We all safely arrived in Sierra Nevada between 5-6 pm and checked into our rooms. All pupils are happy with their rooms and sharing with people from their schools. Afterwards, we headed out to collect our ski equipment but arriving on a Sunday afternoon comes with some difficulties.
As some of you may know, many people leave Sierra Nevada on a Sunday and the roads were full of stationary cars. Unfortunately, there was no way of getting the bus down to the plaza (unless we waited for a few hours!), so we made the decision to walk down. Our ski monitors were excellent and changed their plans to ensure we were all safe. They provided us a safe path to the plaza, then once all pupils had been given their equipment, they kept all of the equipment in the plaza so we didn't have to carry them far. With the roads still blocked, we walked back up to find our ski boots at the top!
After a tiring journey, we had a buffet style dinner in the dining room followed by a small talk from staff and then went to bed! All pupils are safely tucked up in bed and awaiting a day of skiing tomorrow.
Please have a look at the pictures/video below. Please note, if you do not see your child on these photos, do not worry. There are a lot of pupils here and there is no way we can have all pupils on all of the photos. I will try to update the blog as soon as I can tomorrow, but as i'm sure you can appreciate, I must make sure the pupils are seen to first.
