First Steinmühlen Ski Course on Tour!

After some students had their first skiing experiences in Winterberg at the start of the semester, 14 students traveled to the high-alpine ski resort of Heiligenblut am Großglockner. The group enjoyed three wonderful days on the slopes, with plenty of snow, fun, and evening activities.

Ski trip for beginners and pros: an inclusive program for all participants

The trip to Austria offered skiers of all skill levels the perfect opportunity to let loose on the slopes one last time at the end of the winter season.

The experienced skiers in Jan Siegwolf’s group had a blast on the slopes over the weekend in perfect weather conditions, while beginners like Niclas and Donnie—after their first attempts at skiing in Winterberg—were now able to gain more skiing experience.

“It’s so much fun!”

Luzy, a student, is thrilled to be the only girl shaking things up in an otherwise young, all-male travel group, accompanied by instructor Francine Olschewski. “The weather is perfect and the group is so funny—I’d love to stay even longer!”The beginner skiers were guided and supported by Patric Hahn. By the end of the weekend, all the beginners were not only skiing down the slope safely but also with great joy. “I’m so excited!” student Niclas reports proudly. “I’ve only been on skis for four days, and it feels so good! I never would have thought I’d learn this fast!”

“What are we playing tonight?”

The young travel group got along well, both on the slopes and in the evening in the youth hostel’s common room. During the day, the students glided smoothly down the slopes; in the evenings, after a shower and a hearty meal, the group bonded over lively get-togethers. Whether young or old, everyone played together until bedtime. “I had a great time this weekend! It was my first ski trip. It was a really wonderful experience to go away with the people from the boarding school and do so many things,” says Theo, a student who joined the boarding school community just this school year.

A Successful Start: More Ski Courses for the Upcoming Season at the Boarding School Are Already Being Planned

The weather forecast had originally been rather poor. But after a foggy, snowy Friday, the skiers were able to enjoy the weekend on Saturday and Sunday with sunshine and perfectly groomed slopes. “I’m really glad this trip went so well!” says ski instructor Patric Hahn optimistically. “This weekend has shown that the Steinmühle students have great potential as skiers. So we’ll definitely try to expand the ski program for the Steinmühle students even further for next season!” “We’ll definitely be back!”

The two teachers heard this exclamation more than once that weekend. And so planning for the upcoming winter season is already underway. A pre-season training camp? A ski pass for more than three days? Which ski resort will we be heading to? These and other exciting questions now need to be answered so that, once again, the motto at Steinmühle Boarding School for the new school year will be “Ski heil!”
