Ski Austria - Novice & Intermediate with Ase, Derek, Faye & Nina

 Ski Austria - Novice & Intermediate 

Returning to the snowy Austrian mountains felt like coming home. We met our ski instructors, who greeted us with warm smiles and boundless enthusiasm, ready to guide us through the slopes with expert advice and encouragement.

Matthew wasted no time heading straight to the top of the red run. It was an exhilarating challenge, the steep, powdery terrain tested his skills as he competently carved through the snow, with the stunning views of the valley unfolding below.

Starting on the nursery slope, the rest of the group felt a mix of excitement and nerves, as the gentle incline gave them the perfect opportunity to practice their balance and technique, with the instructors patiently guiding them every step of the way.

Andy was determined to tackle the mogul conditions. These were tough but thrilling, with the uneven, icy bumps demanding precise control and quick reactions. 

With smiles on our faces, we were taught to turn using a variety of different skills and drills which helped us focused on turning our body down to the valley. 

The progress made throughout the week was evident, as our skiers stood tall, their skills refined and confidence boosted. This was especially evident when they headed up to a more advance slope using the T- bar drag lift. What an amazing achievement. 

We all met up at our favourite restaurant, the Go-Gosau for some lunch in the glorious sunshine. The atmosphere was buzzing with Austrian music where we couldn't resist a little boogie! 

The skiing award ceremony was a moment of celebration, with cheers and applause echoing through the room as the group all received a medal and postcard. Everyone's faces beaming with pride and accomplishment after a a week of hard work, determination but most importantly fun!
