Wednesday saw the workers challenge, part of the
Natives show love tour, in Meribel. Consisting of both an individual giant slalom and a team slalom. In the individual GS Jamie from
Scott Dunn, Ben from
Powder white and Jen from the Killimandjaro represented
Courchevel 1850 with some performing better than others. Donning her go faster kilt Jen was the first down the course but unfortunately missed one of the final gates resulting in her disqualification.
In a spot of pre race Navy/Airforce baiting James(
Scott Dunn) doned his Army t-shirt and finished 28th in the male skier with a time of 54.64. Finally Ben(
Powder white) finished in 9th place which, after the instructors were removed, equated to 2nd of the workers. Following a mistake by John at the prize giving he was briefly promoted to first until the true winner, Buck, was annonced. A notable mention should also go to Elsa from Powderwhite for a) winning the female seasonnaire category and more importantly b) racing in a figure-hugging leopard print cat suit. (please note no leopards were harmed in the making of the suit).
In the team event
Courchevel were again victorious with Team Swyss (grammar nazis please note this is not a misspelling but actually a new clothing brand) International who cruised their way to the final and beyond.
