Thanks to everyone who came to see
us at the Ski Show over the weekend (see the pics)
- it was great to find out so many of you had saved money
by using our '2 for 1' ticket offer or through the competition
tickets. Watch out for more ticket offers coming soon!
Whether you made it or
not, here's a few news snippets we picked up...
Overseas News
Saisonniers can look forward
to a new bar in Morzine, likely to be known as the Caverne
or the Taverne. The bar will be right in the centre of town, run
by CdS member Phil 'Marsellus'
Wallis.
In Courchevel's Le
Praz it looks like the Bang Bang bar could be resurrected
as part of the burgeoning underground club scene. Meanwhile
it is also rumoured that 10ff Mutzigs could be back on the
Sunday night Darbeilo menu - welcome news to hard-working
reps wanting to forget transfer day!
Over in La Tania
there's new snowguns which should extend the snowcover and
a new backpackers (more news coming soon to Natives) will
be a god-send to the budget conscious.
One La Tania regular has moved
on however, and will be opening a new bar in Tignes Lavachet.
The new bar will apparently be known as TCs (the website
will be going live soon!). Other bar news sees the Wobbly Rabbit
taken over by French owners and a new bar called Fishtank, run
by CdS member Jeremy Coates,
opening in the centre of Val Claret.
In Meribel, there
are rumours that a large lager company is lining up the
Blind Date of the season, taking 300 budding Romeo's for
a week of Valentine's dating. You can get away from it all
at the Tsaretta in Les Allues which this season will be
under the British ownership by Ski Blanc. There is still
no bar in Le Village though - the £1m price tag set
by the local mafia...sorry, owners...is proving too much.
Online News
The next few weeks will
see a plethora of new sites going live: Complete
Skier's rebranded site, ifyouski, will be followed shortly
their new Dive and Golf sites. The Ski
Club of Great Britain site is going through a redesign
and new player, Online
Travellers launches officially in a couple of weeks.
Gossip!
Word has reached Natives of a lively holiday had by Chris
Evans in Lake Louise last winter. Questions abound
of a ginger connection...
