Fancy Dress St Paddy's Day Snowblading

So it's that time of year again where you dust off those blades you have at the back of the cupboard and whack on some lary outfit. It's St Paddy's day and that means only one thing... "Gayblading".

We met at the bottom of the Olympic bubble lift at 1:00pm and some of the fancy dress was special. We got the bubble up and some people werea little apprehensive.



But then the lunging began and everyone eased into it.



A crack team of 13 bladers hit the slopes of Val d'Isere



Special mention goes to Brossers and Green Beard's onesies...



We headed off to the grand pre and did a casual run down the long wide green to ease everyone into it. It went well. Everyone got their blading legs back. Some more quickly than others for sure. Ali and Will even decided to ride the lift switch (skiing term for backwards)... Solid effort.



Teddy couldnt even get on the lift



After that we decided to do a bit of off piste blading. McLovin came prepared with onesie and beeper... So he led the charge.



Can you ever have as much fun as this... I think not. Saying that, blading in skinny jeans is tough!



We then ran into a punter who was dressed just like us... accept he was not in fancy dress.



Timmy Tarquinn turned up fashionably late to make the party 14.



He led the charge on the blade train to La Folie Douce.



The place was rammed. St Patrick definitely brings out the drinkers.



Obviously a leprechaun or two turned up.



We then headed down the mountain for some apres at dicks. A good day blading was had by all.



Thanks... Until next time.
