 Day
Three - Boss des Bosses
Wednesday blessed us with yet another
perfect day for the Natives.co.uk Boss des Bosses. Chamonix quaked
at the sounds of the troops rolling in from other resorts.
Soaking up the sun
The atmosphere at the bottom of the race course buzzed as rivalry
hotted up, and over 1000 season workers from all over the Alps gathered
to soak up the sun and urge their bump skiers to new heights. Tom
Banfield, the founder of the Boss des Bosses, was overheard saying
it was one of the best Boss des Bosses yet. Iain Martin, Natives
MD described it as 'a return to the old school days of the 90s when
there was a real excitement about the competition'
Incredible Air
We saw some crazy jumps off the kicker at the end of the mogul run,
with plenty of flips being thrown in for good measure. It was a
close run thing, but Zermatt won overall, beating Meribel in the
final. Following closely were the home team of Chamonix, then Courcheval,
Val d'Isere, and Val Thorens.
One huge party
The party continued in full swing down at the inaugural Cirque du
ChamJam in the centre of town, an enormous marquee housing the best
in European sound systems, alongside a wall to wall bar. The Boss
des Bosses party fused effortlessly with the first night of the
Cirque du ChamJam line up - the awesome Killa Kela wowed the crowds
with his unbelievable beatboxing, whipping the crowds up into a
mad frenzy. Amon Tobin followed, playing his melange of bass heavy
eclecticism to the growing crowds, the last of which were seen departing
the marquee at around 4am.
