Awards

Skiing Awards
After each day of skiing, 3 awards were presented and the jackets had to be worn on the slopes the next day:
OMG Award- if somebody did something amazing
Wipeout Award- for the most spectacular fall of the day
All The Gear No Idea- for somebody who is not as good as they proclaim

Day 1
OMG- Joe Smith- for demonstrating excellent skill, speed and control on day 1, very impressive!
Wipeout- Muz Shaikh- Muz had numerous falls, most of which resulted in his skis coming off. He also took out most of his group who were waiting for him at the bottom of the run- dominoes spring to mind!
All The Gear No Idea- Mrs Banwait- Miss looked great in her matching jacket, salopettes and goggles, however when we went for the ski fit she had her socks on back to front. Also when asked by the instructor if she had skied before her reply was 'no but I'm good!'

 

 

Day 2
OMG- Elliot Bailey- Elliot is new to skiing so is trying to master going forwards, however he managed to ski backwards - without falling over - all the way down the slope with a look of horror on his face. A skill the advanced group would have been proud of.
Wipeout- Tom Goodwin- Miss Bedney managed to capture one of his falls on video as he tried to land a 180 jump which would have been very impressive. In the afternoon, his fall at the top of a black run was also very memorable.
All The Gear No Idea- Ed Watts- if you were to talk to Ed at the beginning of the week, he would have told you that he should be in the advanced group. However he had still yet to master turning to the right and in some cases stopping.
