A group of 42 students and six staff travelled to Passo Tonale in Italy to enjoy six days of skiing in a glacier resort in the Rhaetian Alps, between the Lombardy and Trentino regions of Italy.  The first day skiing was done whilst it was actually snowing but the rest of the days the weather was 'warm' and sunny.  The students were split into four skiing groups: two beginner groups, an intermediate group and an advanced group.  There are 100 km of pistes full of sweeping slopes in the resort so there was plenty of skiing for all abilities.

The village height is 1800 metres but some of the groups got to visit the glacier and be at a height of 3000 metres with 360 degree panoramic views of the region which were simply amazing.  

All students made progress as they moved through the week and all got to take part in a slalom race with Isaac Phillips in Year 10 coming out as the fastest student overall and in the advanced group.  Hayden Smith in Year 10 was the fastest in the intermediate group, Oliver Buck in Year 13 was the fastest in one of the beginner groups and Ozzie Harizaj in Year 10 was the fastest in the other beginner group.
