We are currently enjoying Wintersport woche. This is when the entire school goes to the Swiss Alps for a week of skiing, snowboarding, swimming, hiking, and sledding. This picture is of my advanced intermediate ski group that I have been in charge of for the week. As you can see, the weather has been beautiful. It's sure a nice change from the dreary, snowy, rainy, cloudy weather we've been experiencing since early December.
Each of the three grade levels at the school goes to a different ski resort in eastern Switzerland. The grade level that I am with is at Flumserberg. There are 80 people in our group including students and adults. While we have adults here that prepare all the meals, the students are required to help with kitchen and dining room duties as well.
Our Christmas break was about one week shorter than what I am used to, but the wintersportwoche came just two weeks after that, marking the end of the first semester. Will also have the following week off for winter holiday.
