Ski Trip 2025 - Sestriere, Italy

View Images

Sunday

Just a quick update as we are having Wi-Fi issues at the hotel!

It has been a very long and tiring day, but all students have been fantastic. Everyone is looking forward to hitting the slopes tomorrow.

 

Monday

Weather: It has been snowing for the past 2 days but we are hoping for some sun tomorrow.

We started the day with a lovely breakfast, before we headed off to collect our ski gear and meet our instructors. We completed 3 hours skiing this morning and 2 hours skiing this afternoon. There were some falls at the start but as the day went on there were less and the group with less experience on the slope soon progressed to a more difficult slope. After the skiing was done we all walked into town where we were treated to a cup of hot chocolate and a crepe, later followed by dinner and some downtime on return to the hotel.  Everyone had a fantastic day and the students have absolutely excelled.  All students now safely tucked up in bed for the night.

BRING ON TUESDAY....

 

Tuesday

Weather: Cloudy start but the sun broke through in the afternoon! Meant to be raining tomorrow.

Another awesome day of skiing, there were less crashes and the instructors were very impressed with how well the students are doing.

Everyone was very tired after a long day on the slopes so we had some extended downtime before dinner. After dinner we took a trip to a local ice cream parlour.

Below are some of the comments from the students about the day:

Josh – We made progress today and we will make more in the next 3 days. I also thought it was funny when I got knocked over accidently by Ben S.

Hugo – I liked listening to the music that was playing while we were skiing.

Felipe – We haven’t had it yet but I think the ice cream will be the best part of today

Storme – I thought it was funny when I fell over on the magic carpet and they had to stop it while I got myself standing upright again.

Sunny – I agree Storme falling over was funny!

Sassia – I enjoyed watching people crash

JJ – Felipe was right the ice-cream was the best part of the day.
