Hermie goes skiing in the French Alps with the Hermitage School







Some days it was warmer to hitch a ride onto the slopes in a bag pack. The views were spectacular and the sun was strong, think I should be wearing sun goggles to combat the glare!












I even had a go at bum boarding one evening as it was an après ski activity. I wasn’t as fast as some of the students as they were stronger than me and travelled tremendous distances. I fell off many times but didn’t hurt myself as I had plenty of padding with my warm coat!








The ‘Roc N Bob’ looked very challenging so I thought I should pass on this incase I ended up in the medical centre in the village.












The week away was almost over, this is my last day in resort and the students have been brilliant, their skiing had improved so much since the first day, just look at them coming down the slopes. It has been weather perfect, blue skies not a cloud to be seen all week.

We have been so very lucky and no one has broken any limbs. Even I have survived my first ski experience, what an exciting time I’m having ….cant wait for my next adventure!!
