 Nick(Supertravel) & Matt(TJ's) still having problems getting to grips with
how to properly use a condom |

A note from the editor As the resort starts to empty following the Russian festivities and many hoteliers start to see red in their accounts I thought it was a good time to focus on the credit crunch but from a Courchevel perspective. Inside Ive gone through every area of skiing and found the most expensive items currently available. Everything from the priciest chalet to the dearest skis. Back in the real world Kalico are having an 80s fancy dress night on Tuesday and TJs are doing something with ALOT of toffee vodka on Wednesday. I know its only January but the Seasonnaire hoody forms (featuring the Porsche/Courche logo) are already being distributed. If you havent seen one yet contact your manager. Alex, the editor. |

Lock it or lose it. No matter how many times people are warned about the threat of theft around resort they wander around in a dream world, leaving staff accommodation doors open, leaving their skis/boards unlocked and out of sight in bars/restaurants. I could go on but you get the idea. Would you leave your keys in your cars ignition or leave your apartment unlocked in the middle of London? Do people think that thieves and pikeys dont visit posh ski resorts? Obviously not! Someone recently had TWO pairs of skis stolen in one day, possibly a new record, One pair of hire skis from their staff accommodation and one pair of personal skis from the Rond Point in Meribel. Unlucky? Yes, but Im sure he will buy a tether lock and secure them in the future. Closer to home stories of people walking through staff accommodation at night (while people are asleep) and stealing cash, laptops and ipods with impunity are not new but are getting more and more common as people dont pull outside doors shut behind them. People in smaller accommodation often dont lock their doors behind them after they have returned from a night out so their roommates can get in easily. They might as well hang a sign saying please rob me. Most of the thieving is opportunistic with groups going around just trying doors and every year I write these warnings and every year it makes no difference. So instead of acting like a victim, just follow some simple rules and hopefully your season with be uneventful in that dept and you wont have to go through the hassle of police reports and making insurance claims. |

 It shouldnt happen to a cripple.I dont know what it is about a girl on crutches but it has a similar effect as honey to a bee. Recently injured Debbie(Inghams) was on the receiving end of medical advice from a fellow seasonnaire. In a scene similar to that of a cripple being miraculously healed in Lourdes this physio/barman took her crutches away and started to convince her that she should, not only be walking but maybe start tap dancing. Leaving Debbie precariously balancing on one leg and leaning against a bar stool. Matt(Jump) on the other hand decided to dispense with any medical advice, with the exception of some alcoholic pain relief and just deicded to nick her crutches followed by a demonstartion of how to drunkenly dance on(and almost falling off) the king table. |

 Grand frère is watching youIn a world of increasing surveillance and CCTV it was only a matter of time before Courchevel starting prying into our lives. At the beginning of the season two new cameras have surreptitiously sprung up around resort. One by the piste outside the Jump bar and one overlooking the Kailco from the road. |
