Yesterday the group started exhibiting their capabilities of exasperating irritation earlier than normal and today they took it to the next level. Before the first slope, before the first lift, before even getting to the resort I was already pulling my hair out. Each morning we have to get a bus up to town to … More Danger Of The Top Bunk- Group 6- Jerry #5
Usually the clientele for the ski camp I have spent my season working for are teenagers. Loud, moody, mostly annoying adolescents who venture out from whichever corner of the world for a week in the Swiss alps. However, this week, a school from down the valley have brought with them a mini assembly of younger … More Homesickness Epidemic
Spring has finally sprung and sadly ended the shockingly surprising sunny weather and replaced it with severe storms. After an extraordinarily warm and bright February the premature summer season has reverted back to the snowy and windy season accustomed to winter and hopefully the change will bring some snow with it. It’s been a long … More It Has Got Stormy- Group 8 Day #1
It’s been an extremely warm few weeks out in the Alps and as nice as it was skiing around in a tee-shirt before working on the the goggle tan at apres, it is concerning how hot is has been. February is usually the coldest month with the lowest temperatures bringing in lots of snow but … More Rocky situation- Group 7 day 3
Some footage of the beautiful Swiss mountains and what it’s like to ski on them

After a slow morning spent waiting in queues to get up the only part of the mountain that was open, my group and I finally made it to the snowy … More I’m getting sued- Group 7 Day 2
Everyone takes their own amount of time to get used to being back on skis. Some people find their ski legs as soon as they hit the snow, whilst others can take a couple of runs or even a few days to rediscover them. I, for example, have been out in Switzerland since December and … More When high fives go badly- Group 7- Day 1
A Belated Post 14/2/2019 We took a hot chocolate break this morning and what normally happens is the kids get a hot drink and maybe a chocolate bar and rest up, whilst I stingily sit there with my water bottle and sandwich refusing to spend any of what little money I have left. Today, however, … More Hide and seek on skis- A bad idea
This week my group haven’t had many good falls. Normally, a few kids will have a spectacular wipeout with skis, poles and sometimes goggles flying around but this week I haven’t been so lucky to have such entertainment. I have pushed them hard all week and other than the first day they’ve managed to get … More Group 6- Jerry of the day #4
