What’s skiing without some Apres! Dumbarton Academy

Piste conditions near perfect, and some of us did a quick run into France before lunch! 🇫🇷 Then back down to Italy for lunch Amazing progress from all our young people, learning a new skill and showing resilience, grit, determination and big big smiles!!

Some fresh snow, sleet and mixed weather today, which meant legs working harder and gloves getting wet but they did brilliantly, and all made more progress. Pizza night out tonight, quiz night part 2, and we can’t believe only 2 more days skiing left! Dumbarton Academy

Sad to be coming to the end of our week. Kids had a great time- they have learned new skills, determination, independence and self confidence; it has been a privilege to bring them to Italy. Some of the most helpful, polite and respectful young people about⁦Dumbarton Academy⁩
