Performance retained the annual bowling trophy last night by a whisker. A very thin lucky whisker at that.

We had storming performances at the end from – notably from Bond and Hetti – but I think it’s safe to say Kent, Toby Olly, Stu and Moray dragged us over the line in the second and third sets.

And the result was we came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1. Cynics might point out we’d drunk a lot more beer and eaten a lot of pizza around the time the tide turned. Who would have thought a drink and a bit of food would prove so effective for the Performance team…

Thanks everyone – especially Powder Extreme who frankly at one point looked like they were going to spank us. Felix, Anders, Ben and Mikey were on fire at one point. Unlucky guys.

I’m afraid the cloud is coming this afternoon and sadly for anybody expecting powder it might be a bit cloudy with no real reward. But cross your fingers and it might be good…

Ok, I know we should bang the drum about Verbier and how great it is. And it is great. But never forget the Four Valleys. Because they rock.

We’ve been over at Greppon Blanc and the conditions are fantastic. I know the drag lift saps a little price of your soul but the piste (and stuff at the sides) more than makes up for it.

So get your piste map put and explore.

Yes today was pretty good. Started cold, the sun shone like it was going out of fashion and it warmed up in the afternoon. And let me tell you, the Marmotte terrace is no bad place to be on days like this.

Anyway, here are a few snaps…
