The annual College ski trip took place this February half term to Aprica in Italy. Twenty two students and three members of staff flew to Italy on Saturday 9th February to enjoy six days of skiing in the resort of Aprica. Aprica is a small resort in the Italian Dolomites but with 50km of marked piste it provided more than a challenge for the students on the trip.
With snow fall being plentiful this season the group took advantage of the well groomed pistes and excellent snow conditions. Six days of blue skies and endless sunshine enabled the group to really get the most out of the skiing and enjoy the stunning surroundings. The beginners in particular made excellent progress and the resort is certainly geared up to enhancing their experience with a number of progressively more challenging runs on the nursery slopes. Students took part in four hours of ski lessons a day before enjoying the luxury of being able to ski back to the hotel door.
Each evening a full programme of entertainment was organised including swimming, ice skating and a Valentine’s disco. Next years ski trip is planned for Stowe, USA. More details to follow . .
