Ski Tour 2014

On Friday 3rd January 38 pupils and 7 staff travelled to Saalbach in Austria by executive coach and ferry.

The pupils from Year 10 and 11 experienced 6 days of challenging skiing in the extensive skiing complex known as Saalbach Hinterglemm. After an extraordinary first day skiing in rain the groups progressed to be able to journey around most of the resort in their ability groups. Despite being the first week of January we were experiencing spring like conditions and warm weather. By the end of the week the advanced group were skiing black runs and the beginners were snaking down blue runs at great speed.

The group were complimented on their behaviour and positive attitude by the Hotel owners, the ski school and the coach company. The staff were proud to be able to offer a great experience for our group and are already looking forward to the next trip.

Latest Ski Information.

Edited by Peter Brown

We are once again nearing the departure for our school’s 17^th skiing holiday. As party leader for all of these trips I am extremely proud to have introduced over 650 young people to the exciting sport of skiing. It has seen us travel to Italy, France and Austria, by plane and coach. The first trip being in Easter 1983, when our present skiers were not alive. We are now travelling to Austria with children of those early intrepid skiers!

As you are all aware, Saalbach has a wide range of slopes that are suitable for beginners and even challenge the more advanced skiiers.

Final details will be given to all pupils involved with the trip and copies of the documents are attached below.

Pupils are now ready for the 2014 Ski Tour!

Pupils from Tenbury High School are only weeks away from their 2014 Ski Tour to Austria.

Between Friday 3rd January and Saturday 11th January 2014, 38 pupils in years 10 & 11 will be in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria for the Tenbury High School Ski Tour.

The well known skiing area of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, situated in the Glemm Valley, offers a great ski circuit with 200km of piste covering both sides of the valley, combined with a good snow record.

In preparation for the tour, we have provided pupils the chance of visiting the dry ski slope in Telford on two occasions (Monday 11th & 18th November). Beginners have used this opportunity to gain the confidence and develop the basic technique required for the snow and the more confident pupils who've before have refreshed their skills.

The practice sessions have been a huge success with pupils having a great time on both occasions. As the excitement increases they are now ready and waiting to hit the slopes in Austria.

Below is a selection of pictures from the practice sessions.

Pictures from the tour will be added to our blog early next year so make sure you check.
