It turns out that the other Haas team were just too damn maverick as well, and there was some debate afterwards that, for all their talk of innovation, the company sponsoring the competition (and so the subject of the case) were actually looking for something a bit more conservative. One of the winners suggested expanding the ski resort into extreme sports like...err...skiing. Steady on there, tiger.
Anyway, none of that mattered as I got to sneak into the all-you-can-eat buffet final dinner. It was delicious! Breaded halibut in a coconut jus, sweet potato ravioli, a toasted almond salad with basil and orange dressing, and all finished up with the carrotiest carrot cake ever. This is what case competitions should be about (and why partners should always tag along).
So while the younger-at-heart members of the team have headed for the slopes or the bar, Hannah and I are lounging in bed with the telly on like a middle-aged married couple. Hang on...

The winners from Claremont Graduate University. No bitterness.
