Our first day saw everyone feeling a mixture of emotions, from being eager, nervous to some feeling sick! Students were split into 3 ability groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced, and then they went with their instructor and member of staff for their first day skiing.
Student reflections of the day:
Advanced (Henry Brookes)
I enjoyed it because we were pushed beyond our comfort zones going down icey red runs and off piste. We were also taught to turn better and we did jumps.
Intermediates (Muz Shaikh)
Ranging from intermediates to just capable skiers, we had the whole lot in our group. Despite this, we still all attempted the harder blue runs, even if it meant rolling half way down! The focus of today's session was perfecting the parallel turning.
Beginners
Today we learnt how to snow plough- for some of us we had to learn how to walk in our ski boots first!! We can also parallel walk up the nursery slope.
