Travel company freezes out naked skiers
An upmarket travel firm has dumped its sponsorship of a university ski trip to the French Alps after students engaged in raunchy activities.
Scott Dunn offered a skiing holiday worth £5,000 for the team that won the Scott Dunn Valley Rally, which involves 2,500 students from Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Billed as "a great afternoon on the slopes", participants were encouraged to "team up and traverse the mountain completing challenges set at various checkpoints".
But what the organisers failed to tell Scott Dunn was the nature of those challenges. Desperate for victory, the winning team took off their clothes to pose for erotic pictures in the snow.
The company said in a statement issued to The Sunday Telegraph: "Scott Dunn recently learnt of reported bad behaviour by some of the participants of the Varsity Trip’s Valley Rally.
"Scott Dunn in no way endorses any of the inappropriate behaviour reported."
