MY NEW SKISSSSSSSS!!!

Sooooo... guess what Mr Wills bought me....

Yes... a new pair of skiiiis! Woooo!!!

They are super duper lovely and speedy!
They are ZAG multi purpose...not tooo sure what they do, but they are goooood!
Not going to lie... slightly chose them based on the graphics, but i think that i made a good choice!
We've nicknamed them 'Britney' based on my nickname at bananas, and so far Britney has performed well!!!
Thanks Jack Wills.... you are super stars for getting me some new skis... I love them!
Lots of love

Greeneye Challenge

The Greeneye Challenge is an annual event in Val and is essentially just a perfect excuse to get extremely hammered and have a bloody good time!

We didn't personally take part in the race (which is basically a treasure trail around Val d'Isere and the mountains with check points at various points) however as Annette was one of the check points, we decided to keep her company for the afternoon at Folie...

We arrived at Folie to find Annette bra-less... she claims that someone had stolen it, but i do believe that she might have given it away because it is pretty difficult to 'steal' a bra when someone is wearing it!

This then proceeded to me lending her my bra in return for a bottle of Rose...! (She was in a white top and I was in a hoodie so it wasnt thaaaaaat bad!)

We all started on the Rose pretty early, and I am proud to say that we were the first on the tables!
Raving away!
Al and Steph
Bird boogying!
Me and Bird!
There were quite a few champagne fights going on and Laurent managed to get absolutely covered...



Our little crew!

Annette after being attacked by Champagne!
We befriended some bloke who was fully getting into the Folie spirit!
When Folie finished at 5ish, we attempted to ski down, bottle of Rose in hand, slightly worse for wear!

This was all fine until the French Police chased us down (apparently we arent allowed Rose on the piste!) This then proceeded to me staking it, loosing both skis and having to ask the police to get them from half way up the mountain for me! Pretty funny! Unfortunately our Rose was confiscated but apart from this, we made it down unscathed and headed to Saloon...!
Hands down this was the best Folie sesh yet!
Lots of love

Stephs Birthday!

Steph turned 22 this week, so we had champagne breakfast and Fruitier lunch!

Birthday Champagne!


Later on we had dinner at Viktors which was really nice.



Steph and her birthday cocktails...

We successfully got Steph suitably drunk and headed to Saloon...

I think Steph enjoyed herself...!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!
Lots of love

Folie Freestyle Competition

This week a huge freestyle jump cropped up on the Face! Not going to lie... it was a pretty big jump!
It was sponsored by Folie Douce I think, because the Folie DJ, Kelly and loads of Folie bits and bobs were there!
It was a really nice atmosphere as there were stands and wierd cats on stilts wandering around....!
Generally all of the riders were pretty good, but there were rather a lot of falls... I think it was something to do with sticky snow or the slope being too short or something... but there were still some awesome jumps and they did far better than any of my attempts!


Afterwards there was a bit of a party on the slopes, which was good... DJ Davide was pumping out some beats!
Aaah yet another awesome night in Val!
Lots of love

Jack Wills Seasonnaires Party- take 2!

The final Jack Wills Party took place on Friday and what a party it was!

We woke up to a complete white out and lots of much needed snow... not good for Folie sessions however and we all got a slight feeling of deja vue as we remembered the blizzard that happened for the first Jack Wills party...

However, it seemed that all was not lost as the weather cleared a little and we all braved it up the hill to rave away on the tables in Folie!


Got a few shout outs from Kelly as we put all of the Seasonnaire banners up and even got to go into the DJ boothe avec DJ Daviddeeeee!!! Woooo Hoooo! (Think this made my day a little!) Oh and bumping into Ned from Neighbours.....

Aaaah what a ledgend! Got him wearing a Jack Wills Beanie... which might I add, he absolutely LOVED! What a brand ambassador to have!

So the whole day turned out to be awesome fun, and there was a sea of Beanies throughout the Folie...

Soph and BT!
Some more table raving!

The Jack Wills crew strutting their funky stuff in VIP... shame this isnt a video, because there were some definate shapes being thrown around by Jono!
The party continued in Dicks... however unfortunately I was having far too much fun to take piccies... but I assure you it was immense fun and the Jack Wills DJs went down a storm.
Until next time...

Day trip to Annecy

After 4 months of shop deprivation, we felt that it was about time to go on a bit of a shopping spree, so we took the Jack Wills Land Rover and headed to Annecy for a spot of retail therapy!

After a 2 hour little road trip we pulled into Annecy and avoided the multi- storey car park in favour of a little spot by the lake! (Learning from Frasers mistakes after he narrowly avoided getting the car wedged in a car park in Tignes!)

Annecy is so so pretty... the lake is absolutely beautiful and the buildings were so nice! We initialy went purely for the shops (and definately came back to Val nicely stocked up on clothes) but it was actually so lovely and warm that we had a little wander around.

Pretty little buildings!

The river.

Annecy was really fun... the only thing it is missing is a Jack Wills shop!
Lots of love
