Wednesday 7th March

Wednesday marked an action packed day, as all groups travelled further across the mountains. Our returner group journeyed past Chatel and to the resort of Linga, showing off some mightily impressive skiing along the way. Our beginner groups skied for the first time with poles and began to master the art of the parallel turn, as they skied across the French border.




Somehow the kids maintained their energy and exerted as much enthusiasm into the evening disco as they do into their skiing. They won the adoration of the secondary school pupils and stole the show with their seriously impressive dance moves!




The answers to yesterday's questions:
  1. Who managed to do their first parallel turn stop whilst they only had one ski - impressively within eyeshot of their instructor and two members of staff? This was Lucy Stephens who is making fantastic progress in her beginner group.
  2. Who managed to turn a fall into a stuntman-esque cartwheel back onto their skis? This was Sam Hepp - who has affectionately been nicknamed 'Yo-yo' by his instructor due to the incredible way he falls down and bounces straight back.
  3. Who were the most majestic skaters at the roller disco? This was Conrad, Josh D and Oliver.
