Second, virtually every child attended the trip. Challenge by choice activities can be very stressful for reluctant learners and avoidance behavior is a common response to these stressors. This means that we were largely successful in our ability to build relationships and make everyone feel included.
Third, every child made it at least to mid station on Morse Mountain and 2/3 of the group skied the lift line at both Morse and at Sterling (both black diamond trails). This means that the students were gaining confidence in their skills and exposure to the mountains, which was one of our goals.
This is a video from a group of students leaving the Highlands Lift on day 1.
This is a group shot of students at the top of the Sterling lift.
This group picture was taken from the judges platform on the 120 m jump at Lake Placid.
We rode chair lifts to reach the ski jumps. Unfortunately, no one was jumping today. However, we were invited (free tickets) back to attend the Freestyle World Cup next year.
