Ski Trips

We are extremely happy with our daughters' education at BCS where they are truly valued and benefit from a very broad and balanced curriculum.

Mr G Bishop - Head of Skiing Mr G Bishop - Head of Skiing Each year the school organises two hugely popular ski trips for its students, with the school's ski operators. Our sixth form students ski in the famous Tyrolean resort of Kitzbuhel, Austria, and the juniors and preppies ski in the fabulously chic French resort of Courcheval.

I am in charge of the trips. I am a BASI qualified Alpine instructor and level 2 Development Coach, and I have a second discipline of Telemark skiing. I have organised ski trips for over 20 years, and I hold the ISIA Mountain Safety (Off Piste) module. Assisting me is Mr Nicholson, who is a fully qualified Alpine Ski Leader. Between us, we have taken well over a thousand skiers and happy smiling faces to the Alps.
