“Why are you doing this to me?” Jimin groaned and they left Y/N’s garden. This place was familiar to him now, as every night he was watched her.

British World Cup Skier James Pouch Announces Retirement https://ift.tt/9FAjcal James Pouch, one of Britain’s longest standing Park & Pipe World Cup skiers, has announced his decision to retire from competition ahead of the 2026/27 season. Widely recognised for his style and technical strengths, James has made his World Cup debut in January 2020, racking up nine top 30 World Cup finishes across his career, as well as appearing at the 2025 World Championships in St Moritz. James’ competitive FIS debut came in January 2017 in Waterville, USA, with his first competitive appearance outside of North America coming in a World Cup debut which saw him finish 40th in Slopestyle in Seiseralm, Italy. James broke the World Cup top-30 for the first time three years later in Silvaplana, finishing 22nd in Slopestyle, while his best World Cup result came in the Klagenfurt Big Air competition in January 2025 with a storming 16th place finish. The 2025/26 season saw James record six World Cup results including two Big Air top 30s in Steamboat in December 2025 and Tignes in March this year. Alongside his competition performances, James has been an integral part of the British Freeski team notably training and competing alongside Chris McCormick, Tom Greenway, and Tyler Harding in the Men’s Park & Pipe Freeski World Cup squad. Announcing his decision to retire, James said: “It’s been an incredible time skiing with the team over the years. I’ve seen parts of the world that I otherwise wouldn’t have, met amazing people, and been able to compete with the best skiers out there. I’ve had such a blast travelling, training, competing, and just spending time with the Park & Pipe squad. Freeskiing is in a great place right now and I feel really honoured and fortunate to have been a part of the scene for all this time. It’s something that will always be a part of who I am, but I know that it’s the right time for me to step away from competing and focus on my next endeavour.  I want to say thank you to my family, teammates, coaches, and everyone else who has been a part of the journey, there are certainly a lot. Seven years later and I still can’t believe I’ve had the privilege to do this, I can’t thank everyone enough.” Pics Credit: Sam Mellish / GB Snowsport.

ECOFUEGO Brings Après-Ski Firepit Atmosphere Home https://ift.tt/v2LDItP Après-ski is difficult to recreate once you’re back home, but ECOFUEGO has come up with a practical way to bring some of that winter-terrace atmosphere into the garden. The company describes its new outdoor firepit as the world’s first wax firepit, using replaceable wax candles to create a real flame for patios, terraces and outdoor spaces without the need for logs or gas. Designed for outdoor living, the ECOFUEGO system uses replaceable 100% vegetable-wax refill candles rather than wood or gas, creating a real flame for gardens, patios, terraces and compact entertaining spaces. The company says each refill can burn for up to 8 hours, with the firepit lit using a standard lighter and extinguished with the supplied lid. It is designed as a decorative and warming outdoor flame, rather than a cooking fire. For anyone missing the feel of a ski lodge terrace between mountain trips, the appeal is easy to understand. There are no logs to store, no ash to clear away and no wood smoke drifting across the table. Instead, ECOFUEGO promises a cleaner, simpler firepit experience for winter evenings, après-ski-style gatherings and relaxed cold-weather entertaining at home. The range includes the El Fuego Original 37cm, aimed at gardens and terraces, and the smaller El Campo 27cm, a more portable option for camping, cabins, picnics and smaller outdoor spaces. ECOFUEGO says the El Campo includes a firepit, tabletop lid, carry bag, drum and one 8-hour refill, while the brand’s wider collection also includes natural and citronella wax refills. The brand says its wax is 100% biodegradable vegetable wax sourced from audited suppliers, and also claims the system can produce up to 90% lower CO₂ emissions than a traditional wood fire. As with all sustainability claims, readers should treat that figure as manufacturer-stated unless independently verified. Current prices listed by ECOFUEGO include the El Fuego Original from £199.99, El Campo Matte Black from £119.99 and 4.5kg natural wax refills at £26.99, although some refill options were showing as sold out on the brand’s site at the time checked. Products are sold direct, with the company also offering a store locator for retail stockists. It is a neat idea for skiers who like to carry the mountain mood into everyday life. ECOFUEGO will not replace the real thing, of course, with snow underfoot, a piste map in the pocket and the last run still glowing in the legs. But for a winter evening in the garden, a chalet-inspired gathering or a little fireside theatre after dark, it brings the terrace a good deal closer.

Crystal Offer BOGOF Lift Pass Deal https://ift.tt/LrqWcgn Crystal Ski Holidays have launched a Buy One, Get One Free lift pass offer, giving skiers the chance to save up to £458 per couple on their next mountain escape. The offer is available on new European package holiday bookings departing between 12 December 2026 and 30 April 2027 and allows customers to buy two lift passes and receive the cheapest one free. Some of the biggest savings include: Zermatt, Switzerland– save up to £458 per two people on a six-day International lift pass. This area covers 350km of pistes across the Swiss-Italian ski area, which includes Cervinia. Set against iconic mountain backdrops, including the classic Matterhorn it’s also possible to traverse Europe’s highest runs, way up at 3,883m on the wide Theodul Glacier. Tignes, France– save up to £415 per two people on a six-day Tignes & Val d’Isère area lift pass. The 300km area is loaded with long blues and reds, as well as more challenging terrain where you can really test your technique. Most of the slopes are above 2,300m, so the resorts usually benefit from reliable snow cover. Obergurgl, Austria– save up to £414 per two people on a six-day Ötztal Super Skipass. Up at 1,930m, Obergurgl’s one of the highest villages in the Alps and the112km ski area packs in plenty of variety too, from gentle nursery slopes, tree-lined trails and wide-open pistes. “This offer gives customers even more reasons to hit the slopes, with savings of up to £450 available in selected European destinations, leaving more room to enjoy everything a ski holiday has to offer, both on and off the mountain.” commented Scott Britton, Head of Crystal Ski Holidays. With lift pass prices now one of the biggest costs on many ski holidays, particularly for families and couples booking peak winter dates, the offer could make a noticeable difference to the overall price of a trip. It is likely to be most appealing to skiers who already know they want a full week on the mountain and are booking a complete package rather than building their holiday independently. The offer is available on selected local and area lift passes of up to 13 days in duration and can be added during the booking process when customers book a Crystal Ski Holidays package that includes transport, transfers and accommodation. The Buy One, Get One Free lift pass offer launches on 2 July 2026 and will be available for a limited time, subject to availability.  Full terms here. As always with ski holiday offers, travellers should check the eligible resorts, pass types and departure dates carefully before booking, as the best savings will vary by destination, holiday date and lift pass duration.
