Show Love Speed Dating in Val d'Isere

24 January 2006 00:00


Speed Dating in Val d'IsereLes Deux Alpes and Alpe d'Huez were huge, but Val d'Isere always steps up and delivers one of the biggest nights of the Show Love Tour. With Natives Resort Reporter, Kelly, taking control and organising a Show Love Speed Date evening, the Saloon Bar was the place to check out Val d'Isere's top talent on Tuesday 17 January. Matt Kingsnorth, reporting for Natives, sent news from the night:

Natives Show Love Tour brings out the hotties
The Show Love Tour brought ‘Speed Dating’ to the Saloon Bar in Val D’Isere. Some of the boys looked slightly nervous as they got their numbers from Kelly and Kelly, who sent them to stand in their places for the night. The girls on the other hand, looked more than up for it as the evening commenced.

Mark Warner girls, Tori and Vix, from The Toviere and The Moris seemed to miss the idea slightly by falling for each other early on in the night. But everyone else seemed to get into the swing of things for their 2 minute speed dates.

As the place got busier and the bar noise stepped up a level, Jonny the compere decided to abandon the massive PA system (one tinny speaker), in favour of he and Matt walking around hollering “That’s your 2 minutes, move on to your next dates please…”

It all seemed to go pretty well and a good few numbers (and possibly more than just numbers) were exchanged. But even those not leaving with someone on their arm, got the chance to leave with their hands full, thanks to the Natives Show Love Tour sponsors. Fat Face gear, Rossignol T-shirts, Spy Optic glasses, Schuss games and Verbier Ride DVDs, as well as Natives beanies and T-shirts, were handed out to the most enthusiastic in the crowd.

All in all, everyone seemed to have a great night and the Saloon was absolutely heaving with seasonal staff by about 11pm. Roll on the next Natives night in March!
