You might be forgiven for thinking that it's been back to school theme night all week. Alas no, it is something 100 times worse. ? term has descended on
Courchevel meaning that the usually quiet bars and the lifts have been overrun by hoards of 16 year olds all after one thing(two actually but one usually lead to the other). Alcohol & sex! Now underage drinking is nothing new but in the mountains it is given a new dimension. Kids, whose voices wouldn't sound out of place in a church boys choir, try and lower them by a few octaves while trying to remember what they want to drink and what their new 18 year old birth date is. No small feat and one that invariably falls flat on its face in the manner of Naomi Campbell wearing platform heals.
After a very slow start on Wednesday night by midnight it really started to go off. Punk was the way forward with bent paperclips, safety pins and torn shirts behind all the bars.
Giles and Hugo were wearing some very scary (brand new) one-piece ski suits recently recovered from the lost and (I don't want to be) found in Hotel Croisette.
