Number One Report.

Last Wednesday I was in the RED X listening to TREVOR, playing his guitar and singing requests from a rather lively group of Irish skiers. During that evening I danced with a lovely blonde Irish girl called Debbie. She was wearing a figure hugging terracotta dress and calf length leather boots. She looked stunning. This made me think about an earlier report, when I complained, that for five months, I do not get any real ale to drink. Another thing that we miss out here is ladies’ legs. On the slopes they wear ski pants and in the evenings sensible trousers or jeans. Ladies, if you pack a dress and bring suitable shoes that you can carry in a bag to the bars, I can guarantee that you will receive a lot of attention from instructors and other deprived workers.
Every Friday, weather permitting, the ski school holds slalom races. Each instructor has a “gold?” medal to award to the member of his group, who completes the slalom course in the fastest time. The intermediate course is set on Les Fonts, by the very popular Floppy, who trains Argentine boy racers during our summer. The beginners’ course is set near the nursery slope just above the Refugi restaurant and is much easier. These races are filmed and shown in various bars in the evening. This is a very popular event and the bars can get quite crowded during après ski. Many people go on to the Seventies night above El Cau, to hear sounds from the seventies and to watch the Full Monty. Sometimes there are not as many people on the ski slopes on Saturday morning, due to a little over indulgence. But that is another story.
