Day 1 Waterville Valley - Let's go ski

Students were all up and ready for 7.20am. Snow Patrollers were hungry and excited.

Ski fit went super smooth. All done in an hour. Breakfast was a mix of hot and cold. Great crispy bacon, turkey sausages, potatoes, yoghurt, juice and other hot drinks.

Students met up with their instructors and have started lessons.





Everyone had 20$ to spend for lunch due to our late arrival  After filling up and lots of hydration the Snow Patrol ventured out once more. Waterville Valley put on 4 extra instructors to push the students and support their learning. It was amazing to see everyone in groups one and two ride their first chair. Truly awesome.

Groups 3 and 4 explored the mountain and got their ski legs back on. Several hit the terrain park jumps too. Time to recover after the fun of today and the journey we undertook yesterday.

Today's photos and videos to follow:

Snow Fun, let's snowball Mrs. Connell 



Our evening meal gathering was great. A nice range of foods and some more calorific deserts. The best of all was the table conversations and sounds of laughter.

We had our ski nominations for Dudes Splats hat 

Dude went to Zara T

Splat went to Alys

  1. Hey QM Snow Patrol. Love the photos and videos. Conditions look great, though I hope the cloud breaks for you a bit more! Well done Groups 1 and 2. That's amazing, getting on a chair on the first day. No mean feat! St. Nick picked a great location to wind down after the Christmas rush too :-D. Have fun, enjoy and ski safe. Mrs. H :-)
