The season is all but over, with only the highest resorts and glacier pistes still offering skiing and snowboarding. So what better time for tour operator Powder White to release a series of end of season statistics, mostly about food and booze. Make of them what you will…
bottles of wine drunk by 7,328 chalet guests – the equivalent of 117 bath fulls.
kilos of cheese consumed by the same guests – the average weight of an adult African elephant.
baguettes eaten – suspciously low compared to the amount of wine drunk…
cakes baked for afternoon tea – suspiciously high compared to the number of baguettes eaten…
ski poles lost by guests – a rate of two a week over the season.
The distance driven by those friendly coach drivers in charge of airport transfers for the tour operator.
The number of countries guests came from, including Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
The oldest guest and…
… the youngest.
