organise flights home at parents expense.

Never had to be done by our school but need to make you aware.

18

On the mountain Pupils will get bus to ski lift every morning dressed and ready

to ski. We will drive to ski lifts and then put ski/board boots on. We take the ski lift up the mountain all together. Wait with staff in groups until instructors collect students. With instructors for 5 hours (4 hours ski – 1 hour lunch). Staff usually ski with groups. Instructors bring back to ski lift – when all present, we take

lift back down the mountain and take equipment back to coach.

Time of year can be unpredictable. Some days warm with bright sunshine. Others cold, foggy and snowing! We will try to advise as best as we can.

19

Ski groups Groups will be depending on pupils ability. I would recommend pupils learning the basics

prior to the trip as pupils will get to see more of mountain and get a lot more out of trip.

Lessons can be booked with Xscape (Chris Haddleton)

Safety

Helmets are included in the price of the tour. We have included helmets as part of our school

risk assessment. Please reinforce the need to wear them securely

when on the mountain. I would also recommend wrist guards for

to avoid accidents.21
