News:

February trip: We would welcome parent's feedback on the February trip - see bottom of this page.

Ski helmets: The cost of this year's trips includes the hire of a helmet. We will organise the hire of the helmets (you do not need to do anything) but if you have your own helmet a £10 discount is available on the final deposit.
It is likley that ski helmets will be made compulsory this season for all children under the age of 14 skiing in at least parts of Austria. Even if this does not happen, we have been advised that not doing so may cause extra problems if an insurance claim has to be made.

Collective passport: We include all participants, who are eligible, on a collective passport to avoid any problems with individual passports (eg. expired, lost or stolen). To be eligible the student needs to have a parent with a passport or have their own passport.
