Still going strong
You would not believe it is April! Sunday night saw a massive dump of snow, and the sun has been shining since then and it is due to snow again tonight.. Talk about April showers! All this snow means that the pistes are in great nick and the conditions for the last weeks of the season are looking great!

Radio Val - now I'm not sure what the real story is but ever since Europe 2 disappeared from the airwaves on April 1 this is the best radio station in the world! Apparently there had been a long running dispute which culminated in both sides going their separate ways at the beginning of this month. Funky tunes now fill the airwaves in both Tignes & Val and let's hope that it stays that way!

Waste of time and money
Finally, after weeks of intense speculation it was the P.W.O.F.T.A.M's on Monday night - which might explain why we all felt a little fragile on Tuesday. For those of you who don't know, the original W.O.F.T.A.M's are the annual 'Waste Of Time And Money' Awards voted for in resort and at Precision we have our own very special take on the event.

Categories range from look-alikes to biggest fashion faux pas and many slightly more risqué! Nathan did a fantastic job as compere for the evening, not known as the shy & retiring type anyway, the banter was excellent and the stars of the evenings were definitely the trophies that Anders had spent several hours slaving over… gold beer glasses, golden boots, golden buttocks & a whole lot more!

Resort W.O.F.T.A.M's were due to take place last night but were postponed due to a power cut, they are set to take place on Friday night instead – results soon... That’s it from sunny Val d’Isère!
