It was a good first day, the kids seemed to enjoy themselves in conditions that were tough, with poor visbility! Everyone finished the day with no injuries and a smile on their face.
The final activity was Bum Boarding, where there were some impressive crashes, but mostly a lot of fun to be had!

The weather had been fair, some clouds and some sunshine during the morning.
The clouds quickly moved in after lunch with a small flurry of snow before passing through the valley. Students have experienced a real variety of conditions over the two days and it is fantastic to see the progress they are making, all now going from slope to slope.

Unfortunately the ice skating has been cancelled due to the recent weather conditions of past weeks making the ice rink unusable at the moment, so students will be having ice cream from the local ice cream parlour.
Pizza night tomorrow night (Tuesday 22nd).

Day 5 has just finished, and day 6 will be a half day due to our 6pm departure.
Students have a busy night in store as they will come off the slopes then go in to the local town for a small shopping trip, dinner and then the presentation evening where they will receive their certificates.

The last two days have been glorious sunshine, great conditions for all to ski in!
After a late night last night due to the disco we have some tired faces, but all have managed to be up at 7 and on the slopes to start lessons at 9am.
