SUNDAY 29TH DECEMBER

WHAT A START!!!!! A great night’s sleep for all meant the vast majority of students were actually early for breakfast. After croissants, pain au chocolate and much more the whole party was very quickly ready for the first ski lesson.

The conditions are superb with great snow and beautiful sun and all students have been brilliant this morning, making great progress. Currently all are getting ready for the afternoon session and these students say:

“I love Serre Chevalier!” Says Bea Kelly

“The “drink of the day” is amazing.” Says Lucy Towle

“The food is yummy.” Says Harry Harvard-Taylor

UPDATE!

An excellent afternoon’s skiing again under blue skies and no wind conditions. The instructors have been highly impressed by the attitude of all the students regardless of ability level.

Tonight the activity is bumboarding and we have over forty students keen to take part in this strange activity! This takes place just a stone’s throw from the hotel followed by hot chocolate. More photos of this will follow tomorrow.

We have also given our first awards this evening for effort and resilience. This includes the globally recognised “Marmie Award”...

THE LAST FULL DAY!!  The students received their skiing awards for the week on the last full day in resort. Everyone received their French Ski School achievement booklets and stamp to show their progress. They’ll be able to bring those booklets on any future trips to build on their ability- great to see how much progress has been made in a week!  Tonight we once again awarded students with awards for positivity, progress and can-do attitude. Our coveted ‘Marmie Award, where a chosen student looks after the one and only ”Marmie” received some siblings - see pictures!  Our end of trip disco has gone down a storm. Dance offs, singing, musical statues - we have seen the night off in style. A great day had by all!!  Some more pictures from our music quiz last night:  Awards tonight:  Skiing today;

WEDNESDAY 1ST JANUARY - HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We have had an absolutely cracking day! Weather conditions were once again perfect with sunny blue skies and beautifully groomed pistes. The instructors today praised the students with their attitude, willingness to learn and quick progression! We also took the opportunity to capture some professional action shots of each student skiing- we’ve seen the results already and there are some awesome photos! After some yummy Hunter’s chicken and scrummy chocolate mousse, the students sat down to compete in our much anticipated and revered music quiz. The stakes were high (pride) and competition fierce (even the hotel put forward a team!) The rounds included clips of music from films and TV shows, speed rounds, ‘the classics’ as well as a rock ‘n’ roll guitar round. By the end we had all students on their feet, singing along to ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey and Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’. What a night!! With tonight’s activity being so popular, we will be putting ...
