Another trip over to the army barracks at Bassingbourne to use the dry ski slope. This year we had 23 Scouts on the beginers session on Monday evening and 15 Scouts ont he more advanced sessions on Tuesday.

Have a look to see how they got on.

It was an early start from Stotfold at 6:00pm so that we could get to the ski slope by 7:00pm. Getting the correct ski boots size and they the right skis took about half an hour, so we finally got onto the slope about 7:10pm.

After a warm up session, we put one ski on a move round in a circle.

Then it was both skis and a clamber up the slope.

... and finally everyone was off down the slope on two skis.

After an hour session everyone was able to ski down the slope forwards and backwards, jump up and down on the skis and "smile". Well done everyone.

After a short break for a drink and the return of the skis, it was time for the doughnuts ... and what unbelievable fun.
