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!
