You will hear a lot of avalanche talk Over the winter In the hope that being aware Will make you wary And save lives.
Sad to have to include this news On Saturday Five German climbers were killed By an avalanche in the Dolomites. Including a seventeen year old girl And her father.
There will of course be an investigation Questions always include If new snow was on an unstable base Or if the temperature And time of day Was a lethal factor.
As you know Skiing off piste In the afternoon Is frowned upon.

Two more bits of bad news
Thirty nine year old French cycling champion Mother of two Cindy Morvan was shot dead Before the apparent murderer Committed suicide.

Something that happens Every year In every country…….
This time In the Haute Savoie Five friends having Friday night fun Their car hits a tree The seventeen year old driver And front seat passenger were killed. The three other fifteen year old passengers Are all badly injured. I don’t know if it was the driver’s fault It could have been mechanical Or a problem on the road
Feel terrible for all the families and friends.

Do you fancy skiing in Georgia The Georgia near Russia Not back in the USA
They now have electric snowcats….. Seven hundred horse powere can take 12 skiers, or boarders

We all like a fondue…. Almost obligatory part of a ski holiday ! Be careful……… One caused the fire That gutted the Swiss Glacier 3000 restaurant In 20 22. The 40 year old former catering manager will appear in court next week charged with negligence
She wasn’t the one who put the cooker away Without turning it off
The kit was new and The staff member who stacked it Hadn’t been properly trained………
It was a big fire…… Affecting the self-service restaurant, The main restaurant And lift machinery.
At least no-one was injured. The newly refurbished restaurant At a cost of 30 million swiss Francs Bet it is beautiful !

Do you ever ski in Jeans ? Did you ever ski in Jeans ?
Three good reasons not to………… Not waterproof Not warm Tricky with ski boots……
Jackson Hole’s Has become an annual event…….. The 3rd is at the Beginning of December And it is hoping to break its own World record For the number of people skiing in denim
Not just about looking cool… Discount lift passes and rental prices Music, prizes, drinks and a Mechanical bull….
A friend of mine skied in Jeans Once. His first day ever on skis….
He wasn’t going to wear Uncool salopettes……..
Got on the chairlift. Didn’t realise you had to ski off……… Went around Through the barrier Stopped the lift Had people shouting at him
Instead of admitting The obvious….. He continued to be ‘cool’ So jumped off………… Into a very very deep Mound of loose snow………
Had to be dug out………
Not sure how he got down As these were his first turns on skis……..

Gender testing… The US Olympic and Paralymic Committee Has begun testing female athletes Before the Italian Olympics. It is to protect women’s sports. The only fair and transparent way. Relying on science and biological facts. No-one with a Y chromosome can compete as a woman.

Bit of a dearth ……….can’t celebrate Housewives, sandwiches or traffic directors so it will have to be Great British Game week………..partly because, despite being British, I have NO IDEA what it is Or didn’t until I looked it up For YOUR benefit
Was thinking football Rugby Tennis Golf Or monopoly……………
Maybe something like the games weekend The Vie Val d’Is hosted in September WRONG ! Dead wild animals ! Promoted with recipes, events, dinners and special offers.
Lots of healthy advantages over supermarket meats Lean High in protein Low in fat With a bonus low carbon footprint.
See you tomorrow.
