The weather throughout the trip was nothing short of spectacular. The skies were clear and sunny, providing perfect skiing conditions for our group. On some days, tiny snowflakes fell gently from the sky, sparkling like glitter, creating a magical atmosphere on the mountain. These ideal conditions were not only enjoyable for skiing but also added to the overall experience of being in the heart of the Austrian Alps.

Over half of our students were complete beginners, and it was inspiring to watch their rapid progress throughout the week. With the help of expert instructors, students quickly gained confidence and developed their skiing technique. By the fourth day, all of the groups were skiing on the mountain, demonstrating impressive skills and technique that surpassed even their own expectations. The determination and teamwork displayed by the students were truly remarkable, making for an exciting and rewarding week on the slopes.

While skiing was the highlight of the day, the après-ski activities kept everyone busy and entertained long after the slopes closed. Our students embraced the Tyrolean culture with an evening of Tyrolean dancing, where they learned traditional dances and had a lot of fun. The Amande Thermal Baths provided a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, offering an opportunity for the students to unwind and enjoy some downtime in the warm, soothing waters.

One of the trip's standout moments was the thrilling ride on the Lucky Flitzer Air Roller Coaster. This unique experience had everyone laughing and screaming with excitement as they zoomed through the twists and turns of the roller coaster. It was a fantastic way to end an action-packed day.

The atmosphere was filled with positivity, and the students’ enthusiasm and energy were contagious. The staff were impressed by how well the students worked together, supported each other, and embraced the challenges of skiing in the mountains. It was clear that the trip was not only a valuable learning experience but also a chance for everyone to bond and create lasting memories.

Overall, the visit was a resounding success. The students’ progress on the slopes was extraordinary, and their participation in après-ski activities showcased their enthusiasm and adventurous spirit. The weather, the skiing, and the wonderful range of activities made this trip one to remember. Everyone returned home with great stories to tell, new friendships formed, and a deeper appreciation for skiing and the beauty of the Alps. It was a truly fantastic experience for all.
