LA TANIA UPDATE

23 January 2004


Nearly February already! The blur of the opening parties, Christmas, New Year and all the first big snow falls seems a long time ago now. The snow is currently fantastic and we're getting in as much time on the mountain as possible before the half term hordes of February.

Got your number
The Ski Lodge had it's own 10th Anniversary party just before Christmas (School Disco theme) and everyone and anyone who had worked there in the last 10 years "helped" behind the bar. A nightmare if you were actually trying to buy a drink.

The only real memory of New Year was the 118 boys - prancing about in the snow with their old 192 friend, it was very, very funny at the time, believe me. I got your number....

Ski Lodge antics
Then followed the free shots and free skis night, the Natives Show Love party (when all of Meribel and Courchevel invaded our little family, friendly resort) and the joint 40th birthday party of myself and Bozel resident and long time La Tania local Sandy. We had a proper sit down meal for 65 in Lodge du Village over in Meribel Village, followed by a band and party in the upstairs bar until the early hours. All the time it was dumping with snow, but the boys from Three Valley Transfers got everyone back to La Tania in the end - Well done guys and everyone else who made the party a big success, especially Tim and Deb Wall for putting up with us all.

Toss the boss
I didn't recover in time for the legendary Shibboleth's first gig - a rocking night apparently with some "new" Led Zep & Chilli Peppers classics and Whole Lotta Rosie finishing things off. We've got the Ski Lodge Toss the Boss night soon (boss's birthday - heads or tails if you pay for drinks or not) and it won't be long 'til the madness of Mardi Gras, or Shrove Tuesday as we call it.

Special delivery
Also - to the tight ******* who didn't buy a ski jacket - do The Royal Mail now deliver in the Three Valleys or what? Seen last week above Courchevel...

So that's it for now, the snow's great - everything else is just a distraction!
