Well removed from fashion week, Thredbo gears up for an onslaught of the Clicquot champagne set . .



As Rosemount Australian Fashion Week in Sydney soldiers on and on and on, here's one mega-sounding event that some social circuiteers will be marking in their diaries . . .
When the below media release came through, it just sounded like a complete and pure escape. So, here you go . . .


"Veuve Clicquot hits Thredbo this season with the arrival of Clicquot in the Snow 2010, a celebration of two of life’s great pleasures, Veuve Clicquot and après ski.
The inaugural Clicquot in the Snow will be held in Thredbo on Thursday 22 – Sunday 25 July, with champagne flowing at a series of unique Veuve Clicquot experiences. The village will turn “Clicquot yellow” with events including après ski parties, exclusive dinners, tastings, even gorgeous picnics in the snow.
Clicquot in the Snow began in Aspen in 2007 and has grown in popularity, with the best bars, clubs and restaurants joining in the celebration each season. For the first Clicquot in the snow in Australia, partners Thredbo Alpine Hotel and The Denman Hotel and Spa have come on board to drive much of the fun.
