Good Food at Great Prices

Mont Blancor the White Mountain, is best viewed on a clear day in Les Gets from the top of Le Ranfoilly. From the Ranfoilly bowl take the Ranfoilly chair lift up to 1825m to the viewing platform.

Mont Blanc lies between the ski resort of Courmayeur in the Italian Aosta Valley and Chamonix in the French region of Haute-Savoie. A cable car ascends and crosses Mont Blanc from both resorts, which you might spot if you have a very strong pair of binoculars! In 1965 an 11.6km tunnel opened beneath Mont Blanc and it quickly became one of the busiest Trans-Alpine transport routes.

It is believed that over 20,000 mountaineer-tourists summit Mont Blanc each year and despite its height the climb is considered to be an easy, yet long ascent.

Mont Blanc is 4,810.45m above sea level and is the highest mountain in the Alps. It is of particular signifi cance to the Portes du Soleil ski area as it is said to encourage the creation of a microclimate, which dumps a load of snow over the area during the winter. So cross your fi ngers while you’re up there looking at it!

Mont Blanc


Jenny Jones, 31, is a British snowboarding legend. Fact.

Four X game medals, an international following and an awesome attitude say so.

Here at yodel we were thrilled that she took the time to answer a few questions we had for her…

5


How long have you been snowboarding for and how did you first get into it?

I first started snowboarding when I was about 17, my brothers and I had a free half hour lesson on our local dry slope. I then decided to go on a college trip to the Italian Alps and had a brilliant time. After my A levels I deferred a year from college and worked as a chalet maid in the French Alps so I could snowboard everyday.

What is your favourite European ski resort?

I like several resorts so it’s hard to say. The atmosphere in Morzine / Avoriaz is great and it has a bit of everything; beginning parks, tree runs and some powder sections. I think Mayrhofen has an awesome terrain park, it also has great powder runs but I am yet to discover them all. Another place I really enjoyed for fun off-piste was St Anton.

What's been your luckiest escape?

I would say when some friends and I were filming some heli-boarding in Europe and we landed on one of the peaks - nothing too crazy though. I was the first to descend and as I put in my first turn all the snow underneath me was suddenly moving. I had to do my best to ride out to one side, I had set off an avalanche and managed to get out near the top. We all watched as the snow made its way to the bottom in a big mushroom cloud. It was very frightening and it put me on edge the whole rest of the day. I would say that was an escape!

What would you have been if you hadn’t become a pro snowboarder?

I expect I would have gone to university - I was planning on studying advertising and marketing or teaching. If I could surf from a young age then for sure I would have liked to be a pro surfer, I enjoy

the sport so much and it’s kind of the opposite of snowboarding when it comes to hot and cold destinations.

What are you most excited about in the next 6 months?

Going snowboarding, riding powder, hitting jumps, learning tricks, having a few cheeky vin chauds. I guess I just still get very excited to go riding. Boring answer sorry.

You have done eight seasons, what would your top pieces of advice be to new seasonaires?

Yes you’re going for six months but I promise you that time flies by, for sure have some good nights out but don’t waste too many of your riding days with a hangover. You will regret it…unless that is you are going for the nights out and don’t care about the riding part, ha. Be careful discovering the off-piste, go with someone who knows the area and find out about how snow conditions work, how they affect which powder slopes you can ride on what days. Learn about transceivers, probes and shovels. Get friendly with the local bouncers, you’re going to need them for the next few months. Get the gear you want at the start of the season, you will be riding so much and will get your money's worth. Get insurance - no question. Maybe don’t snog the people you’re working with at the beginning of the season. There are lots of choices elsewhere, you don’t want that awkward weird thing all season.

Who do you most admire?

The weekend warrior who shreds from first lift to last lift and then sends it at the bar afterwards. These are the folks who just love riding for riding.

You've torn your ACL before, what other snowboarding injuries have you had?

and I now have six-inch metal plates. I’ve also chipped a shoulder bone, broken my foot, two bad ankle sprains, fractured tailbone, several concussions and plenty of bruises!

What's your biggest achievement in life?

Making a career out of something I love and still enjoying it.

What are the five most important things in your life?

Friends, family, love, snowboarding and surfing in no particular order.

Yodel is entering the Snow Camp Everest Challenge. What do you think of the charity and its aims?

I think this is a great charity and have donated several bits of gear to the group. To be able to give these kids a chance to try something completely different in beautiful surroundings is great. The feeling of achievement they hopefully gain and the skills they learn will be priceless. What a brilliant challenge the Everest challenge is. I hope you get some pre season training in before this begins otherwise you are going to be suffering!!

Would you like to join Yodel's team for the Snow Camp Everest Challenge?

Hahaha I would love to but (and

you know there’s a but) it is right in the middle of my winter season and due to my schedule I genuinely can’t. I do wish you all the best though and keep me posted on how you get on please.

Tell us your favourite joke…

Why did the baker have smelly hands? Because he kneaded a poo.

Describe your perfect day…

Not necessarily a perfect day but a bloody good one…tonnes of powder on a great pitch that you know is uber safe, riding with a bunch of mates minus any crowds. A late afternoon in a slightly slushy terrain park with fun jumps learning tricks then a nice powder home run to the bar for some cheeky drinks; gin and ginger beers and some cocktails. A good live band followed by a funk soul DJ and a lot of dancing. What advice do you give to the aspiring pro female snowboarders that you meet?

Focus not on what everyone else is doing but on what you want to achieve and how you’re going to achieve it. Keep enjoying yourself and you will get there step by step.

If the day ever comes that you stop riding professionally, what do you think you will become?

A surf bum. 7

Before your holiday…To make sure your body is in the best condition for ensuring you get the most out of your ski holiday, consume a healthy balanced diet. You will need to have optimised energy stores before the start of your holiday so you get the most out of your ski holiday.

During your holiday…Your skiing performance whilst on holiday will be affected by several nutritional factors. Firstly, as something we tend to forget about when we are on the slopes, hydration is key to delaying the onset of fatigue – something we all experience during a hard days skiing. Not only do you fatigue quicker, the all too familiar mid-afternoon dip, but being dehydrated can affect your concentration which is crucial for negotiating your way down a slope – whatever level of skiing you may be at. But who feels like drinking whilst on the snow?! Being at altitude means the air is drier so we exhale more water when we breathe. Being out in the cold, we generally don’t tend to think about taking on fluids during a hard days skiing. Combined with the notoriously inaccessible bathroom facilities on the mountain we simply don’t consume enough fluids – and no not the alcoholic kind! Lastly, if you don’t consume enough food and therefore energy during the day then you won’t have the energy to ski as well as you could or ski for as long as you may want to. Carbohydrates are the main fuel used by the body when skiing. If you don’t consume enough carbohydrate, then your muscles will have diminished energy stores, in the form of glycogen. With sub-optimal energy stores, your body will become fatigued much easier and quicker, which will directly affect your

skiing performance. In addition, carrying heavy equipment and the effect of altitude altering your metabolism, your overall energy requirements will be increased.

So what should we eat?Firstly, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and even more so when you are going to be spending a day on the slopes so this meal should not be missed. Try to base this around carbohydrates; a warming bowl of porridge will release its energy slowly throughout the morning compared with a bowl of cereal or toast and jam. Try adding stewed, fresh or dried fruit to your porridge to include 1 of your 5-a-day. A glass of juice also counts as another portion (no more than 1 glass counts as a portion in a day) and will contribute towards your daily fluid. Alternatively, a cooked option such as scrambled eggs on toast is a good healthy choice.

To keep hydrated during a morning of skiing, try and plan in a quick pit-stop mid-morning for a hot chocolate or tea using this chance to have a snack and top up your energy levels. Good snack ideas are dried fruit, which are easy to take with you; a pancake with chocolate and banana or a cereal bar. If you have a backpack then take a bottle of water with you or even fill up your camelbak if you have one.

For lunch, again base this on carbohydrates such as potatoes or pasta or bread to top up fuel stores and energy levels to set you up for an afternoon of skiing. A bowl of soup and a baguette; tartiflette and pasta dishes are the kind of foods to have at lunch and are nice and warming. Remember to include some vegetables in your lunch, whether it's a

side salad or vegetables or a vegetable soup to provide essential vitamins and minerals. Don’t forget to take on some essential fluids to keep you hydrated and avoid fatigue.

Once back in your chalet after a days skiing, this will be a key window of opportunity to replenish your energy stores so a slice of cake; bread and jam or a piece of fresh fruit in the afternoon are good foods to enable fast recovery. Of course don’t forget a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate to top up fluids! Remember, fluids don’t have to be in the form of plain water, they can be any liquid such as soft drinks, tea and coffee (in moderation) and even soups contribute as well.

What you eat during dinner won’t have a major impact on your skiing performance or energy levels. However make sure you do eat something to make sure you have re-fuelled in preparation for the next days skiing. If you’re enjoying a fair amount of the apres ski and nightlife, make sure you have a big glass of water before you go to bed to help prevent dehydration and your performance the following day!

What would the perfect menu look like…It should be something both balanced and nutritious while at the same time being something that you actually want to eat! You are on holiday after all! Some dishes I’ve recommended for this year at Skiology include:

•Savoiediotstewwithlentilsinsteadofpotatoes-the lentils act as a complex carbohydrate, giving a slower burning energy.

•APyreneanbullfightersbeefstew–beefishardto digest but when it is slow cooked this makes the fibres and meat tissue easier to digest and the nutrients are released quickly.


TWIN PEAKSLes Gets has been twinned with Damgan, a coastal town in South Brittany since May last year. If you have been to Damgan recently you would notice something a little out of place….a red ski lift. In order to help commemorate the relationship between the two towns one of those famous old red bubble lifts we all loved was given as a gift to the town of Damgan.

Les Gets may be several hours drive from the nearest coastline but the same cannot be said for Damgan. The village is home to an expanse of coastline for which the area is famed. The coastal nature of Damgan is important to the town’s reputation as a tourist destination.

In Les Gets, traditional agriculture may account for a good proportion of industry, while in Damgan they are reliant on a different type of farming – oysters to be more precise. In 1848, the first oyster bed was laid in Damgan and the industry in the town developed rapidly thereafter. Damgan was established in 1820 but it was not until 1824 that it separated from the nearest village and became a district in its own right.

Les Gets and Damgan became twin towns through their similar commitments to protecting the environment. The main aim of the twinning is to facilitate exchanges between the two. Already, children from each of the villages are involved in exchanges to go on summer camps in Damgan and skiing in Les Gets in the winter.

Both villages are popular activity holiday destinations, while Les Gets focuses on hiking and biking, Damgan is more focused on sailing and watersports because of its seaside location. Les Gets is famed for being a great ski resort in close proximity of an airport as opposed to the long transfer times usually related with a skiing holiday. The transfer distance is 80 km and takes approximately 75 minutes. Damgan meanwhile is also situated 80km from Nantes airport and therefore the transfer time is almost the same too.

While there are so many similarities and differences between our lovely twin towns, one thing we’re sure of at Yodel is they’re just as beautiful as each other and we’ll be planning a holiday to Damgan for more research asap!

Eddy bought the Igloo two years ago and it is now THE late night watering hole of choice for season workers, locals and those looking to party hard on holiday in Les Gets. From the outside, the chalet doesn’t look so big, but walking inside is like entering Narnia. There’s a couple of bars, a big dance floor and loads of chill out areas with comfy seating. It’s a cross between a private members club and a nightclub we think – you can imagine nights getting pretty messy in there, but it’s smart and cool at the same time.

The Igloo is open every night throughout the season from 11pm until 6am – phew…There’s a free shuttle bus running between the club and

Morzine throughout the night so you can even resort-hop if you fancy it! Between 11pm and 1am is happy hour, with ‘pub prices’ available at the bar - €5 a pint, €2.50 for wine and €6 for a spirit and mixer. Entry to the Igloo is €15, for which you can store your coat for free in the cloakroom and grab a free drink from the bar. For season workers entry is free, with just a €2 charge for the cloakroom.

Resident DJ Luigi plays big tunes that literally have the chalet walls shaking. There are guest DJs each week too, usually on Tuesday and Thursday nights and the line-up can always be found on the Igloo’s Facebook page

You’d be forgiven for thinking that Les Gets buzzes with skiers, snowboarders and families during the day but goes to bed early at night. Our village is home to one of the oldest nightclubs in

France! The Igloo Chalet Club was built in 1938 and is owned by local boy Eddy Monnet

The Igloo Chalet Club is on the Rue de Centre in Les Gets – for more details visit www.igloo-chaletclub.com or call +33 (0) 4 50 75 85 00. To call the shuttle bus from a lift to Igloo call +33 (0)6 30 79 94 61

There are few dishes better to tuck into after a long day on the mountain than the beautiful and classic Coq au Vin.

Ingredients (serves 8):

2 Chickens (approx. 1.6kg)1 bottle red wine2 bay leaves2 thyme sprigs250g bacon lardons60g butter20 small pickling or pearl onions250g button mushrooms1 teaspoon olive oil30g plain flour1 extra tbsp plain flour1 litre chicken stock125ml brandy2 tsp tomato puree1.5 tsp softened butter2 tbsp chopped parsley

Joint each chicken into 8 pieces by cutting through the centre of the bird.

Place the wine, thyme and bay leaves into a bowl with the chicken and season well with salt and pepper. Cover and leave to marinate overnight.

Lightly sauté the bacon lardons until golden and place into a separate bowl. Then using the same frying pan, melt a quarter of the butter in the pan and add the onions until browned. Set these to one side.

Melt another quarter of butter, add the mushrooms, some salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. Again, remove and set to one side.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat the chicken dry but save the wine and herb mix. Add the remaining butter and oil to the frying pan and sauté until golden brown. Stir in the flour.

Transfer the chicken into a large saucepan or casserole dish and add the stock. Pour the brandy into the frying pan and boil, stirring, for 30 seconds to deglaze the pan. Pour over the chicken. Add the marinade, onions, mushrooms, bacon lardons and tomato paste. Cook over a moderate heat for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

The History of Coq au Vin

Napoleon is thought to have unexpectedly stopped at an inn while travelling through France. The innkeeper had little food to serve aside from an old rooster and some inferior wine. In desperation the innkeeper cooked the rooster in the wine with onions, herbs and some vegetables. To everyone’s surprise it was very tasty, to the point that it became part of traditional French cuisine.

Until the 20th century it was common for rural families to have some chickens and a rooster. The rooster would be kept until it was too old to perform it’s duties, at which time it would be killed and eaten. Because the rooster was so old its meat could be tough and stringy so cooking it slowly in red wine would soften the meat and make it more edible.

Coq au Vin first appeared in an 1864 cookbook but the dish can be traced back as far as Julius Caesar. It is generally known throughout France as a national rustic dish but typically a wine from the region of Bourgogne is used in its preparation.

Through thekey hole

The Bushack

yodel opens the doors to some of Les Get’s most unique and design-led buildings.

If you ever wanted to know what it looks like inside the homes of the people who design and build luxury homes for others, then this is it.

Figs and Gio bought The Bushack in 2003 and after 7 years of wrangling with the local planning committee, it just took 1 year to create this beautiful 3 bedroomed family home. The house is often referred to as one of the best examples of building renovation in the area and has been designed with all the practicalities of family life in mind.

The design detail in the Bushack is exceptional. Custom-made silk Japanese panels are used as curtains. There is a silver hand basin in the downstairs loo, carried home by Gio in her hand luggage from Marrakesh. During the renovation process features have been made of the joins where new timber meets old.

The Bushack was refurbished with sustainability in mind. A wood-burning stove provides heating and hot water, there is natural insulation throughout and a rainwater collection tank provides water for the toilets and washing machine.

The most stunning part of this home is the lighting. It is practical and useful while being usual and changeable. Every home should have a ‘wow’ light and this one has many!

There is some mystery surrounding the life of Bungalow Graphics creator Charlie Adam and this is reflected in his work. Some say that Charlie was born on the ‘love boat’, was the survivor of a

plane crash over Mont Blanc and now travels in a private jet or submarine to attend art exhibitions around the world. Others tell of Charlie finding a mystical pair of glasses in his garage that allow him to see into the past, to the era of funk music and roller disco and to the future to find the inspiration that he needs to create his pictures. What we do know is

that Charlie’s Bungalow Graphics brand is becoming more and more

recognisable across the Alps. With commissions for

the very swanky Clubhouse in Chamonix and several festivals and competitions in the area, prepare to see more of this retro,

futuristic mash-up.

‘I was born in 1975 – an excellent year

for Bordeaux wines, Swedish tennis and other things that I enjoy referring to in my work. My father was an architect and my mother a Charlie’s

Angel. I grew up

in the

20


Chamonix Valley and this is where I started doing what I do. Although I now live near Annecy I spend a lot of time in the mountains, which is I guess where my winter and ski images are inspired.

I’ve always loved graphics and my training came from reading comics, watching films, skiing and snowboarding. I started designing things on my computer and started having exhibitions in local bars. I painted some murals and was paid in beer most of the time. Then I got my first ‘serious’ project designing for Dynastar snowboards thanks to the people I met riding on the Chamonix slopes.

It’s really important to me that my work is accessible to all. I keep it fun and easy and you can see that I don’t take myself too seriously in the graphics. I like to imagine that only very stylish women and classy people with a superior taste and sense of humour enjoy my work. But my postman likes it too!

There is a tiki inspiration in my work, but tiki is a very specific thing. It’s about mid 20th century Polynesian pop, exotica and tropical kitsch, all things that we are geographically very far from here in the Alps! I became attracted to tiki via surf culture, surf art and maybe by the interest I have for secret agents, cocktails and lounge music! I do get a lot of my inspiration from the 1950’s, through to the 1970’s so sometimes I call my work ‘funny-retro-cartoon’ instead.

I like ‘space age chalet spotting’ wherever I go, and although there aren’t many left any more, they do exist! I grew up in a family of

architects; my dad, my uncles, my brothers and all those design and architecture magazines at home influenced me. It’s true that the chalets and buildings in my graphics aren’t typical Savoyarde homes, but it’s just the way my imagination works.

I’ve now perfected the creation process for my art I think. I usually have a magical revelation while enjoying a fine cigar and a mojito on my Chesterfield, in my dressing gown by a fireplace, watching the snow fall. So I write it down, then I leave it one or two years until I find the time to draw it! No, I’m joking. All the ideas come from my wife Andrea. I just steal them and put my name on it.

I’ve featured the resorts of Chamonix and La Clusaz in my work before. I find that the resorts of Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz have a really old school charm and I like finding ideas in new places. There are plenty of retro looking ski-lifts and bar signs, I like that!”

Bungalow Graphics prints are now available to buy at the Les Petits Papiers d’Alice on the Route de la Combe a Zorre in Morzine or on Charlie’s website:www.bungalowgraphics.com

Génépi can be found all over Les Gets; in souvenir shops, the supermarket and served as a digestif after a meal. But what exactly is in the green wonder? Génépi may be served in a decorative bottle with flowers inside but you have been warned – it actually has a very similar make-up to absinthe. Yikes.

Génépi is made up of plants from the wormwood family that are endemic to the mountains making génépi a popular Alpine speciality. While there are many varieties of wormwood plant dotted around the area, only three are used in génépi; Artemia Génépi, Glacialis and Mutellina. One similar wormwood plant you won’t find being used for génépi is ‘Artemia Absinthe’ and I think we can all guess what that’s used for.

The colour of génépi varies widely between a pale gold to illuminous green when food colouring is added for effect. There is often a green tinge even without food colouring though, which is dependent on the amount of chlorophyll in each plant.

It is a lot less sweet than other digestifs, however it must have a minimum sugar content of 100g per litre to be sold as liqueur in the EU. Génépi should be served either at room temperature or extremely chilled. The liqueur is also used in local produce including jams and chocolates. Yum!

THE BIG CHEESEAbondance is a gourmet mountain cheese exclusive to the Haute Savoie region. It has a concave edge and an amber coloured rind that displays the marks of the cloth in which the cheese has matured. One hundred litres of full cream milk produces each cheese weighing between 6kg and 14kg and it is then matured for a minimum of 12 weeks.

The legitimacy of Abondance is strongly protected with the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC), which guarantees the methods used to produce it and the ingredients used. Only three types of cow’s milk are authorised to make the cheese from the cow breeds of Montbéliarde, Tarine and the Abondance.

Reblochon is produced in the Savoie region and the name comes from as far back as the 13th Century. To avoid the taxes charged on their yield of milk, the farmers would carry out an incomplete milking in order to pay less money. The name Reblochon comes from the word reblochaient, which means re-milking and refers to the second milking which was much smaller than the first but extremely creamy and ideal for making cheese, namely Reblochon.

The cheese was not however made in great quantities until the 20th Century alongside the rise of the tourism trade. Reblochon is uncooked but lightly salted and packaged in wax paper and a wooden container to maintain the condition of the cheese. Reblochon is most commonly used to make the popular mountain dish of tartiflette.

Tommes is a cheese produced across the French Alps and in Switzerland. There are many different types of Tommes that are usually named according to their place of production. For example a very local cheese, Tomme ‘Gets’ is made in Les ‘Gets’ by the Fruitière des Perrières.

Tommes is usually produced using the skimmed milk that is left over after the cream has been removed to make richer cheeses and butter. They are usually relatively low in fat because they are not made from the richer milk. Tomme de Savoie, one of the most popular local Tommes is a semi-solid cheese with a grey-brown rind.

Raclette is not only a famous dish involving a grill, potatoes and salad but also the type of cheese used in the meal as well. It has a smooth and silky texture that is much softer than other types of Alpine cheese and is a semi-hard cheese that is aged between three and six months

Raclette cheeses are usually made in large wheels weighing approximately 6kg though you can also buy it in smaller portions and even slices in local produce shops and the supermarket. When used for the dish also called Raclette, the cheese wheels are heated up and scraped onto plates. The name Raclette comes from the French word ‘racler’ meaning to scrape.

After years spent mastering the art of skiing, I was reluctant to complicate matters with a horse. Ski Joering involves being pulled along by a horse while on your skis. Sounds scary doesn’t it? And difficult? Oh what fun we had!

The horse has always been a form of locomotion and as far back as 2500 BC the Swedes were combining their horses, their skis and their need to travel to work. It was only during the 20th century that Ski Joering became a competition discipline and it debuted as an Olympic sport at the 1928 games in St Moritz. As winter tourism took hold of the French Alps, horses became the original ski lifts, pulling keen skiers up slopes.

In recent years Ski Joering has experienced a resurgence in popularity, especially in the resort of Les Gets. A special harness is

attached to the horse and as I took hold of it, sheer terror forced a tight grip! The harness includes a bar at the back of the horse so that when it stops, skiers stay very clear of the horses huge hooves! My guide doubled as my driver on account of my inexperience, and took both the harness and the reins of the horse. Phew! All I had to do was relax and hold on tight!

Ski Joering is a great way to see the local area. The course we took was a local walking path, through the trees and across untouched fields of snow. The gentle ride and the steady canter of the horse meant I could relax and enjoy the scenery. Imagine a cross between snowshoeing and cross-country skiing but without the effort!

The pace of the horse changes depending on the terrain but it’s really not as physically intense as you’d imagine. The horse will walk, trot, lope or gallop depending on your

ski ability and experience, which meant enjoyed the tranquility of my surroundings and then the exhilaration of whipping along behind the horse at high speed in equal measure.

Les Gets Ski Joering has a base Ranch du Lac where there are 5km of groomed trails for the horses to follow. An hours guiding is priced at €45 per person and further details are available at www.skijoering-lesgets.com or call +33 (0) 6 08 18 78 54.

Mobile phone – It is inevitable that when skiing you will need to take your phone, for safety if nothing else. The only problem being that in colder temperatures our phone’s battery can seize up and empty even if it’s fully charged. A simple solution can be found in just wrapping it up, you could use the case for your goggles rather than taking extra bulk up the mountain.

Camera - Similar problems can occur with your camera so it is also a good idea to ensure you have some kind of a case or warm wrap to protect it. Some people believe the battery lasts longer outside of the camera, so they keep it separate until they are ready to start taking photos. When returning from your days skiing try not to take the camera straight into the warmest environment but instead allow it to acclimatise in a cooler area.

Car – Always remember to lift your windscreen wipers away from the glass when you park otherwise you run the risk of them freezing onto it. Ensure you always leave your car in gear and preferably try to park with your wheels facing away from any slope. When appropriate, try to keep the handbrake off as moisture can freeze cables and brake linings.

Yourself! – If you feel yourself getting ill, which can often happen in the cold ensure you have a lie-in, relax and allow your body a chance to recuperate. It will be worth missing a morning’s skiing to save yourself for the rest of the week or even season.

This game is like a frozen, upside down, distant cousin of snakes and ladders, but with a yeti. Set in a winter wonderland, the objective of the game is to stay out

on the mountain longer than anyone else, using ski-lifts and helicopters and avoiding the roaming yeti. The board itself is made from a handy spill-proof

vinyl. It’s tough and durable and rolls up to be portable. Adding an element of après drinking games to the rules would be easy, but at the same time

Yeti Mountain is great fun for families too.

It’s called the Houston Handbag and whether you know its nickname or not you’ve probably seen it in action. It’s the technique many people use to carry their skis by looping the pole handles around the end of your skis. And now it’s just been made a whole lot easier thanks to Quickpoles.

The company that produce Quickpoles aim for you to carry both skis and both poles in one hand, without any of the awkwardness. The poles have a special clip that you position at the correct point of your poles so that they can be snapped into your binding. They simply grip into the heel and toe of your bindings and form a rigid structure, which is then easy to carry without the usual juggling act. You can also look like the hero by carrying someone else’s skis too!

The poles are a great invention, especially for mums and dads who usually get stuck carrying a whole collection of skis! They are available in black or white and aluminum or carbon fibre. They cost between €65 and €105 and are available from www.quickpoles.com.

‘We’d just bought a chalet to run as a ski holiday business when we moved to Les Gets. Starting from scratch in that first year was difficult. But we filled the chalet with friends and old business associates – many of them returned the following year and this strengthened our business.

Les Gets was much quieter then. Some of the original businesses have fallen by the wayside; many are still here, going strong. You can’t just turn up and start a business in Les Gets – it’s difficult and you need to do your homework. If you get it right, you will love it.

I was in the Royal Navy for 19 years before opening my first night club and then a succession of bars. When I sold up in the UK I never imagined that I’d be in the pub game again. But I missed the banter with customers and the thrill of building a new business and now my bar, JC’s Sports Bar opposite the Mont Chery telecabine is one of the busiest in the village.

As the resort has developed and the lift system has been upgraded new businesses have opened – the Venning family took on the Grand Ourse on Mont Chery, Ski Transfers have expanded their airport transfer business

and there is even a British owned laundry! Shopping has much improved with new stores and better products, making it more competitive for shoppers.

I often hear rumours of the resort expanding – a sports centre and swimming pool, extra underground parking and more ski runs are often talked about. These things would really enhance the resort I feel.

My lifestyle in Les Gets is fairly relaxed and chilled – the pace is as fast or slow as you make it. Les Gets’ residents are fantastic; both the French and English communities are friendly and helpful. I still miss my family and friends in the UK and going to live rugby matches, but that’s honestly about it!

I became a ski instructor 5 years ago so in my down time I like to take on the mountain and its ever-changing terrain. Meeting up with other business people and holidaymakers for a ski and a beer is always good fun.

When people come to my bar I want them to feel relaxed. We’re a bar for everyone so I keep the prices low to suit holidaymakers of all budgets. We’ve got loads of huge TV screens for sport including 3D TVs, which people think is amazing! We also have live music every Wednesday from 5.30pm, Sunday night music quizzes and other theme nights throughout the season. I try to keep things fun and lively!

When people ask me for advice on setting up a new business in Les Gets I tell them to do their homework. Lease rather than purchase outright to begin with – at least you can then walk away after the first season if it doesn’t work out. Find a niche in a market. Pricing is essential to gain business and sustain it. Make it a lifestyle change and you won’t regret it. Les Gets is one of the most wonderful places on the planet.

When Jim Connolly and his wife Kath

moved to Les Gets in June

2004, the resort was a very different place. Here

Jim tells yodel about

living the ex-pat dream.
