Going Higher at Santa Caterina
Our second day in Santa Caterina looks to just as good as the first. Everyone has filled up at breakfast and is ready to ski again. Leo and Rolando hope to get their groups moving higher. Silvano is going to explore more of the mountain with group 3.

Everyone managed to get up to the mid mountain before lunch with their skis. This is a great step forward.
After lunch the students in Leo's and Rolando's groups had all afternoon to master the button lift and the blue slope either side. This was an eventful afternoon for some students. Our splat nomination had a record number of votes... Hannah. Great achievement by all. Group 3 have built up kore miles travelling around the tops of Santa Caterina. Their favourite is sunny Valley and it powder fields and the epic jump they mostly all like to take in. Evelyn. Videos will be added later.

Everyone tomorrow will be skiing at the World Cup resort and host to the 2026 Winter Olympics, Bormio. This will mean it will be first gondola and cable car rides for many of our new Snow Patrollers.
Once we finished skiing we loaded our kit on the coach and headed for the lovely bar at the bottom of the pistes where the indulgent Italian hot chocolates was served with or without cream! Absolutely divine. This was them followed by several snowball melee and some epic toboggan runs down the bottom of the red piste. Who does not love a ride on a toboggan?

Once back at the hotel and all having a freshen up we were given yet another wonderful Italian meal. 4 wonderful courses. We had our splat and dude nomination. there were some brilliant stories told and as excellent as Evelyn's powder splat was Hannah's repeated falls and involvement in the human domino effect, 3 times it was no surprise to find that
Splat went to Hannah

Hi everyone. Wow, look at those conditions. The best of everything in Italy (sunshine, slopes and food). Hope you're all having a great time, Fiona (Mrs. H).
