to slow her descent. Unfortunately in the process it (the cheek) lost most of the layers of skin that cover its perfectly formed curves. Now even the slightest breeze or touch of fabric brings a tear to her eye. So for the start of 2010 all hand/arse contact is completely out of the question. Anyone who has an inflatable doughnut they can lend her.
Here is a preliminary list of events through out the season
Wed 10th Jan - Natives show love tour, Ski Lodge, La Tania
