The children are making such progress on the slopes of Pila with everyone, including our beginners, tackling red runs and the more advanced in the party attacking tricky reds, a few blacks and spending time in the ski park.

Staff and pupils alike have enjoyed the array of apres-ski evenings which, tonight, will include the ski-school presentations on the mountain followed by Mr Laughton’s now-legendary ski trip quiz.

It’s been a fabulous week.
