La vita è bella !
It has been such a wonderful week.... Our absolute pleasure to ski with the girls!
Final Day on the Piste
Today has been tremendous fun. All groups have thoroughly enjoyed skiing a range of pistes across the mountain range.
The highlight of the day had to be when all four groups ventured up the Glacier and skied various runs.... From Blue to Black!

Captions please......!!??
Dr McWatt and John have purchased some rather 'bright' ski wear! Needless to say, they will be easily identified on the slopes!!!
Day 4 on the piste
We have all had a fabulous day's skiing. The pistes were rather challenging this morning however after the rain yesterday afternoon and a freeze overnight! Hard ice made for a eventful morning's ski !
The Beginners group have progressed very well.... Completion of an easy Red run and adventure in the ski park!
The Advanced Beginners also enjoyed the ski park and experienced the variety of Red runs in Tonale. They have learnt how to complete parallel turns. Well done!
The Intermediate group skied Ponte do Legno this morning... Tough going down the Black Run on icy snow but our girls completed it with grit and determination! After skiing Santa Guilia (a new valley), they completed the Glacier from top of the mountain to the bottom!
The Advanced Group enjoyed a morning's ski in the Tonale Valley and with the Intermediate group, skied the Glacier this afternoon. Well done girls!

Gelato !!
The girls loved the gelato especially as they could choose three whole scoops of delicious Italian flavours... All topped with 'crema'. Let's hope they've made some room for dinner this evening!!?
Day 3 on the piste
The weather has been a little changeable today.... We managed to complete our ski lessons before the rain set in (phew!).
The Beginners group have progressed very well indeed on the Blue runs. Well done to the Advanced Beginners who completed their first Red run!
The Intermediate and Advvanced groups have skied Ponte di Legno which is the adjacent valley to Tonale. This afternoon both groups skied the glacier..... Black run all the way down to the bottom! Well done girls!
Quiz Night
John acted as Quiz Master.
Well done to Gabrielle's group for the most inventive team name..... 'The Snow Leopards'!
First day on the piste!
The weather has been just glorious, blue skies and sunshine!
The Beginners group have done brilliantly. After mastering the nursery slope and button lift, they were all able to complete an easy Blue run back to the hotel this afternoon. Well done girls!
Both the Intermediate and Advanced groups thoroughly enjoyed skiing Red runs today. A few bumps and falls but as always, our Merchants' girls show their resilience and give it their best effort!
The photographs show luncheon in the sunshine...... How civilised!
