Testing. Testing......

Testing, testing… I’m writing about the blog we will be writing, not describing how I think the next week is going to be!

Welcome to the Ridgewood 2025 Ski Blog. Unlike other social media platforms, this is where you will get a more developed, detailed account of some of the most memorable moments of our week on the slopes of northern Italy. Here, you can read about the highs, lows, extreme lows and downright embarrassing incidents, which really should be left in Italy. But as we are a sharing, caring school, we think it’s only fair that you get a ‘warts and all’ account of our experiences.

Thinking about that has made me reminisce to 2023 and our week of skiing in Davos, Switzerland, and some of the memories we shared then. This should give you an idea of what to expect from this blog:

• Mrs Jones frankly fantastical floundering on the icy car park in an attempt to save her ASDA bag for life, and I mean life, full of medication and remedies.

• Mr Duff’s catastrophic descent of the nursery slope, involving the collateral damage of two women being taken out and clattered into the protective tunnel over the travelator.

• Miss Halford prodding (quite violently, actually) Mr Duff with her ski poles to inject some life into the aged English teacher who had face planted the snow for the twentieth time that day.

That’s all for now. I need to go and finish packing!
