Each spring in Wengen we have a pool race. This event is a test of competitors’ ability to cross a large pool of very cold water on skis, a snowboard or whatever you have to hand. Of course, there’s always one who takes things a little bit too far.

Mein Damen und Herren, I humbly present Mr Colin Flint.

Now we all know that Colin’s a bit handy with a saw and a hammer and nails – he hasn’t cut anything vital off for a few years now. Nevertheless, I can’t help being impressed by what he’s done with a few sticks and bits of cardboard. The beast is hauled up the Figeller..

A long pause at the top, and some ‘help’ from a bystander who turned out to be as much use as an inflatable dartboard.  

And we’re ready for launch in t-minus 5,4,3 oops couldn’t hold it any longer, good luck Georg!  

 ‘Eclipse’ runs straight and true.
