Ski Trip 2025
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 and videos.
Many thanks to Mr Tony McKee and the Liverpool Primary Ski Association.
We have boarded the plane and ready to go ... we can’t wait to see you all!

Just look at our progress... we've mastered the snake formation!
Attempting to ski in a snake formation is harder than it first appears...but we're having fun trying! ⛷️
Skiing independently without our instructor directly leading us. Our ability and confidence is growing!

Heading uphill on the magic carpet under blue bird skies 🌞
Wednesday’s skiers of the day! All children have experienced the chairlift today and travelled further up the mountain. Our 2 skiers of the day faced multiple challenges, they did not give up and smiled throughout!
Tonight we put our skis away and did some apres ski ... Mrs Yates’ Karaoke! Superstar singers! We also spent some of our pocket money in the tuck shop - it was great fun! And a dance to finish off the night - we are tired now so off to bed to get some rest ready for tomorrow!
Congratulations to our skiers of the day! A wonderful show of sheer determination and perseverance at all levels!
Wow we have had a very busy day today - lots of progress made by all children! We are very proud of all the children for their efforts, perseverance and determination!

Checked in, all through security, been to the shop, had lunch and waiting patiently for our flight - we are very excited!
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. #skibormio2025

Skiing training in Pendle ⛷️
We had a practice at Pendle Dry Ski Slope this week. In just a few hours they mastered putting on their boots and skis, side-stepping up the slope and skiing down safely. It was great to see them gain control over their speed and some basic turns too. They even managed to perform head, shoulders, knees & toes as they skied! Bormio....here they come!
Smiles all round!
Look at us ski!
