Syd's 'Gone Skiing' Report

Sub-Mission continued the Dive Club activities for May with Syd’s 'Gone Skiing', last night at Kidsgrove Ski centre. A group of dive club members turned up to participate in the skiing lesson as well as several seasoned skiers and spectators. Those of us who were having the lessons began with basic movement in skis and soon took to the slopes for some fun falling over.

We progressed to snow ploughs and more falling over followed by increased height up the slope and more falling over. It was brilliant to watch some of the staff consistently landing on their backsides as they were now in the position of ‘learner’ rather than instructor.

We had an hour and a half’s lesson; in which time we all progressed onto the ski lift (some more gracefully than others). Darren managed a spectacular tumble, which Eddie the Eagle would have been proud of, leaving him sprawled across the cones.

It was a great night out, a fantastic activity and we were laughing all the way through. Thanks Syd for a brilliant ‘Gone Diving’ activity. Check out all of the photo's on flickr
