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
This group has slowly broken me in to how stupid they can be each day. Most of the ding-a-ling moments have come from blunders late in the morning or after lunch and have gradually increased in brainlessness throughout the day up to a pinnacle moronic exhibition. Today the demonstrations began even before the first run … More Group 6- Jerry of the day #3
Despite a slow start and then absolute anarchy on the slopes whilst tampering and rearranging the groups, it was a surprisingly good day up on the mountain. Once my group had gained and lost a few members we were able to enjoy the rest of what was a stunning day on the snow and they … More Group 6- Jerry of the day #2
Last weeks wonderful group from Bahrain have left after one my favourite times out in Switzerland and the fun loving and enthusiastic kids have been replaced by a new, interesting combination of teens. As three international schools have travelled out from England for a week they have also combined ski groups and so a strange … More Group 6- Jerry of the day #1
Halfway through the morning I was waiting for my group to catch up, wondering if there’d be any dingaling moments and if none occurred, what I could do to try and inspire some later on. And then it hit me. No ideas, just a girl shaped missile who misjudged her stop, lost her balance and … More Group 5- Jerry of the day #4

Today we have upgraded from falling off button lifts to falling off T bars. After a couple of days of successfully staying on the simpler lift and cruising around easier runs we escaped from the beginner area and out further across the mountain. Once again the snowy descent went really well as the small group … More Group 5- Jerry of the day #3- T Bar
Today my group were absolute heroes. And I genuinely mean heroes. They spent all morning skiing around imitating superman and pretending to save the world and it was one of the most amazing and fun lessons I’ve taken. We all must have looked utterly bonkers to any on lookers but equally entertaining as four small … More Group #5- Hero of the day 2
Button lifts have been a common occurrence in my Jerry of the day posts and today a new tangent of that enthralling theme has sprung to light. Previously we’ve had shenanigans at the start and disasters at the end, but today it was the latter middle section that bears the funny fruit. You’d think that … More Group 5- Jerry of the day #1
After an amazing week off, the time has come to get back to work. After a week relaxing in the mountains and having a few incredible days with Georgie the peaceful serenity has been interrupted by a new exciting and interesting group of skiers. This week I am really excited to be teaching and looking … More Group 5- Back to work!
