Snow Trip Report

The Year 10 team is proud to announce the snow trip was a huge success with students soaring across the slopes for 4 big days of skiing and snowboarding. After 6 hours of travel on the bus students were ecstatic to hit the mountain on Tuesday with many seeing snow for the first time. After a snowball fight students made their way to their first lessons where they all excelled at developing their skills over the 4 days on the mountain. The staff on the trip were very impressed at how quickly the cohort was able to improve their skills and the way they conducted themselves both on and off the mountain. By day three the students had found their routine and were ready for their early 6 o’clock start and after the bus ride up the mountain everyone was ready to soar down the slopes!

With weather and snow cover over the week in our favor, students and staff were in good spirits and behaved very respectfully on the mountain. With only one visit to the medical center during our time on the mountain we are very proud of the cohort for recognizing their boundaries and working to develop their skills on the mountain in a safe and respectful manner.

The staff were very impressed with the improvements students made during the week to their skiing and snowboarding, with some students confidently completing blue (intermediate) runs with staff and at the end of the week, we were fortunate enough to have clear skies and safe conditions for a black (advanced) slope with supervision from experienced staff members and were pleased to say that everyone made it safely to the bottom and had an amazing time.

The 2023 Snow Trip was a great success and Horsham College would like to thank all of the students in attendance for the way they conducted themselves both on and off of the mountain and we look forward to hearing all of your stories.
