One of the benefits are being an old fart in a ski resort is that you do get invited to a few ski companies test meals. Last Thursday I had the pleasure of being invited to the Dahu to experience their fine hospitality. If I knew of anyone who wanted to come out on holiday I would highly recommend them.
I only had one problem, not as test guest but as a seasonnaire. Through out the evening all the member of staff who were on duty worked excellently and made me feel very welcome. The problem I had was about the rest of the off duty
Mark Warner staff sitting in a corner talking to each other and in not way mingling with the selected cross section of
Courchevel 1850.
If I had been in that situation I would have wanted to introduce myself to, the bar mangers, the bar staff, the managers of the ski-schools, Whitestuff and Fatface to name just a few. That way when I would go into any of their establishments later in the season I wouldn't have to convince them that 'I'm a seasonnaire'.
Before you know it, Christmas and New Year will be a distant memory and the 5 months winter season will have flown past.
You will look back and say that you should have done more with your winter, savouring every experience that it throws at you.
So your task for this week (and this is aimed at all ski companies) is to introduce yourself and chat to a complete stranger (seasonnaire) in a bar. You might suprise yourself with the results.
