Snow snow snow
New Years Eve 2004 proved to be an epic, fresh snow during
the afternoon whitened up the village nicely but it cleared up at
night.
Rocket launchers
and champagne
For the last few days teenage children have
been making the most of the firework opportunities (in the supermarkets
here you can buy ones that look like rocket launchers) so by the
big night it was like downtown Basra. The bars & restaurants had
been heaving all evening & by 11.45 there were several thousand
people in the church square.

Jump around
As per last year even though the authorities had provided a 'sound
system' there was no big countdown to midnight but we all jumped
around & got covered in champagne & beer anyway, shame about the
lack of Church bells but never the less a great atmosphere. Many
of the bars were charging extortionate amounts of money to get in
but not the North Wall
or Central both of which hosted great parties all night.
 One
for the ladies
The last revelers staggered out the central at 11.00am. New Years
morning was the time to ski for those that got to bed early enough,
the quietest day on the mountain for some time. Snow conditions
have steadily improved all week & January is looking hopeful, as
was Mark Harris (right) on New Year's morning.
