Demand far exceeded expectations, with nearly 50 (Year 5-7) pupils from across the Foundation attending over the two sessions. With those who can already ski gaining a taste of basic ski racing, and many pupils hitting the beginner slopes to learn to ski for the first time, the sessions proved a great success.

Several of the beginners are aiming to prepare before going on school ski trips next winter and this training hopefully will provide them with the basic skills for when they reach the snow. A number of pupils who have skied before have the potential to join our existing race teams, which should result in a stronger Foundation presence at forthcoming Regional and National Schools Ski Races.

We hope to be able to offer more sessions for all in the very near future. Watch this space for news of more taster sessions in the autumn too!
