Ski Trip Courmayeur 2015


Last week NULC Sixth Form students took to the slopes in Courmayeur, Italy, it was a week that gave the students opportunities to try a new activity and gain new experiences.

Becky Maxfield, a BTEC Sport student said: "The skiing trip to Italy was the best start to 2015 I've ever had - I've met people who I never would have met from just being in college and I've got along with them all really well, making friendships that made the trip worth it even more."

Students were given the opportunity before the trip to participate in extra skiing lessons, visiting the Chill Factor in Manchester to prepare themselves for the slopes of Italy.

Andy Pankiw, BTEC Construction student said: "I really enjoyed the college ski trip to Courmayeur because I’d never done anything like that before, I would like to go again, the staff on the trip were really nice, relaxed as well as controlled in marinating good behaviour. Overall brilliant!"

Joe Brisbourne, a BTEC Sport student said: "
I've never been skiing before but after the free lessons that the college put on and the trips to the chill factor Manchester, I have been able to develop a passion for skiing. Without this trip I wouldn't have got the opportunity to experience the life of skiing. If this opportunity arose again I'm sure I and many new beginners would grab it with two hands and go on the trip!"
 

 
This was the first year of the ski trip running and all students were great ambassadors for the college.

A Level Student Bethany Onions added: "Courmayeur 2015 was an amazing trip, everyone had a really good week and made some great memories. The trip was well organised and the après ski was great. Everyone made friends really easily which made the week so enjoyable."

The trip organised by lecturers David Sutton & Jenny Winch, proved to be a huge success and thoroughly enjoyed by all the students that accompanied them.
