Congratulations to Julia Barbaresi who has won two tickets to Boarderweek, worth £1000 (1500 euro). Boarderweek will take place on December 16-23, in Val Thorens, France, and for Julia and a friend the trip includes self-catering accommodation for seven nights, a six-day ski pass, entrance to comps, gigs, pubs and clubs, plus snowboard tests with the latest gear.

Val Thorens is the highest resort in the expansive Three Valleys area, and is a mecca for snowboarders. During Boarderweek the funpark will be buzzing all day and the village will be one big party scene every night. The artist line up has yet to be confirmed but expect leading underground DJs and some blistering bands.

Tickets for Boarderweek 2006 start at £500 (750 euro) and are available from Activ4 on 0870 240 6348 or via www.boarderweek.co.uk. Return coach travel from the UK is an extra £100.
