The programmes aim to:

– Increase life-skills

– Increase focus and sense of belonging

– Raise attainment, ambition, aspirations

– Improve communication and relationships

– Increase pathways into training or employment and familiarisation with the world of work

Skiworld will continue to work with Snow-Camp to turn young lives around. Over the next twelve months they will be following the progress of the young people benefitting from the First Tracks programme and on the two on full bursaries and reporting on this on the Skiworld’s website and social media.

You can start thinking about your trip, by reading the articles on the Planning your Ski Trip tab.  Or how to pack for your family ski trip.  If taking your furry friend abroad to the continent, read about the new Pet Travel Scheme update from DEFRA. Self-drive skiers also need to plan for Brexit. Check out our tips for driving to the mountains.  If flying and renting a car in Europe, beware of the extra charges they will pass to you if you want winter tyres, snow chains or ski racks. If driving, check the winter tyres news for Europe and North America. You can see how our last family ski holiday was not as expected, even though one plans it to be a success, but how we could do the most of it.
