The biggest irony of training at the start of the season is that the week is punctuated by social events that have « »an inhibitive impact » on the training itself.
Still, despite the risk to our own personal performances, we still managed to sneak down to the T-Bar to say hi to everyone, and meet up with Verbier’s staff, both old and new (and, after consulting Dr Chris, indulge in a few medicinal shandies).
So thanks to everyone who joined us, and especially to Louis, who turns out to be something of a musical talent, as well as looking a bit like a roadie out of Spinal Tap…
…Louis belts out a few tunes.
…proof that boarders always wear hats.
…the Swedes getting patriotic.
…Sandy amazingly failed to fall over.
…and Toby was – once again – the model of professionalism, if not sobriety…
