skiing at les menuires 2001

March 2001 saw some 500 gay men decend on the innocent village of Les Menuires in the french alps, care of Alternative Holidays. With a week of skiing, entertainment and socialising we set about making new friends with a vengance. I should have used my camera more, especially on the slopes, but hey - this was a holiday! Here is a selection of the photos I took, and you can click on each one to see a larger version.

Tony F Ski class. There was full day tuition for those who could get up for it. Drinks before dinner

The biggest event of the week was the fancy dress night. I'm afraid I didn't make the effort, but almost everyone else did and there were some fantastic outfits. The theme was "Toys are Us" On another evening we were joined at dinner by the Queen of the Netherlands.

Bob the Builder was popular! Peter and Derek as ... hmm HRH Queen Beatrice
Playing Cowboys and Indians - or something Bob the builder meets the egyptians. "A pyramid? Ooo, that's gonna cost a bit mate!" Lady Penelope - F.A.B.

Hi to everyone I met on the holiday. I met some really great guys. Skiing over for this year - but I'm already thinking that I must do more next year.
