Another
Long Day on the Piste was published by Abacus in November 2006
Writer, adventurer,
ex-teacher and veteran of umpteen travel disasters, Will Randall
has fallen off donkeys in Spain and out of canoes in the Solomon
Islands, but none of this has prepared him for a calamitous season
as a ski-bum with a posse of raucous, hard-drinking ex-students.
In the charming
Alpine backwater of Mont St Bernard, Will's adventures start badly
when he spends his first night in a freezing garage under a mountain
of unwashed socks. Dismally unfashionable and hopeless at skiing,
Randall realises he must compete for the attention of the local
female population with goatee-wearing, lip-studded dudes fifteen
years his junior. Disasters abound during his stint as a chalet
girl for a lodge full of team-building American bankers. But when
a Russian oligarch arrives in the sleepy mountain resort with a
motorcade of Humvees, dancing girls and trigger-happy bodyguards
and selects Will to tutor his son, it would appear that rejection
and public humiliation will turn out to be the least of Will's worries.
