Day Four - Slopestyle
Despite the huge party, the numbers at the ChamJam Slope-style on Thursday weren't diminished. Sadly it wasn't the late night that curtailed proceedings, but the unfortunate white out that made the slope style impossible, forcing it to be rescheduled for Saturday.

No noise allowed

In the meantime, the organisers had spent the whole day in meetings with the Mayor and his side kicks, discussing the inevitable problems that the noise from the night before had caused. There were reports of Kela's vocal trickery from Argentiere, 8 km up the valley. Unfortunately, the Mayor decided that, despite the huge buzz around town and the "clear as crystal" authorisations for a music festival between the hours of 10pm and 4am Wednesday through Saturday, that the Thursday and Friday nights would have to be cancelled. This news filtered through just as David Holmes and his band, the Free Association turned up - the disappointment was tangible.

ChamJamming Action
In the face of this adversity, everyone redirected their energy into the only alternative, turning the Arbate into a pulsing inferno of crazy ChamJammers. The Fingerlickin' trio of Krafty Kuts and Soul of Man were inspirational, and the place was rammed to the tunes of the Dexorcist until the club reluctantly closed it's doors.
