2009-02-07T23:36:35+00:00February 7th, 2009|

Please use the thumbnail to view today’s gallery of photographs. This morning we woke up to a thick covering of fresh snow. It was absolutely stunning! It was the golden opportunity for the top group to experience real powder skiing; a rare treat for any skier. The middle group skied for [...]

Ski Trip Day 6 – Friday 6th February

2009-02-07T00:04:10+00:00February 6th, 2009|

There are no pictures today of our skiers due to the weather conditions; it was very windy (we’ve all exfoliated due to the snow blasting in our faces) however; there was plenty of spectacular skiing to be had.  The top group took an exciting route in fresh snow down to St [...]

Ski Trip Day 5 – Thursday 5th February

2009-02-05T22:44:50+00:00February 5th, 2009|

Please use the thumbnail to view today’s photographs. As you can see we are a bunch of happy skiers! It’s a bit windy today so the top lifts are closed but the beauty of Les Menuires is that there is so much skiing that there still remains plenty to do and [...]

Please use the thumbnail to view pictures of some of the students. Another day of glorious sunshine and cold temperatures this morning. Everyone is fit and healthy although they have tired ski legs. Hope decided to modify one of her ski poles this morning by snapping it in half in a [...]

Ski Trip Day 3 – Tuesday 3rd February

2009-02-05T22:51:36+00:00February 3rd, 2009|

Please use the thumbnails to link to today’s photo gallery. The day started with … guess what? A game of ‘Hunt the Gloves’! Nobody wanted to play except Harry D. It’s becoming a boring game and we’re thinking of using a piece of string through his jacket to tie his gloves [...]

Ski Trip Day 2 – Monday 2nd February

2009-02-05T22:52:26+00:00February 2nd, 2009|

Today the students were bright and breezy as they were excited with the prospect of the first day’s skiing (Well, with the exception of Ken, Joe and Ryan; Miss Escritt now has bruised knuckles from hammering on the door to wake them up!). Conditions were excellent; nice, deep, crisp snow and [...]

Ski Trip Day 1 – Sunday 1st February

2009-02-05T22:49:07+00:00February 1st, 2009|

At last! The day that we’ve all been waiting for, arrived … but, too early in the morning!  Who arranges a ski trip that has to leave at 3.30 in the morning? … MR HUDSON!  Thankfully, everyone managed to arrive on time, although Kathryn Moore left it until last-minute.com as her [...]
