So the rest of Europe is struggling for snow with resorts under rain clouds. This is not the case in Italy, certainly not in Livigno, which is where the whole team spent the day skiing.

With 3 very busy weeks ahead of us we took the opportunity to have a free ski day and just enjoy ourselves. This involved hitting the park, the piste and the off piste. The highlight of the day being the huge airbag jump in the park. The children girls put in a good effort with Lucy hiking back up time again to have ‘one more go’. As a sideline there was the one-piece competition (who could get the most photos taken with random skiers in one-piece ski suits). The competition was won by the team of Ellie Pocock and Emily Evans with almost 30, taking the win by a narrow margin ahead of Emily Pocock, Imi Taylor and Violet Miller.

What an excellent start to this training block. Keep up the good work guys!
