Wii in the Bar

Continuing on with our "things to do when you're not on the slopes" series, a couple of weeks back we got a Nintendo Wii for the bar. Since then there has been pretty fierce competition over the sports game, and a definite drop in productivity. Nintendo 1 - Canyons 0.

One of our favourite features is to design your own character to use in the games. It's a lot more satisfying to have this personal touch, and there is definitely something to be said for conflict resolution when you get to pound your workmates' faces during the boxing game (and strut around triumphantly gloating afterwards.) Relationships have never been smoother with this pressure valve.

Any ideas who this is?

More Off-snow Entertainment

Seems to be a bit of a theme here but until we get hit by the snow most of the news is likely to be lodge-related. Another toy to add to the collection in the bar. Any of you who have spent seasons in the French Alps have surely wasted hours smacking a minature football around a table. Super-fun for all.

Challenges from all-comers welcome this winter but be warned - we're in pre-season training already and my wrists have never been this quick and supple.
