Junior Ski Trip

On December 18, as a busy Autumn term drew to a close, 62 students from Second Form to Fifth Form packed their bags and headed off to Saas-Grund and Saas-Fee in Switzerland for an action-packed week of skiing.

The group was treated to three days of exceptional conditions with blue skies and lots of fresh snow. The beginners progressed quickly, and the more advanced groups enjoyed learning how to ski in ungroomed conditions.

Stormy condition forced the closure of the resort for the other two days meaning lots of fun messing around on the beginner slopes, sledding, snowshoeing and souvenir-shopping in Saas-Fee village. In the evenings after dinner, students enjoyed family fortunes, bingo, ice skating, mini-Olympics and the increasingly infamous nightly disco. At the end of the trip, Reigate’s Got Talent was won by a group of Second Form boys led by Billy R.
