Au revoir Glenshee 2011!

It's been a fantastic few days up here at Glenshee. Despite some mixed weather conditions, we've managed to get in lots of boarding and skiing- all the pupils are more confident than they've ever been in their chosen sport. We've had a super time relaxing in the evenings- we'll all miss the log fire!

Everyone has behaved excellently. Mr J and Miss R have had lots of compliments from staff and visitors at the centre about our pupils:)

Goodbye 'till next year, Glenshee!

Glenshee 2011: Climbing and a fashion show!

The skiers returned to the centre for lunch and warmer activities! We've had great fun this afternoon.

Here are the climbers:



































































After climbing, we relaxed in the games room with pool, ping pong.... and a fashion show after Ellie found the Compass dressing up box!

A wonderful dreich morning!

We arrived at the slopes this morning to mist, a damp biting wind and very poor visibility! Undeterred, the skiers have ventured out for the morning, whilst the intrepid boarders have decided to do another full day.

































Meanwhile, Jess and Chloe joined Miss R at basecamp, where we took a walk in the general direction of Braemar before returning to the Cafe for hot chocolate.






The skiers have returned to the centre for lunch and this afternoon they will choose from activities at the Centre of a slightly warmer nature! Photos coming soon....
