Skiing - Day 1

We couldn't have asked for better weather for our first day on the slopes, a glorious sunny day with blue sky. The two beginner groups started on the nursery slopes just to find their feet and progressed so well that before lunch they did their first run back down to the bottom. The intermediate group went straight for the chair lift and quickly improved as the morning went on. Homemade pizza, chips and salad was their lunch time fuel and the afternoon session went really quickly, with everyone saying how much they had enjoyed their day! After tea (what's a Sunday without a roast dinner?!) we did a town trail where students got to know Risoul and went out with a map and a quiz. Hot chocolate was provided for them all afterwards before an early(ish) night, which was needed after the busy day they've had!
