Did you know that Teesdale School has joined the English School Ski Association, which provides opportunities across the north east for our students to become involved in ski racing. Through this, six of our students recently took part in some ski race training at Silksworth dry slope with the bitterly cold weather doing nothing to freeze their enthusiasm.
Under the watchful eye of top race coaches and members of the English School Ski Association, students did fitness work before hitting the slope for some slalom training. Student, Charlotte Single, said: "It was so different to normal skiing, but once I got the idea of how to race I really enjoyed the day."
As part of our membership of the association, students may get the opportunity to travel abroad to race if they are good enough! The next training event is in March and competent skiers wishing to be involved need to contact Mrs Brennan for further information.
