It's arrived. Maybe. Vaguely. There's enough snow to make most of the off-piste do-able at last, but you still count your edges in at night. Personally, I now have three. Not ideal, but still one more than most boarders. But before fortune smiled on us, or at least winked, because there's still plenty of space left for some more of the white stuff.
The rules of the game are as simple as the girl who failed the nanny interview: you dress as something, or someone beginning with the letter P. The party itself, however, is a sophisticated cross cultural affair: Valhallan magnitudes of alcohol are consumed, whilst indulging in a level of sexual debauchery which would make a Parisian countess blush beneath her sequinned mask.
No one knows why Osama Bin Lardin was there.
Rumours had been circulating for weeks that he was in resort,
so it may just have been coincidence. Other than Pursued Person
he didn't really seem to fit the theme. But as the photos
show, by the end of the night Osama had indeed 'bin largin'.
Needless to say, the Paramedics were kept at bay long enough

Way
back last week, drinking was the number one sport in VT. To
relieve the monotony of serial inebriation, some bright spark
(Skiworld Emma, I believe) decided to launch a P party. 
Sadly
no one came as a Parisian Countess, but there were some wicked
costumes. Enough Prostitutes to service every Piss Artist
in the resort.Political Correctness wasn't a popular choice,
but Poofter was; and there were plenty of Puppies to go around.
In fact even the Puppies got out their puppies. Prince and
Princess, Penalty Takers, a Playboy Bunny, Punks, Pussy, a
somewhat unoriginal but particularly dashing Pirate, a Poo,
a Parcel, and a Prostate Surgeon swelled the ranks. 
But
the belle of the ball was undoubtedly Rick's chillingly authentic
Punter. Doubly praise worthy because he did his chalet visits
in costume without anyone guessing what he was going as. Look
in the mirror Billy.
