We are already up and at ’em filling up on a big breakfast before our first day hitting the slopes.

Everyone slept well and we had no problems in the night. We are looking forward to getting out there!

We’ve arrived at our hotel, ‘La Vallée Blanche’ and settled into our rooms. Our journey here went smoothly. We’re having a snack now and a little time to rest before getting fitted for our ski gear this evening.

We’ve landed en France! We’ll be making our way through the airport shortly before our coach journey to Alpe d’Huez. We’re all very excited (despite the lack of sleep!!) 🚌

We’re all through security and just getting ready to board.

We’ll update you as soon as we land. Bon voyage! ✈️

We’ve arrived at the airport safely. Now to make it through security!

Today MTPS and MTJBS staff took to the slopes at Chill Factore in Manchester to hone their skills ahead of Saturday’s departure. There were a few tumbles along the way (as expected!), however the staff are now all ready and raring to go this weekend – they just hope they can keep up with the kids!
