Upper School Skiing trip to Serre Chevalier

On all but one day of this year’s trip to the slopes in France we had bright sunshine and excellent skiing conditions. Indeed, the one bad day, when it snowed continuously for 24 hours, in many ways made the later days all the better, skiing on fresh snow.
Mr Smith celebrated his forthcoming retirement by joining the party for the first time and our mix of students from the 2 Sixth Form year groups proved to be a particularly fortunate one, with a great sense of camaraderie across the whole group.
We are fortunate enough to have some very good skiers in the upper school, but they impressed also with their willingness to look after each other and particularly helped those of lesser ability to grow in confidence. It is a testament to the success of the trip that all places for next year, at Chatel, were filled within 3 weeks of launching the trip!
