Read reviews of the Le Rusticana on yodl.co

In 1990, an argument between Val d’Isere and Chamonix over who had the best skiers resulted in the first ever ‘Boss des Bosses’.

This bumps competition expanded to include, in differerent years, Verbier, Zermatt, Meribel, Courchevel and Val Thorens and became one of the highlights of every season worker’s season.

Boss des Bosses >>> The ChamJam
By 1996, the Boss was just part of a much larger event called the ‘ChamJam’. It’s easy to forget with the proliferation of music/action events in the Alps now that the ChamJam was a game-changer. It was the first event to feature the ‘new school’ of snowboarding action, bringing in the music that fits so well with the freestyle scene.

The last ChamJam…

The beginning of the end
Unfortunately 2003 saw the ChamJam bite the dust as an attempt to ramp up the scale of the event by creating their own arena – a giant marquee erected in front of the old ice-rink – failed spectularly. Complaints on the first night from locals (rumoured to be close friends of the mayor…) meant the venue was closed down early on the first night and was unable to open on the second night. Although the last night did go ahead, it was too late to recover financially and the ChamJam never reappeared.

Of course, talk to Chamoniards and season workers from the time and you’ll hear a hundred different reasons why it all went wrong. Here we are just going to focus on the positive – the ChamJam was a forerunner for many major events that now take place every winter. At its peak, it was the focus of freestyle in the Alps.

The ChamJam…chapeau!

LE D?âLICE WINTER OPENING PARTY

WED 8TH DEC

FROM 6PM TILL 1AM

LIVE MUSIC

FREE TASTER CANOPES AND DRINKS FROM 6 TILL 8PM

Well we made it out through the opening weekend relatively unscathed, but a tad weary. Luckily it‚Äôs a restful week for us here at Le D?©lice as we‚Äôre only open evenings (5pm-1am) till Saturday, when we open up all day for coffees, lunches, drinks and dinners. Now we‚Äôre feeling more settled we‚Äôre ready to celebrate our opening in style. This Wednesday, the 8th December, we‚Äôre throwing a little shindig. There‚Äôll be live music from Jon and we‚Äôll be offering free drinks and canap?©s between 6 and 8pm to welcome in the new season.

Everyone is welcome, from the (for now!) fresh faced seasonaires to the seasoned regulars and busy business owners buried in their woodwork. We‚Äôd especially like to invite chalet staff and owners, drivers, ski instructors, guides and people with their own local businesses so that you can meet each other and our staff. It‚Äôs a great opportunity to see what‚Äôs on offer in the valley and the girls always welcome the opportunity to glean information that they can pass onto our clients. We suggest bringing business cards, flyers and posters for the services you will be providing this winter so we can put them on show in the bar. We, in turn, will have copies of our new menus, and posters and flyers about Le D?©lice available, that we hope you will take to distribute to your clients. I‚Äôve attached our new evening menu and our general poster to this email in case any of you would like a copy but can‚Äôt make it on Wednesday. If you would like any other information about Le D?©lice please do not hesitate to contact me and I‚Äôll endeavour to give you what you need.

If you’ve ever been to the office bar in Argentiere on a Wednesday evening, you might well have come across the talented musician Tim Ward and his ever evolving band.

Recording with past collegues¬†Parisian Living, Tim & the band have recently released a track to itunes called ‘Busy Intersection’. Considering the myth of Gary the Gorilla, the track is funny, cool and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Help us promote the song, listen to it, ping it, buy it and who knows… maybe we can make it the Chamonix Christmas number 1.

Better still, a video for the track is currently is in production. Can’t wait to see that & we’ll be posting it here as soon as we can.

Gary Gorilla was born in captivity at the Bronx Zoo in New York, USA on 7th August 1985. Gary Gorilla was born in captivity at the Bronx Zoo in New York, USA on 7th August 1985. Find out more about Gary on facebook.

ENGINE-EARZ EXPERIMENT (DJ SET), NICOLAS DUVOISIN AND THE WINTER SESSIONS CREW

Nicolas Duvoisin is the local hero of minimalist house and techno with his label Fantastic Friends based in Geneva. His slick style and Swiss precision has won him countless gigs around the world in some of the most selective locations.

JFB is the UK 2007 DMC Champion which speaks for itself when it comes to decks mastery. His collaborations with the likes of Beardyman and his own night Battlejam mean we should be expecting some fireworks on the decks with this one. Engine-EarZ – what is there to say? Revolutionary.

Shiny Disco Balls – Engine-EarZ Experiment by Engine-EarZ and DJ Luxy

Groundbreaking! These guys have headlined Glastonbury BBC Stage, performed two BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale sessions and have only just released their first single ‘Kaliyuga’.

The Indian inspired dub step is a sound like no other and they have been said to be the next Rage Against The Machine crossed with the Prodigy. Hold tight for the audio ride of your life!
