SJS Exciting Adventures on the Slopes: A Recap of Our Ski Trip to Sauze d’Oulx
In late March, the school embarked on an unforgettable ski trip to the stunning Via Lattea—Sauze d’Oulx resort. Packed with thrilling slopes, breathtaking scenery, and a plethora of activities, this journey was an exhilarating experience for all involved.
A group of 34 enthusiastic students from Years 8, 9, and 10, ranging from beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders, eagerly joined the expedition. Each day presented new challenges and opportunities for growth as they honed their skills on the snow-covered mountains.
Throughout the week, our students not only sharpened their skiing and snowboarding techniques but also gained a tremendous boost in confidence. From mastering their first turns to conquering more advanced slopes, every moment on the slopes was filled with excitement and accomplishment.
In addition to the thrilling days spent on the mountainside, our evenings were just as vibrant and memorable. We ventured into town to soak in the local culture, indulged in adrenaline-pumping rounds of laser tag, and even treated ourselves to a relaxing spa session – the perfect way to unwind after an action-packed day on the slopes.
The weather could not have been more perfect, with sunny skies greeting us on the first day, followed by refreshing snowfall on Tuesday and Wednesday. These ideal conditions ensured that our skiing and snowboarding experiences were nothing short of spectacular throughout the entire week.
Beyond the adrenaline-fueled adventures and picturesque landscapes, what truly made this trip remarkable was the sense of camaraderie and friendship that blossomed among our students. As they shared laughter, supported one another on the slopes, and bonded over shared experiences, new friendships were forged, creating lasting memories that will be cherished for years to come.
As we bid farewell to the picturesque slopes of Sauze d’Oulx, we reflect on the incredible journey we embarked on - a journey filled with excitement, growth, and unforgettable moments. Our ski trip was not just about conquering the mountains; it was about coming together as a community, pushing boundaries, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Until next time, Sauze d’Oulx – thank you for an adventure we will never forget.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the dedicated staff members who made our ski trip possible. Mr. Grant, Mr. Feist, Miss Mills, and Miss Small, your unwavering care and support throughout the week and during the Easter holidays were truly appreciated.
