ICIS reporter Shelley Kerr was lucky enough to attend the recent "Newstone Winter Event" hosted by the brokerage at the ski resort of Engelberg in Switzerland ....
"Attendees were treated to a boozy buffet lunch before being escorted in horse drawn carriages to the slopes where they were to sample air boarding to the sound of the alpine horn (she writes).
For those not in the know, air boarding involves flinging yourself headfirst down a ski slope on a miniature air bed at high speed...needless to say much fun was had by all!
Newstone's team scooped up the awards, with Joelle Kastler winning the slalom crown. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Kellerman sustained the award for most injuries after taking down a slalom pole and later hitting his head on the restaurant's ceiling when the group retired for some après-ski.
After some pre and post dinner entertainment those that still had the stamina danced until the small hours...Good food, good wine, good entertainment and great company...what more could you ask for?"
