The final ski day
Fancy Dress
A beautiful day for our final ski at the loaf
 |
| Good morning from the loaf (06.35 EDT -11.35 BST) |
After another early breakfast at 7.30am, the QM Snowpatrol headed off to their rooms to prepare themselves for a day in fancy dress.
The standards were high again this year. I am pleased to report that all the students have had a fabulous day skiing on some good snow. Everyone is now off the mountain relaxing, hot tubbing and showering for our evening meal and presentations.

QMHS Ski legend 2014 - Kayleigh Hill
Kayleigh has skied with her family many times before joining QM; however, when she got the chance to ski on the QM Snowpatrol in year 8 she did. That was 6 year's ago and she has been on every trip since. This is lucky and special, as Kayleigh moved to the senior years she has also been very helpful in organising the blog and cutting videos together, for which we are all really grateful. Kayleigh is only one of a few girls to be presented with this award. Kayleigh has skied at the following resorts:-
2009 - Northstar-at-Tahoe, CA, USA
2010 - Jungfrau, Switzerland
2011 - Crystal Mountain, WA, USA
2012 - Waterville Valley, NH, USA
2013 - Claviere, Italy
2014 - Sunday River & Suagrloaf, ME, USA

Although everyone has not had an award the 36 student have all been amazing and have developed their skiing to another level so well done to everyone.
The way the day began...
Mr. Curry's use of the golden shirt saw his skiing go from good to the stratospheric.
Next... road trip to New York City.
I hope you have all enjoyed our ski experience and remember as Warren Miller would say... 'If you don't ski this year you will be one year older when you do'
Next up for the QM Snowpatrol is the Spanish Pyrenees - Cerler
