Day two in the sun, a lovely morning spent skiing followed by an impressive ice sculpture competition, won by the boys with their very impressive " snow Louis" sculpture. The girls took runners up spot with an ice tea pot. Tonight we are going bowling in Saalbach so the competition is on. Don't forget to check out The Spires College Twitter account for photos.

 

Day one over and all is well

After a beautiful ski day in the sun the group enjoyed a bum boarding session on the slopes followed by a glo stick Easter egg hunt where everybody got there chocolate treat. Tomorrow the groups who have all done brilliantly, head for the bigger slopes before strutting their stuff at Bobby's bar in a game of Austrian skittles. Winner of the hat today was Alex Ibell for managing to wallop another student with a chair!!!! Runner up was Katie Leszman for knocking the poor rep off his feet while skiing.
