Market Evening and Airboarding

As everyone is well aware by now, Monday in Val d'Isere is Market Day, it really does get very busy. The stalls are now at their maximum number and a few new jewellery and nic-nac stalls have opened up. Lots of interest tonight was being shown on the sock and hat stalls, obviously it's a lot chillier up the top of the mountain than people initially thought, that or they just like hats and their socks are smelly!!

For the kids who aren't interested in looking around market stalls, they can go and entertain themselves by flinging themselves down the mountain on an 'airboard', a mini inflatable mattress. They launch themselves head first and from what I saw, the padded barriers at the end of the track came in very handy!! Anyone can partake, it's not just for kids.

It takes place on the snow front from 6pm onwards and the area is illuminated by floodlights with music pumping away. Ski boots and board boots are banned, but helmets are provided.
Great fun for all!!!
