Selfie sticks, mankini's and even a life-size cut out of Eastenders' Lucy Beale, the UK's largest ski holiday provider, Crystal, which accommodates more than 200,000 skiers and snowboarders each winter, has published a list of some of the items left behind in the hotels, apartment and chalet rooms it operates holidays to.
Along with predictable items like goggles, thermals and 756 empty alcohol bottles, among the more unusual items on the list were a Fire Constabulary badge, 4 Christmas jumpers, 13 Mankinis, 3 Pairs of Spanx, 98 Santa Hats and two unwrapped Christmas presents – the contents of which still remain a mystery say the company. There was also as size 7 left ski boot and a size 8 right ski boot.
"We expect a number of ski-related items to be left behind, but the life-size cut out of Lucy Beal was somewhat of a surprise, especially as none of our staff saw 'her' entering the chalet," said a Crystal spokesperson.
