Montgenevre Ski Trip 2016 Part 1

Early on Saturday morning 7 pupils and 3 staff set off for The Polygon School's annual ski trip. This year we have returned to Montgenevre in the French Alps. It is a small resort on the the Italian border, but has access to over 100km of skiing! Recently there has been a lack of snow in the area, however over 1 metre of snow fell  on the day before we arrived. Since then it has been blue skies making perfect skiing conditions.

The boys started anxiously however they were able to move quickly on from the nursery slope on Sunday afternoon, thanks to our ski instructor Claude. They are now getting stuck into green and blue runs. Claude and the staff have been very impressed with their progress and their bravery.

As we are now at the half way through the skiing the boys will keep moving up the mountain to longer and more demanding slopes.
