We work on 8/9 children to 1 instructor ratio.
Grouped by ability
Skiers with the instructors for 6 hours a day – focus is on balance of drills, skill builders and fun in the session.
Tech and Communication Home
Pupils may bring mobile phones and other electronic devices - pupil’s own responsibility
Parent responsibility to check roaming charges in Italy ahead of the trip
Tech will be allowed on the journey out and back.
If you would prefer your child not to have a phone with them there will be a trip mobile that you can speak to them on
Pupils must hand in phones at least 30 mins before bed. We suggest you pack a phone/ tech charging pack and or one extension lead per room.
Free wifi is available in communal areas of the hotel
We aim for pupils to have time every day to call home, but this might not be possible or might be a small window in between all the fun activities.
Please work to the understanding that ‘ NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!’
