Alexa: So Vicci, where are you right now and what are you up to? Are you feet hurting from the silly heels I saw you in this weekend!

Vicci: I am lying upside down trying to get the blood back into my feet after those things!! Fun but thats a dangerous sport that drinking in heels, maybe we could take it to the olympics, what do you rate your chances?

Alexa: With you by my side Vicci ladder, I reckon we could tag-team the Olympics! It would have to be our mission to kidnap Shaun White though.. we could intice him with our liovely battered and bruised snowboard legs! mmmmmm!

We met on the glacier in 2alpes about 4 years ago, what was your first thought of our first encounter?

Vicci: I wondered who the fuck this chick was with a heart shape head, green skin and saucer eyes... but i do remember having to put some darker lenses in on account of your very bright pink pants!!! Do you still have those things??

Alexa: No they began to smell so bad I had to throw them out for health and safety reasons! I now rock the bright blue which is equally as electric!! It was a funny summer two years ago in 2alpes when you had the same blue pants... we were nick-named 'stroumphette' in French, you were mumma and I was baby! We looked like a couple of Smurfs....still do I think!

We have been on many adventure some snow related other extra ciricular... what partners in crime times spring to mind ?

Vicci: Three girls in a car, vespa and ducati in tow was not bad but i think that between that, naked sunbathing, various rock concerts, various rock musicians and the fact that everytime we go out i have blank spots in the evening it all blurs into a giant laugh!! Why what do you remember and should i be scared??

Alexa: The selling of boys every summer will stick in my memory for ever... I have never known four girls to get so many boys naked so quick (thanks Emily Akerblom and Rita Comi!!). I think this past winter you and I were on form dancing in the Avalanche... We have some quite special photos that I have used for a competition on Facebook.....Vicci can dirty dance like a proper Yank! (Enter the comp here for a chance to win some product from the sponsors). You got to teach me that touch your toes ass up in the air thing again!

Vicci: Oh God!

.... ....

Alexa: You learnt to snowboard on a dryslope, were you bullied as a child and how did you get over your fear of snow to become such a menace on the International circuit!?

Vicci: Ok stop just a minute!!!! What on earth does me learning to snowboard on a dryslope have to do with being bullied?? You could not really bully the kid who got a stone stuck up her nose when she was bored in class and had to go to the doctors to get it out, only laugh!!  Dryslopes were fun times especially the camping electric fence parties and the smell of the dendex as it grated your ass to pieces.... arghh those were the days.
I have never been scared of snow only marmite... why are you ??

Whats your biggest nightmare?

Alexa: I tried dryslope after my first season, I soon found the bar to be more enticing then the slope! We had a really good crew at Sandown dryslope... then they banned us -wankers! Moving on to Welwyn Garden City after driving around their roundabout several times (did you know it is illegal to drive round a roundabout more that three times?), I got this huge diamond shape bruise on my thigh after falling pretty hard (I think the bar was shut!). That fall did scare me. To get rid of all the swelling, this nice old lady used to give me accupuncture in my thigh and bum-cheek, she thought I was nutts. That was my biggest nightmare, that and seeing you in the morning rise from the ashes with a cup of chai!

Tell me about the best day snowboarding you have had this year?

Vicci: Japan!!! errr... 6 meters of neige, endless pillow lines, friends, hot onsen volcanic spring baths, sushis, chatting to the japanese hot dudes in the bar for at least half an hour before you realise you cant speak a word of japanese...

Hows the office these days?? Shit i am such a bitch sorry !!! You get to go to all the cool concerts tho.. seen anyone good recently ? How was girls aloud.... hahahha?

Alexa: The office is a change that is for sure, but a welcome one! Some day Vicci you too will have to get a propper job and I do not mean pretendingto be Bob the bUilder! Think I would swap it for some time in Japan though... those trees and pow.. mmmm powwww! Japan has always been my dream, that and riding Alaska! Ok back to the office! I am enjoying using my brain at the moment and being taken out to lunch! The concerts are great bonus, I saw the BackStreet Boys this week but couldn't see Girls Aloud tonight as a colleague went instead (please note, part of my job description involves being a media whore...I do not otherwise condone going to see these type of put-together musical shambles.. although I quite fancy Cheryl Tweedy!) This summer I have The Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, John Mayer (x2), Eric Clapton, Deff Leppard, Whitesnake and Queen and Paul Rogers lined up so far.... Im willing to trade some mountain time for my love of hard core rock music and free booze!

You and I are quite well known for our dirty-dancing skillson the Avalanche dancefloor, what advice can you give other gnarly chicks for pulling Vicci and Alexa style? (this ladies is most likely guarenteedthat you will not pull, rather just generate a crowd of disgusted onlookers....see photos! (Yes Vix, I am adding photos!!)

Alexa: I look forward to it, I challenge you!

How can I do 7s like Miss Miller?

Vicci: How can i do 270 on 270 offs like Miss Horneneneberg?

Alexa: That is not an answer and that is not my name though I wish it was!

How can I be a builder like Miss Miller?

Vicci:Step 1 get a tool belt that makes you look like a tech butch lesbian
Step 2 look up on internet how to build a wall
Step 3 pull down jeans until wedge of ass crack is on full view... then you know you have really made it !!!

Do you have plans for world domination or a white fluffy cat, when you have all the plans for the sliding chair with a pool of sharks below it ill pop over and build it no worries!! So what rad things have you got lined up for us during the weekend of gnar missy?? Get the drinks lined up wayyyyyyyy!!!!

Alexa: The event is going to be sick, lots of rails and different jibs. The sponsors have seriously hooked us up with serious product so we have so much to give away. I plan to have an after party in a hotel nearby that you can book through the website (keep posted in the next week!). I have a great DJ playing some sick tracks (thanks Will), Euan Southcott on the mic to may us laugh and even a fake manikin with a blond wig to represent you Vic if you do not get your ass over here from France (I am not joking, Euan is actually sorting this out!)

See YOu There!!
