X Games and then some

One of the biggest alpine freestyle competitions had come to Tignes and the hype was insane over in Val so we went over in the “JW Hippo” to check it out

Fraser’s being that days designated driver pulled into a car park that was clearly built for smart cars, after nearly ripping the roof off and Fraser shedding a few tears we parked up nearer the pipe OUTSIDE and headed over to the super pipe.

This bad boy was huge !!!!!!!!

The day was only a warm up for the final on Friday but it was still amazing to get a sense of the atmosphere.

A well earned burger and a pint after such a hard day ‘s work

A cheeky bit of stash goes a long way in Tignes

The next day the whole team gathered for the best day of the season to watch Bobby Brown pull some insane tricks out the bag in the men’s slope style final, you would think we were all at a firework display from the oooo’s and aaaaaaaa’s.

Excuse will’s head

A lot of sunburnt seasonnaires after that day, but what a view !!!
After the comp we popped into the Folley Douch for a quick formal Friday.
This was a Friday with a twist, we had a British millionare in that day who announced over the mic that it was a free bar.................62,000 Euros later the whole mountain was very naked and very very drunk.

Every other person was lugging one of these around !!!

Focus on the naked table in the center, this was soley due to the millionare in question announcing over the mic that the best dancer in the joint would get the remainder of their season paid for by him.
Roughly translated as “take all of your clothes off and drunkenly gesticulate in my direction”

Kelly pulled off his fur coat and showed his true colours.......probably the best product placement in resort, good from you Kelly


Down at La daille, relaxing with the remainder of our champers hoard.
A very relaxed next day with a trip to the market to get our weekly fix of local wines, meat and cheese


I LOVE IT OUT HERE !!!!
