Well, we've had 2 weeks of skiing now, with 1 to go. Skiing is a great programme item, in my opinion, for a number of reasons:
- It is fun, for kids and adults.
- It involves exercise (which I could certainly do with more of!).
- Many people learn a new skill in doing it, achieving (mostly) a badge in the process.
- It is great value for money - roughly half the price you'd normally pay.
- It is quite straightforward to organise.
We last ran the skiing programme back in 2003, which seems about right. This way, everyone has an opportunity. I'll stick some pics on the website but I thought I should put one or two here. And everyone is interested in the spills, so here is me having a big crash! Thanks to Carey for capturing the moment...
And just to prove I wasn't the only one, here's another minor moment. No, he wasn't just landing after doing the ski jump...
