Day Four in Bardonecchia – Confidence on the Slopes and Fun Off Them!

 

Day four of our ski adventure, and it’s been incredible to watch the progress our young people have made. All of our pupils have now mastered the chair lift, and they’re confidently stopping and turning with ease—a fantastic achievement in just a few days!

Two of our groups have become such accomplished skiers that they’re now exploring the mountain, tackling a combination of blue and red runs with enthusiasm and skill. It’s amazing to see their confidence grow as they navigate the slopes.

Off the slopes, the fun hasn’t stopped! Our après-ski activities have been a big hit, with highlights including a lively games night, a tour of the picturesque town, and, of course, a delicious pizza night. The camaraderie and energy from everyone have made this trip even more special.

What’s perhaps most remarkable is that many of our pupils had never skied before this week. To see them skiing so confidently and enjoying every moment is truly inspiring—they should all be incredibly proud of themselves.

Tomorrow is our final day on the slopes, and we’re hoping to make it one to remember. Let’s finish strong—here’s to an unforgettable last day!

Day Two on the Slopes – Progress and Excitement in Bardonecchia

Day two of skiing has been nothing short of amazing as we watch the young people of King’s Park take on the slopes of Bardonecchia, Italy. The progress they’ve made in such a short time is truly impressive!

Today, three of our ski groups confidently rode the chair lift to explore new terrain, while one group took on their first red run—a fantastic achievement and a clear sign of their growing skills and confidence.

We couldn’t be prouder of our pupils and the effort they’re putting in. Their enthusiasm and determination are inspiring, and we can’t wait to see how much more they will accomplish as the week continues.
