On Saturday 10 February, no fewer than 47 students from Years 10, 11, 12 and 13 flew out to Alpe d’Huez in France.
Six days of mostly sunny conditions meant the students were out all day, every day, improving their skiing. In fact, no time was wasted, with lessons each day building their confidence and technique.
Kings of the slopes
With the standard of skiing across all groups highly impressive, the Most Improved Skier award went to Aryaveer (10R2).
In the advanced group, the Ski King award was handed to Alex (L6C1) by the instructor. Two further awards were presented at the end of the week. The Skier of the Tour was voted for by students and went to Reece (10R2), while a second Skier of the Tour voted for by staff went to Krish (11S1).
A great credit to Habs
Throughout the week, the students coped with the physical demands incredibly well, conducting themselves superbly.
Indeed, the hotel staff were delighted with the good manners and general behaviour of the group, with many students ranking it as one of the best school trips they had been on.
Needless to say, a big thank you to all Habs staff who made the adventure happen, namely Mr Andrew Simm, Mr Hardman, Dr Hobbs, Miss Barron and Ms Willows.
