It makes me wonder when I see the relative inactivity of seasonnaires around resort. Most of the time I hear from you that
Courchevel doesn't have any good aprÃs ski. Generally I agree and compared to the Rond Point in Meribel
Courchevel has nothing similar. What really annoys me is when places around
Courchevel attempt to provide cheap drinks and live bands nobody bothers to take advantage of them. On Monday the
Kalico had 4play, one of the best bands in the alps, playing. Only 20 people where there to hear them. On Wednesday they hosted the brilliant Bring your Sisters band. Again apart from some Jump staff, old school seasonnaires and a few Crystal nannies the place was deserted.
ìBut we didnÃt know about itî I hear you exclaim. Now as well as the back page of the enquirer (I know no one actually reads the enquirer they just look at the photos) there have been many posters around town, emails have sent to managers around resort, website has been revamped and still people claim a lack of awareness. Is everyone walking around resort with their fingers in their ears looking down at their feet instead of taking in their surroundings? DonÃt you get bored doing the same thing night after night? If people don't support such events then venues like
Kalico won't bother in the future.
Which takes me neatly onto the theme nights. Last Wednesday, after two weeks of solidly gathering support and spreading the word, only the lovely Eve and Sarah from
Scott Dunn bothered to dress up. Even free toffee vodka wasn't enough to lure people into action. Now considering the time and effort put into publicising such things and the fact I don't benefit in anyway even if it's a success it makes me question why I should even bother in the future.
Answers on a postcard please.
