GONDALOVE

Our Gondalovers bare all about their steamy ski and lunch date courtesy of Le Hibou, Val d’Isère. Were you impressed with his boarding? Yes! He was definitely a faster and more adventurous snowboarder than me. I could learn a few tricks from him

How did the date end? I had to run and get the bus because I had work to go to. He was a gentleman and walked me to the bus stop.

Would you meet again? Yes, I would love to snowboard again and spend time getting to know each other. JOSH:

How has your dating life been up until now? Dating life has been tragic with a splash of slutty - but in recent months it’s been more of a serious thing .

CASSANDRA: How has your dating life been up until now? Pretty good Funniest moment of the date? I think the funniest part was when Josh crashed into a pole getting off a chair lift. We were too busy chatting and didn’t realise that it was time to get off! Funniest moment of the date? Funniest moment would be trying to impress my date, however falling flat on my arse off of a chair lift, acrobatic style. What did you like most about her? I really enjoyed her snowboarding skills, daring to try a scary red I awkwardly encouraged her down. She also had great conversation beyond the realms of “first date chat”.

What did you like most about him? Josh is a down to earth guy; funny and charismatic. I enjoyed our time spent together. What was your chairlift chat? Oh, we covered quite a few topics. We spoke about previous work and snowboarding experience, travel and so much other stuff. Give us the low-down on the meal at The Le Hibou. I love that place! The staff are really friendly and the food is superb. I had the duck pancakes... Yummy! What was your chairlift chat? Very snowboard & ski season centric chat - my highlights were when we were on the Mont Blanc and we turned around and appreciated the beautiful views. Give us the low-down on the meal at Le Hibou. Hibou was hilarious - Rich and Nicole welcomed any opportunity to wind us up, bringing candles, playing romantic music etc - it was fucking hilarious. Were you impressed with her boarding? Her boarding was great, highlights were her

How did the date end? Things ended well and we’re currently planning a second date.

Cassandra and Josh shared a romantic meal at Le Hibou, Val d’Isère. Hibou’s lunch menu is one of the only in Val serving Asian food. Their delicious traditional Chinese noodles come with an option of Beef, Chicken or extra veg. Another incredible option is slow cooked ribs that are coated in sticky Chinese sauce, somehow these ribs are even better than they already sound. If those two options don’t already have your mouth watering, we have three words for you: Steamed Bao Buns. Don’t forget they also have a lovely sunny terrace, wing Wednesday and some of the nicest bar staff in resort.
