Ski Trip 2024
What a fantastic trip! The children have had the most incredible experience; learning to ski and growing in maturity. We hope they will tell you all about their trip and enjoy looking back through these photographs.
Many thanks to Mr Tony McKee and the Liverpool Primary Ski Association.

We're off the slopes, having completed 12 2-hour lessons and sustained no injuries more serious than a minor bump or bruise! Time to get packing now 🧳
Using ski poles for our last lesson...these are for intermediate skiers, not beginners! We have impressed our instructors.
We're on top of the world! 🏔 Skied this morning from Heaven down to Ciuk which is below our hotel. We can't believe the progress made in just 5 days! Only one lesson left 😢

Back in Heaven for another run this afternoon, all the way down to Bormio town. Approximately 9km of pistes! ⛷️

Bormio is a town with a population of about 4,100 located in the Province of Sondrio, Lombardy region of the Alps in northern Italy. The centre of the upper Valtellina valley, it is a popular winter sports resort. Our hotel, Girasole (which means sunflower), is at 2000m altitude.

You will also find photos (and hopefully videos if the Wi-Fi allows!) of our progress on the slopes on the Emmaus X (formerly Twitter) page. #EmmausSkiTrip24
Pendle Dry Ski Slope
First time on a slope for many of our skiers. After a couple of hours we already have mastered putting on our boots and skis, slowing and turning. We can't wait to hit the slopes in Bormio, Italy in 2024!
