We have arrived!

After a rather delayed journey due to our flight being delayed we have all arrived, eaten our 3 course meal and even get our skis and boots fitted. We're now all heading to bed for a good nights sleep before hitting the slopes in the morning!

Ski lessons

Before heading out to France, all of the students have had some ski lessons on the dry slopes at Swadlincote.  It was great to see how quickly they picked it up and by the end of the two sessions the majority of them were able to do some turns and most importantly knew how to stop!
