Skiing!

Well into its 12th year of existence, it was time to celebrate… Hippo’s 10th anniversary! :-)

All Hippos were invited to join for a weekend of snowy fun in Winterberg! Starting with a long bus ride on Friday morning. Of course some people were busily typing away on their UMTS-enables laptops... the show must go on! We arrived in winter paradise just after lunch. No fifteen minutes passed after disembarking the bus before everyone was equipped with skis and onto the slopes.

With everyone well exercised and winded it was time to check into our Hotel and enjoy a relaxing three course dinner, some light beers or wine and enjoy a presentation by Jeroen, our CEO.

Besides informing all Hippos of the (financial) results of last year and long-term strategy, Jeroen also unveiled a new initiative: the Hippo Friday.


The morning brought another day of skiing, dinner at Benny's Kartoffelkiste (potato box) and an extravagant late-night fest in Europe's biggest après-ski bar: Alpenrausch!
Now, for obvious reasons I am not able to post most of the pictures taken that night, but I will leave you with one that gives a proper impression of the night and the entire weekend itself: it was FUN!
