Friday's adventures ...
After the dumping down of snow, Friday's skiing was very 'interesting' to say the least! At times we were skiing through snow up to our waist and many a student had a little 'tumble' :-)
Even though many lifts and runs were closed due to heavy snow, all groups skied.
Unfortunately due to the risk of avalanches we are not able to ski La Sarenne (the 16km run from Pic Blanc) .... gutted! :-(
Tonights apres ski was a huge hit with all the students; we went down to Sharkeys bar for an evening with Right Said Fred (well, not quite .... more like Mr Waring & Paul) on karaoke. Almost all students exercised their vocal chords, especially Abbie Ullah, Emily Merry & Emily Grant. We had everything from The Temptations to Linkin Park; but I think it was Harry Wall & Jake Archer who stole the show with a certain song from South Park ... hysterical!
Photos of tonights activities will be loaded on the blog tomorrow, so keep checking!
Signing out for tonight, so good night all!

Thursday's adventures in Alpe D'Huez
Having not had snow for about a week, the slopes are getting quite compacted and icy ... snow is forecast for tonight so fingers crossed!
All groups have had another great day on the slopes, group 1 have been up to 3060 to see the sights over the valley. In the distance, we could even see the the resort of Les Deux Alpes. Group 2 are still exploring the runs of the second station, tackling the long winding blues whilst working on their technique. Group 3 have been developing their parallel turns on the first station.
Everyone's been working really well on developing their skiing; I think we've got a few potential ski instructors in the making!
Tonight's apres ski activity saw us tackling 'Invertigo', an elevated assault course at the leisure centre. Equipped with a gorgeous hairnet, helmet and special shoes, students climbed netting, rode unicycles and crawled through rope tunnels. Wait until you check out the pictures ... there'll be some great blackmailing opportunities!

Daniel Hathaway's quote ..
"Missing everyone at home but having fun out here. I'm not falling over as much now and I'm now learning how to parallel turn. Can't wait to see you!"
Wednesday's adventures ...
It's 8pm and we are all chilling out in the hotel lounge, having a pool competition, playing the Wii and getting ready to watch Toy Story 3 .... oh, and watching Azeem sleeping on the sofa!
We've had another amazing day on the slopes; everyone's been up skiing at some point, even Harry has managed to navigate the nursery slopes without kissing snow and hugging the snow-cannon!
Group 1 have been ripping up the red & black slopes from the middle stations and have even been venturing over the next valley of Oz. Group 2 have also ventured up to the middle station and over the valley. Group 3 have finally made it off the beginners slopes and on to the DMC bubble lift to station 1 ... Woop woop!
Tonights awards:
Wipeout of the day - even beating Abbie Ullah's snow cannon kiss yesterday: Jacob McCarthy (check out today's pics for the evidence)
Perseverance of the day - even though she has been feeling poorly with a sore throat: Alice Pritchard
Trier of the day - just getting on with it even when the going got tough: Jack Pearce
Signing out for the evening now, as the movie is about to start ... bon soir/nos da!

Casey Brooke Mann's quote
"Everyone's amazing, including Watty and Paul except Parky & Clive (AKA: Waring), they keep winding me up. I love everyone:)"
The 1st Day ...
Well, here we are sat in the lounge area awaiting our second apres ski activity of the day - Town Trail. All students are being allocated into groups to explore the village and answer a variety of questions. The winning group will get a hot chocolate!
The first activity of ice skating was a roaring success. . .students spent more time on their 'derriere ' than on their feet! After a conga line of Christmas songs we headed to the nearest creperie for a chocolat chaud :-)
And now for the most important bit ... we had a fab day skiing, students progressed really fast and are starting to explore the variety of slopes that this resort offers. The resort is really impressive and the hotel staff have been exceptionally accomodating.
Today's awards:
Group 3 'Smiler of the day' - Kitty Flannelly:
She skied really well, picking up the basics and is sure to progress to a high standard by the end of the week.
Group 2 'Best technique of the day' - Joshua Firth:
He skied really well and showed that prior preparation will ensure he gets the full potential.
Group 1 'Quiet faller of the day' - Cerys Francis:
Having not skied as part of a ski group before, Cerys literally threw herself into the experience and has proven she can fall with the best of them!
We are signing off now but keep an eye on the blog for an update of pics and messages off your little darlings :-) Bon Soir!

We have arrived!
After an ardous journey crossing the Swiss border and climbing up the French Alpes - 21 bends, all of which are on the highest point of the Tour De France - we have arrived!
All pupils behaved impeccably through the check-in at Gatwick, getting on and off the flight and on the bus journey.
Rooms have been allocated, we've been fed and watered (twice) and pupils are now having some 'free time' and settling down to watch X-Factor - come on Rebecca!
Conditions are good, snow is compact and the sun is forecast to shine; so it's plenty of sun lotion for our first day on the slopes tomorrow.
We are signing off now, so a bientot bon nuit!
Ps: don't forget to check out our piccies :-)

Amendment to Parents Evening
Below is acopy of the letter sent out to parents/carers to notify them about the amendment to parents evening:
Dear parent/carer,
RE: Change to Ski-trip Parents Evening & resort
I am writing to inform you of some important changes to the forthcoming ski trip and parents evening. Unfortunately, due to a clash with Awards evening, the parents evening will take place at on Thursday 21st October 2010 in the staff room from 6pm – 7:15pm. As previously notified, Coyoti ski shop from Cowbridge will be on hand to advise you on what’s necessary to keep your son or daughter as comfortable and warm on the slopes this winter. If your son/daughter is new to the sport, Coyoti and accompanying members of staff will answer any questions that you may have.
As the hotel Plein Sud in Valloire will no longer be opening on the first week of the ski-season, Skibound have upgraded us free of charge to their Club Hotel Belle-Aurore in Alpe D’Huez. Alpe D’Huez has one of the largest skiing areas in France and is a far more expensive and snow-sure resort. So it seems like we’ve landed on our feet! I trust that this causes no inconvenience.
Below is the link to the hotel:
http://www.skibound.co.uk/destination/france/alpe-dhuez/clubhotel-belle-aurore
Due to insurance purposes and the health and safety of your child, it is essential that we are informed of any medical conditions and/or food intolerances that your son/daughter may have. Please find enclosed a medical questionnaire that you are required to complete and sign. Furthermore, you will need to ensure your son or daughter has a valid passport with at least 6 months validity before it expires. They will also need to ensure they have an EHIC card (which has replaced the E111 form). Please will you arrange for your son or daughter to bring their passport, completed medical questionnaire and EHIC card to Mrs S. Lampitt (Finance Assistant) by Friday 29th September. If you are travelling abroad after that date and need to keep hold of the passport, then can you please provide us with the passport number, date of issue, date of expiry, Country of residence & Country of issue.
If you have any further queries or wish to discuss any other issues regarding the ski-trip, please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

Fitness For Skiing
Fitness exercises for skiing, should not be ignored, as skiing is for most people a recreational sport that they participate in once a year. For this reason most individuals are poorly conditioned prior to their skiing activity, and pay the price of sore muscles, reduced time on the slopes and injury.

Items You May Need!
• Jacket and salopettes (trousers): a weatherproof outer layer of jacket and trousers provides the best defence against the element.
• Ski gloves: these are a must, especially for novices whose hands come into frequent contact with the snow.
• A warm, comfortable hat: with 25% of your body heat escaping through your head, it’s a crucial piece of ski clothing.
• Sunglasses: the sun’s rays are reflected off the snow, so full UV protection is essential.
• Goggles: they are optional, but in snowy or overcast conditions goggles may be necessary.
• Thermal underwear: these need to ‘wick’ away body moisture to help keep the body dry which reduces the chances of becoming chilled.
• Thermal socks: it is recommended that you take at least 2 pairs of socks they can be alternated every day.
• Suncream and lipsalve: protection against sun burn is essential as the sun’s strength at high altitude is very strong.
• Ski ties: a pair of Velcro ties can make your life alot easier. They hold skies together when carrying or storing. You can write your name on them to identify your hired skis.
• Snow boots/après ski boots or shoes: these should have grips on the soles.
• Cotton/microfleece/polo neck top: these form your second layer and keep your neck warm. Cotton and fleece are used as they help to absorb moisture.
• Fleece or sweatshirt: used for additional warmth. Fleece is used more often as it is light and has excellent thermal properties.
• Small rucksack: Especially useful if out on the slopes all day. Ideal for carrying spare clothing, packed lunches and cameras.
• Pocket money: no more than £130 put into separate envelopes for each day. Please remember to put name and day on each envelope and given to Ms Watkins.
• 50E room deposit: also placed in envelope with name on and given to Ms Watkins.
• Towels
• Medication/pain relief/plasters
• European adapter if wishing to use electrical goods.
• Hairdryer / straighteners
*Camera/MP3 player/Mobile Phones at own risk*
