Day 4 on the slopes

What a day of success we had today! A massive shout out must go to Ben, Kody, Morgan and Will for completing their first ever black run after being promoted to the intermediate group in the morning after only 3 days of skiing. A fantastic achievement for the boys. The advanced group also took on the main black run of Aprica in the morning which they thoroughly enjoyed due to the speed of the run.

Yet again we were blessed to have fantastic weather with clear blue skies, temperatures roaring and the lift music systems keeping all in high spirits. Today was the first time that every single group made it to the top of the mountain which was an achievement in itself. Again, there were jumps and tumbles but the pupils and staff by now could all consider themselves as skiers due to their improved technique and control.

In the afternoon, it was time for the ESJ giant slalom competition to see who the fastest pupil was from each group. The event was a great success with pupils flying through the course and cheering one another on (results to follow today).


The day was finished off with a night of ice skating which was a great way to spend our final night together. It must be said that it feels as though 43 friends have come away rather than a school trip as all children have represented themselves and the school in a superb manner whilst having fun with the teachers.
