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...

Jack Wills Seasonnaire Party Tomorrow...

Watch this space....!

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

Just for Sophie....!

Bananas girls are the... BEST!

'This shit is Bananas, B A N A N A S!'

Soooo... the other day, we were bored at work, and Ricky (my boss) asked me to write the Bananas logo on the chalk board outside... It is far harder than it looks to get central and looking good... so this seemingly simple task ended up taking quite a while!

Anyway... once done, Ricky couldnt decide what to put on the board, so... we made our own signs...

We then decided to entice the punters by advertising Annettes assets to passers by...

This went down very well, with a lot of enquiries! Unfortunately they weren't too pleased when I explained that it was a joke... oh well... all good fun!

Jack Wills Video Competition

Calling all seasonnaires...!

The winning video wins 650 euros in CASH to be spent on what ever they wish! (Not going to lie... it will probably end up behind the bar in Folie or Dicks!)

Closing date is 25th of March and two runners up win GOGGLES...!

Do it.... do it.... do it....!

Chilling out at the X Games

This year Tignes hosted the first ever European X games. All of the seasonnaires got quite excited at the sight of the Super Pipe and there was a mass expedition from Val D’Isere to Tignes to watch the events.

Oh my gosh- the riders were amazing… back flips and 360’s galore.

I felt quite sorry for one guy who had done some amazing tricks before stacking it at the end to a crowd of boo’s… mean!!! It was a bit like a mini festival but without the mud and rain. David Guetta made an appearance for one night only and provided plenty of entertainment for the evening shenanigans!

Day 3 of the X games and the weather did not disappoint; so we whacked on our skis and boots and headed across to Tignes again. It was such a nice day that we found a great sunny spot slightly off piste half way up the Double M red run. Soaking up the rays and watching the mega jumps being taken on was awesome!

Penguining down the hill!

Chilling on the mountain!

Steph and Beazel

Loads of fun

That’s all for now…

A little trip to Bourg

The Jack Wills Land Rover has come to town! Hand delivered by the Jack Wills crew last week, the land rover is the symbol of freedom! Having not actually left Val d’Isere since I arrived in November (apart from the odd trip to Bourg hospital), we are all beginning to get a little sense of cabin fever, so our small trip to the supermarket was a very exciting event!

Having collected the keys off Fraser, I had a drive around Val’s one way system first to get a feel for the beast, and then myself, Kay and Steph headed on down to Bourg!

We were very short on Diesel so I wasn’t sure if we’d make it all the way; also was a little concerned that I was going to drive off a cliff because the French don’t seem to see the need for safety barriers separating the road from sheer drops however we survived the voyage and pulled into Bourg ‘Super U’ in one piece!

Parking was interesting especially considering that the handbrake had broken, so we had a very professional technique of ensuring that the landy wasn’t going to roll away… leave it in reverse, turn the steering wheel away from other cars and wiggle…!

Once in Super U we had a field day with all the reasonably priced toiletries and food! You can actually buy a box of cereal for less than 3 euros! Amazing and fairly unheard of in Val.

Had a small issue at the checkout when Steph hadn’t weighed her carrots so the checkout lady went a bit mental at her! When Steph explained that in England we generally weigh them at the checkout she instructed Steph to go back immediately and weigh her carrots! This then led to Steph putting the carrots back having decided that they were far too much hassle, which then led to the checkout lady calling Steph crazy and questioning why she had picked up the carrots in the first place if she didn’t want them- yes Steph, why did you do that?! Why why why?!?!?!?!

Following on from this little trauma came a much larger one… we broke the car wash!

The land rover was absolutely filthy after being driven all through France by the boys on their tour of the ski resorts, so I thought that it could do with a clean! Seeing a perfectly good car wash, we asked the lady at the petrol station if we would be ok to take the land rover through it… she said yes, so this is what we did…

All fine and well until it stopped whilst we were half way through…!

This then led to us all massively panicking and realising that the only way out was the way that we had come in… given that there was now a queue of cars behind us, we had to reverse and off road it up a grass verge to get around the broken car wash!

It’s all fine though because the Land Rover is very inconspicuous so they will never know that it was us who broke it! Haha!

So anyway, despite one or two dramas, the trip went relatively smoothly and I think we successfully promoted Jack Wills to the people of Bourg having been tooted at a few times, and being stopped for photos in car parks. Mission accomplished and we safely returned to Val stocked up on cereal and with no carrots in sight!

Lots of love
