Ski Course
Lessons sometimes get quite tiring. Hard work and long hours of studying are nobody's go-to. Luckily, our school offers plenty of relaxing activities, of which I enjoyed the ski training course the most.
This week-long activity mainly teaches students to ski or develops the skills they already have. Under the watchful eye of our experienced PE teachers, everyone gets a grasp of it. Naturally, students' skills are not on the same level. That's why we get divided into 4 groups ranging from complete beginners to seasoned skiers. Don't worry, you always have the option of switching to another group if you feel like it. However, safety should always come first. Falling into fresh powder snow is fun, but it can also be dangerous. Fear not, a doctor is with us on the slopes, ready for action.
Also, the course helps freshmen get to know each other better. It is not only about skiing, but also friendship. Personally, I enjoyed the evenings spent playing board games or just chatting. Mountains seem like the perfect place to get to know your mates outside the school walls. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of Ski resort Jasná in Low Tatras, everyone seemed to be somewhat kinder. Sharing rooms, dining, and skiing with friends were an inseparable part of the great experience.
Finally, I can only recommend attending. Everybody enjoyed this course, making it hard to find any reservations. The only thing that we all grew tired of was the cold. :)
