Italy Ski Trip 2022

On the first day of the hrist as holidays students and si staff embarked on a skiing adventure. Our destination, Folgarida Italy. After a long day of travel, we arrived in resort. Day one was a day of beautiful blue skies and wonderful skiing. The beginners progressed quickly and were using a chair lift almost immediately. The weather remained in our favour almost all week, with wonderful views and great snow. It even snowed overnight into the last day, so everyone got an opportunity to experience a ‘powder day’. Huge progress was made by all the skiers, and even the experts a ongst the were able to show off new skills. The ski instructors were amazing. Evening activities consisted of quizzes, chilling, Ackworth’s Next Top Model, and on the last night, pizza and karaoke.

Anyone who’s heard about the Ski trip to Folgardia, in Italy, will know there were moments where it wasn’t only the slopes that were heading downhill. However, we didn’t let that stop us from making the most of the beautiful mountains we had for a week. The skiing was fantastic, considering y li ited skills on the first day they felt almost Olympic standard (to me) by the end of the last day. Even when things weren’t going to plan, being around friends and laughter makes it all so worthwhile. Wonderful memories were made from going to the pizzeria and the shop in the village every evening, the BeReals and photos taken on the slopes, pitstops for the tastiest hot chocolates ever and eating pasta every day for lunch.

We had some of the funniest ski instructors who never failed to make us laugh or put a smile on our faces, Andrea being y group’s favourite he brought food for us, ade jokes and not to mention making us panic believing we were going to a different ountain four hours away H DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT A YORKSHIRE PUDDING WAS. The joy of a school trip is that you never quite know how the trip will play out, and it’s fair to say that none of us

were expecting what happened. But these are the memories that will be the best to look back on in years to come and laugh about. We cannot thank Miss Clark enough for leading such a wonderful trip, we had a great experience and learnt a lot.

Folgarida 2022 was the best holiday I have been on. This was y first trip with school despite now being in the Sixth Form and it was great. From the food to the skiing itself, it was worth the journey from Ackworth. My sister and I have never been skiing before and have always wanted to, so this opportunity was ideal. Once up the slopes, the sub-zero temperatures weren’t noticeable due to the instructors keeping us on our toes and challenging us with exercises, not to mention the adrenaline rush of downhill skiing. Big thanks to Miss lark and the other staff who volunteered to give up their hrist as holiday to take students on a great trip

Italy is an amazing place for a Christmas holiday. It really was a ountain paradise There were so e beautiful landscapes you could enjoy every day while skiing. We got to try delicious Italian pizza and gelato. We got lucky most days and the snow was quite soft which made skiing even more enjoyable, especially with snow falling from the sky whilst your enjoying the view, which was another beautiful sight to see up in the mountains. We did karaoke on the last day of the ski trip which made it made really fun and exciting. Thank you to all the amazing teachers that made this trip a e orable one, these e ories will definitely last a lifetime.
