Oh to speak too soon! Last nights evening activity was bum boarding... Straight forward you would think until one member veers off course to wipe out another student... The best part of an hour later, one doctor two paramedics and the fire brigade to move the said pupil off the slopes, into an ambulance and down to the local hospital ! Discharged at midnight with a clean bill of health other than bruising I'm pleased to say. Pupils were excellent during the incident with thought and compassion being given to all involved.
Breakfast was again up to the normal excellent standard although one student was overheard to be looking for bacon! 28/29 students hit the slopes and all had a great time al though towards the end of the session there was a crash! The instructor from the French ski school insisted that the injured party was evacuated from the mountain and checked in hospital. So one lucky student had the joy of a trip down the mountain on a stretcher before being whisked away to Briancon hospital to be checked. Hospital staff were again excellent and three hours later we were all back at the hotel. The afternoon session again had 28/29 students skiing although. Different one missing the session.
A great afternoon for all with some excellent progress being made and some large distances being covered and some good skiing.
Evening entertainment was the ski show with a variety of presentations including hot dog skiing and a display of the history of skiing finished off with a spectacular fireworks display.
Back at the hotel another great evening meal and then fun in the games room to finish off the evening. Tomorrow will be the final day of skiing and if everyone is to make the most of it we all need a good nights sleep.
