The Courchevel End of Season Ball, which has (female) resort staff frantically calling up their best frocks from home, has been scheduled for 12 April.

This lively event will make it a full day's socialising for Courchevel resort workers after a visit in the day over to the Ski Cocktail bumps competition, the Shaker - another essential date in the social calendar.

Tickets are available from the Fat Face shop, Alex Irwin and other reputable establishments throughout resort.
