The Mountain Echo

Week nine has come and gone. The weather could have been better for it but it didn’t seem to dampen too many spirits. Seems like we’re in the midst of a season where it’s not quite snowing snowing, but loads of overcast days with little bits of snow. Where’s the dump?! I think if we all think about it hard enough and do whatever ritual, dance or prayer you can to the snow gods it will happen.

The X-games hits Tignes this week for three days in the first ever European version of the event. They are bringing a lot of the big names from the States so it should prove quite the spectacle. If our petitions to the gods don’t work, then if there’s ever a sure way of making it snow it’s holding a big outdoor event!

The season is heading into the latter stages in some ways as, while we still have a lot of time left, it goes quickly so don’t waste it. We’ve got an article to help pump you up again.

I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around.

Well that was Febuary, it’s gone super quick for us here so roll on March. In recent years it has been the heaviest month for snow. It is week nine this week which means it’s time to hand the resort over to the Scandanavians, in particular the Swedish. There is a good chance you will fall in love several times next week, just watch your back as many may not have
come to age yet.

Last week saw the first Angels and Demons party which as ever was fairly interesting. The new thing this week is the Jack Wills party at the Folie on Friday, dress code formal. Should be a good one.

Our offerings this week are what to do on a bad weather day in Val, as we seem to be having a few this season and explaining the illness that is mid season blues. Lets hope your on the other side of it already.

From the entries in our photo comp recently it seems the park is in full swing with some of the World’s best making an appearance last week. So whatever tickles your fancy have a good week. MB

After massive tension last week, some of you may have noticed Freddie is finally working. It has been some kind of battle and I’d just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped along the way. Whether that has been moving, taking down door ways, fixing him, sorting out the Xerox guys or simply putting up with my whining. I just hope he doesn’t break!

It has been a massively busy week around town and on the slopes but pretty quiet in the bars. Next week it dies off a little but the Scandinavians are just around the corner with all that they entail.

The Olympics are in full swing and over half way through already so make sure you don’t miss them as at a cost of at least $2.5 billion they must be good.

Have a good one MB
