IT’S THE FINAL DAY OF TRANSITION SNOW…
LET’S SEE IT OUT IN STYLE!
I
t’s been quite a week in Avoriaz for the
inaugural Transition Snow, and we don’t
know about you but we’re f**king knackered. Late night raves, early morning piste
runs, snowball fights, dancing, falling over in
ski boots and one or two shandys has left our
bum more bruised and black then the last peach
in the shop and our brain in a thousand pieces
scattered across Resort. We’ve had an absolute
BLAST, and hope you have too. Let’s go HAM
tonight and say avoir to Avoriaz as a family…
Today sees a selection of sh*t hot shows
across the resort and clubs, with a mountain-top Igloo Sound Clash ft. Apexape,
Dusty Lungs and Get Low (note-if you like
Garage and Grime then you maaay enjoy
this…) our pro boarder tricks and rails
competition at the Half Pipe and an all star
selection of selectors in the snow tonight,
with Ben Pearce, Tazer, Nvoy and Karma Kid
saying ta ta to Transition. ALLEZ
ALLEZ ALLEZ!
END THE WEEK WITH RIDE AND SEEK!
THURSDAY 17TH DECEMBER
IT’S A PRO BOARDER
COMP WITH AN EDGE…
AND RAILS!
W
e’re rounding off proceedings
with a pro boarder comp
on the Half Pipe today,
as the best and baddest
riders this side of the Alps gather
together to ride, bomb, duck, olly,
skid, grind and grind some more
in the name of entertainment...
Set at the foot of the Half Pipe, boasting stunning
views of the Alps (and even Mont Blanc on a good
day), get yourself limbered up on a few runs before
heading over at 11.00am for the good times to begin.
The roster of pro boarders reads like a who’s
who of local talent, with a smorgasboard
of talent heading England, France,
Italy, Switzerland, Sweden and beyond… It’s basically the Eurovision Song Contest if you replace
the sequin dresses for salopettes
and fake tan for goggle marks.
Make it over!
ear me now! We’ve got a good old fashioned
sound clash on the cards up the mountain
this afternoon, as four separate crews step
up to the icey tundra to provide a final
day fandango! The world renowned ApexApe collective are rounding off an excellent year with a
mountain mash-up at Transition, alongside Dusty
Lungs, and Get Low Cartel in what promises to be
the bashiest mountain party since David Rodigan
did a season in Val Thorens…
Having 15 minutes each to showcase their
skills, the DJs will draw for everything from
Grime to Pop, Umpah to Russian Techno in a bid
to win your applause and be crowned king of the
mountain. With beautiful sunny skies forecasted, It promises to be a bit of a banger… JOIN US
ON THE PISTE!

“?*$!*”
DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU
MIGHT DO?
CABLE CAR CONFESSIONS!
CANDID WHISPERS ON JOURNEYS UP THE MOUNTAIN…
“HER GOGGLE TAN IS SO
POINT…”
“IF I HAVE TO SIT NEXT TO THE
TOILET ON THE COACH HOME, I
SWEAR I WILL ACTUALLY HITCHHIKE BACK TO ENGLAND…”
“IS THAT HUMAN POO?”
“I KEEP FORGETTING THE BLOKE’S
NAMES FROM EACH NIGHT,
THEY’RE JUST SAVED IN AS
MONDAY, TUESDAY AND THURSDAY. MONDAY IS MY FAVE,
SURPRISINGLY!”
“VODKA AND GIN IS A SUPRISINGLY DELICIOUS COMBO... I CALL IT

IT IN A BAR...”
“IT SMELLS LIKE QUEEFS IN HERE”
“I ASKED WILKINSON WHAT TIME
WILKINSON WAS ON. HE SAD I’D
MISSED HIM. #HASHTAG AWKS”
“I DIPPED MY PIZZA IN A
RACLETTE... WHAT HAVE

THEN HEAD INTO THE YAK FOR ONE FINAL HURRAH
TONIGHT WITH BEN PEARCE, PEDESTRIAN AND ARTIFACT
D
espite Wilkinson’s very
real attempts to destroy
the club to bits with his
frenzied set of dancefloor
destroying DnB, The Yakitty Yak
is still intact… And we’re all
going back!
Ben Pearce has been loving life
on the piste and in the party all
week, and headlines our final Yak
bash alongside Bristol ace Artifact
and one of Transition’s favourite
acts, Pedestrian, with the great
guys from Bournemouth’s super
THE BEST OF INSTA
successful Treatment clubnight
hosting affairs, and rounding off
the night with their residents. See
you at the bars, ours is a Vodka
and Apple Juice (we’ve gotten a
taste for it this week…).
Quick shout out has to go to
Marc Roberts, who managed to
DJ all last night despite having
one arm in a sling (dislocated
shoulder… Don’t ask). We actually thought it was even better
than normal, you should consider
wearing it full time Marc!
We love how lush you are making Transition look onInstagram... Keep it up! The best ones will make it to our page...
