Snow Sports 2020

QM Snow Patrol Head back to Austria


Having taken sometime to get sufficient numbers our ski tour operator for 2020 has come up with a great 'last minute' ski deal. This deal should allow the Snow Patrollers to keep on skiing. This will be the 19th annual trip in the current format.

The Sport Amade is one of Austria's great ski areas with over 750km of skiing possible. We will be skiing in the area of Wagrain which gives us access to the FIS area of Flachau and the charming resort of St. Johann.

Students will ski or snowboard for 6 days and have 4 hours of instruction per day on a full board basis at the excellent Jugendhotel Saringgut. Our coach tour will leave school on Friday 14th February and return on Saturday 22nd February 2020.


Good for your German listening!



Wow - what an amazing place. You could be there. See Mr. Hinks for an update letter. We only have limited places so please do not delay.

Remember... "If you don't ski this year, you will be one year older when you do" Warren Miller
