We awoke to the first real blue bird morning, had a quick breakfast and dressed lightly for the fabulous 9 degree weather. Group 1 worked off the first chair hoping to progress further up the mountain, group 2 skiied over towards Cesana. Group 3 spent the morning in France, skiing on the Colleto Verde side at 2560m doing a black mogul field for the first time. Here are some pictures from the morning:
After a hearty Italian lunch of lasagne the groups ventured out again, to group 1's delight, they had a new instructor called Antony. They went up on the French chair: Les Chalmettes and did a new run, Blue 99. Group 2 had a great time doing lots of big distance skiing, which they really enjoyed as well as learning a few tricks and jumps. Group 3 went to the Chalvet side of Montgenevre and skiied back to the hotel, which impressed the Year 11's immensely.
After the evening meal which included Tiramisu for dessert much to Mr Hinks' delight, we set off up the mountain in search of some snow fun with our bumboards. Anshuman was the bumboarding champion going the furthest but the fun soon turned into a snow melee, which resulted in a boys v girls, students v teachers snowball fight :)

Splat hat went to Mr Hinks for forgetting the Year 11s when we all went bumboarding, in his defence he says "they were late!"
Dude hat went to Nirali for knocking Tom O over with her more aggressive, terrifying war cry.
