Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

He's not wearing a helmet, in fact, in squirrel terms, he's buck naked. 
Hope there wasn't a yiffing convention going on at the time.

I heard he was doing his London publicity stunt once when it unfortunately coincided with an animal rights/anti-hunt protest. The demonstrators thought he was dressed up as a fox, taking the p...
And I think he got mugged on another occasion, doing the same thing in London. The lengths some will go to for promotional purposes
The replacement squirrel and his bodyguard were already well oiled when I bumped into them. Ok they weren't putting in many turns between bars, but no sign of the pursuing skiers? Pathetic!

Great day had by all - thanks for getting the photo up Pete!
We raised over 1000 euros for Back Up Trust Charity - if anyone wants to donate, they're a really worthwhile charity, taking wheelchaired youngsters into the mountains to do the sort of things we all take for granted.
The winning team was "The Ladies Club" who failed to show any real form in terms of catching the squirrel, but raised a wopping 330 euros by themselves (mainly by selling kisses for 1 euro on the slopes!).
I'll try to post some pics this week.

The resort in Breckenridge employs a skiing dog called Ripperoo. He lives in a hut on the mountain and the kids in the ski school sometimes pop in and visit him for hot chocolate. When we were there, my younger kids (then aged 4 and 5) were totally convinced he was real. He made their holiday.

Maybe they would have raised more money if they had allowed 'f@Ptsing snowbladers'!

Helen Beaumont, Coylumbridge used to be a Stakis, Dunblane Hydro's a Hilton now as well. Maybe he was a franchise squirrel ?

You know it makes sense.

chris, I doubt it, as all the teams that took part were seasonnaires, and they tend not to snowblade!
