Members Profiles
Number : 11
Name (proper) : Mr. Mark Bradley Morgan-Hillam (well posh.)
(GB name) : Sticks
Date of Birth : 4th March.
Occupation : Teacher (surprise, surprise)
Town : Bradford (originally) Wigan (to laugh at the locals)
Resorts visited : Raveshletto (or summat like that, never found it on a map since, ask Mr. Moffat from Wibsey Middle School!) Italy; various Scottish resorts, trying to find one with ski-able conditions; Flaine, France; Soll, Austria; Souze D’Oux & Sestrierre, Italy; Livignio, Italy; Pas de la Casa, Andorra; Val Thorens/Meribel/Courcheval, France; Kitzbuhel, Austria; Flaine, Switz; Saas Fee, Switz; think that’s it. Many UK slopes I suppose, Edinburgh being particularly memorable, very steep at top if memory serves!
Shirt Size : XL (got to get it over my ears.)
Skier or Boarder : Do you want a smack? And anyone mentions the stag-do forfeit gets it.
Favourite; yes I am very popular thanks.
Tipple : Got to be Jeiger-baby!
Resort : Would love to visit Three Valleys again as I skied so little of it, and it was so much harder than anywhere else I’ve skied with better lifts, but Kitzbuhel for quality bar staff and nightlife obviously! (Granted, I’ve only been in six bars in three years, but you know what I mean…)
Short and Curlies Track : No such thing! ‘The Wall’ by the Floyd if I had to choose, but only cos I know they’re finishing after that one!!!
Bar on tour : Whichever one I’m in! I love mountain top/side bars with deck chairs – tends to mean the end of the days skiing! (Apart from one semi-lashed run back into town.)
Eatery on tour : A mountain top restaurant with a sun terrace. Although the Panorama at Pass Thurn with the spit-roast is my current favourite. (Matron)
Tour dish : Tyrolergrostl.
Quote : “See you at the Gondola station at nine…” OR, “I’ll just have one more…” (The second one tends to affect the first one.)
