We bumped into someone who was a dead spit for Sean Connery in Courchevel last week. Sounded like him too (we had a random conversation with him about how quiet it was and he jokingly accused us of skiing on his private piste). Does anyone know if he is a skier and was out there last week?
Not really a celeb watcher but some years ago I did see Richard Branson in Courchevel

Big Dave, no idea, but a big plus for spelling Courchevel correctly. Pity about Sean's surname though....

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

According to this : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000125/bio "He has never appeared in a "Skiing" James Bond picture."
I have done my best to Google this...but no, nothing, apart from some guy looking like the man from Zalando who said his instructor looked like Mr. Connory.

I once saw slab-faced television funnyman Hugh Dennis in La Rosiere, having his lunch.
Me and my brother clandestinely reeled out loads of his Mary Whitehouse Experience catchphrases just loudly enough for him to hear, but not clearly enough for him to be certain.
Sorry Hugh.

We were in Courchevel a few years back and saw Bojo staggering down the road late at night a little the worse for wear. That was before he was mayor though - sure he wouldn't have time to go and get pi55ed in ski resorts these days, oh no.
Thing is, I'm rubbish at sleb-spotting: I only ever notice if someone else points them out

OMG what have I started! It's like Hello Magazine here. And I really hate the cult of celebrity, Jordan this, Peter Andre that. Tescos now sell Anthony Worrell Thompson sausages, which say on the side "Prick with a fork".

Agreed, whole celeb thing is pathetic on a good day, espcially as most of them are C list at best, however for Sir Sean of Bond.........maybe even I would make an exception.

Assassin Creed, I was going by this extract from the link :-
| Quote: |
| In Gstaad, prices are high – at £6,700-£8,500 per sq m, it's twice as expensive as the Italian-speaking region of Ticino or 50 per cent more than Lake Geneva. So is its celebrity resident count, with Bernie Ecclestone and Sean Connery among them. It is one of the largest ski areas in Europe and eternally desirable as a place to be seen. |

Wow! that's good news. I've always rated Roger Moore as James Bond only second to Sean Connery as James Bond, anyway. BTW, I skied with Franz Klammer at what used to be called Beckton Alps dry ski slope in East London and Gloucester dry ski slope.

Assassin Creed, welcome to snowHeads 
Bringing this back to ski celebs, had lunch next to Tom Wallisch, Mike Riddle, Nick Martini and film crew in Queenstown Sep 10. They were filming this among other things. Awesome climax with Wallisch starts around 2'30.
Jon Olsson and Colby James were at Treble Cone while we were there too but only saw the prepping of this for Jon. Weather delayed him nailing it while we were there to watch. Check out these blogs for the full story. Episodes 8 - 10. Check out the Kea at 2'20 in Ep9 - they are the coolest birds! Rode the lift with Goatee guy at 6'56 in Ep 9, top bloke. For anyone wanting to cut straight to the action, go to Ep10 2'33.
A few years ago, while skiing in Scotland, someone remarked that it must remind me of skiing in New Zealand and it's erked me ever since. Ah. No. They have nothing in common. Sorry Scotland. Those just aren't mountains you've got there.

6 years ago when I was waiting for the lift one morning in the Chateau Whistler, I gave some guy a mouthful for smoking in the lift. A little later I stood behind the same guy in a queue in the ski room waiting to collect skis and boots - he turned around and grinned at me and it was only then I recognised him to be Kiefer Sutherland. Apparently he's a keen heli skier.

I think that was the time when she acted as Patron to the British Army Ski Team.

From what I can recall Sir Roger Moore (have a little repect for the great man please) was a winter resident of Crans-Montana. He took up alpine skiing after TSWLM. He's now Monaco based, don't know if he still skis.
