After 24 hours of travel the skiing party has successfully returned to Blighty. Fortunately all the luggage turned up this time as Debs was sans baggage for 36 hours on the way out. All eight of us had a fantastic time and the plan is to return next year with probably a few more people in tow. I'm going to need to get some practise in as I suspect that after six years my feet are not made for ski boots and I'll probably switch to the single wider plank, the boots are much more comfortable. As is the tradition with such auspicious events the last evening was "Kangaroo Court" night with the handing out of various awards and citations for all things snow related. So without further ado here are the winners: Wipe Out of the Week Award Ironically that was me. I crashed particularly well on the first run down Whistler, but the corker was when I went down one section of piste on my arse for about 50 yards. Saves skiing down it I suppose. Best Air, or Best Phat Air Award Dave C spend most the week traversing across the slopes looking for any bump he could find in attempt to leave the ground. No bump or lump in the snow was too small in Dave's search for 'Phat air'. Tallest Story Award Good 'ol Steve L. Fresh from a contract to front a new series of 'Jackanory' he never missed an opportunity to regale us with his tales of 'derring do'. Black runs, off piste, you name it he did it. Strangely there were no witnesses. Best Dressed Award Jeremy D famous for is stories about Concorde is also now famous for his lack of dress sense. 1970 purple ski pants anyone? Fastest Ski-Dooer Award Due to Steve and Jeremy's propensity for over embellishment this has to go to Dave G. The mere mention of his name brings back the heady smell of two stroke. Best Off Piste Award As Steve L excluded himself from this award (see above) this has to go to Karen G and Debbie G (no relation). How they missed the trees no one knows and no one dare ask, this includes rumours of a porno shoot. Sian Lloyd Award for Judging the Weather No matter what predictions he made they were wrong. Directions, cost, time spend it didn't matter Paul B was always wide of the mark. But this was naught compared to how wrong he got the weather. Git Award This goes to the 'Twat in the Tandoori' who due to his appalling singing and inability to hold his shandy giving us Brits a bad name. Wanker! The Law Breaker Award Jeremy D's competitivness always lands him in trouble and I'm sure the Police Officer on the I99 will agree after pulling him for speeding. Will he never learn? Excuses Award This was obviously going to either Jeremy D or Steve L for their wobbly grasp on reality and it was a split decision for Jeremy's "I actually have adjustable bindings" after Paul B had shown him the way home down the slalom (twice) and Steve's admission that "I can only use one edge". Both truely feeble. Class fellas. The 2004 Whistler Ski Holiday Award This has to go to Jeremy D for organising the trip and his ability to weave Concorde, trains and his Subaru into every conversation regardless of subject. Nice one chap.
