Day 5 Kleinarl in the Sun (occasionally!)

With slightly better weather this morning we headed up the mountain to Kleinarl to play in the fun park. With fresh powder under our skis we all skied the red down to the café for a quick hot chocolate. All groups then headed over the peak to tackle the fun park and extreme powder. Group four managed a couple of jumps and the headed down their first ski route of the week. Group three followed also having fun in the deep snow and group two weren’t too far behind. Group one spent most of the day playing on the jumps, in the deep powder and in the half pipe! There should be some good photos in the gallery later.

In the afternoon we headed down the mountain with the beginners, who have improved so much they are more improvers now. The other groups had a couple of extra runs before skiing all the way down to the bottom.

It’s the presentation evening tonight so we will be giving out certificates and awards across all the groups and some fancy dress prizes too.

Tomorrow is our last day on the slopes and we are heading back to Zauchensee. This will probably be the last blog of the week so we hope you have enjoyed following our adventures every day and we look forward to seeing you all at Notley High School on Saturday morning to collect your children. We will send out a school comms message when we reach English soil. We are hoping to arrive approximately 9.30am so please make sure you have your mobiles switched on to receive the message.

 


 

Note from Geek: I've uploaded all the presentation photos and about a third of the Kleinarl ones I took (haven't even started on the other staff's shots yet!) Much as I love editing photos and generally geeking out it's now midnight for the third night in a row and I'm falling asleep at my keyboard. The other shots will have to wait until we get back to school. I'll make sure all the students get a disc with all the master shots so please chivvy them to look out for a message on the screens round the school. Hope you've enjoyed the uploaded photos - there will be many more on the disc!

    Looks like you had a brill certificate handout! Enjoy your skiing before coming home. Rather you than me - trying to get all that luggage back in the coach !!! Just make sure you get them locker doors clamped down - remember, there's no Wendy to supervise it all this time. LOL
