Snowboard Trip Spring School: an experience that goes far beyond the classroom.

On February 1st, Spring School experienced another one of those moments that practically demonstrate what it means to learn from real-life experiences.

Our Snowboard Trip began in the early morning hours. For some students, it was just another different outing, but for others… it would be their first time in the snow! And that, in itself, made the day even more special.

🌨️ The first encounter with snow

Upon arriving at the resort, even before any descent, something beautiful was happening: students observing, curious, attentive, absorbing everything.

While we were setting up the equipment, I explained every detail and answered questions. You could see in their eyes that mixture of anxiety, excitement, and surprise. For some, it was their first contact not only with snowboarding but with real snow—touching, feeling, observing. We then headed to the resort's base area—the rest and preparation area just below the mountain—where the learning officially began.

🏂 Learn before you descend

That's where everything started to make sense.

We learned how to:

• Secure the board correctly.

• adjust the binding

• stand upright with balance

• stop safely
  • And, most importantly, how to behave in the mountains, respecting your own pace and the space of others.

Between minor falls, laughter, and attempts, the group gained confidence; each stumble became a learning experience, each laugh, motivation to try again.
After that, the most anticipated moment arrived: the lift.
Climbing the mountain was, in itself, an incredible experience — snow-covered landscapes, silence, white trees, and that feeling of experiencing something out of the ordinary.
Some students went down only once. Others, a little more. But the most important thing is that everyone had fun. Each at their own pace, within their own limits, safely and with support.

☃️ Snow, fun and memories

Besides snowboarding, the day was filled with simple and unforgettable moments:
• snowball fight
• snowman
•⁠ ⁠spontaneous photos
• Laughter that arose effortlessly
Moments that can't be learned from books, but that teach about courage, coexistence, trial and error, and overcoming challenges.

🚌 A return worthy of the day

On the way back, we opted for a scenic route, crossing mountains, more rural roads, and landscapes that seemed straight out of a movie; snow-covered trees, tranquil villages, and that feeling of "I want to keep this in my memory."

🍩 This is Spring School

The Snowboard Trip is not an isolated event; it is just one of the many experiences that Spring School provides for its students every year.
Here, learning goes beyond the classroom. It happens through travel, challenges, real-life experiences, and moments that leave a lasting mark on everyone!
Those who have lived through it understand.
Those who haven't experienced it yet... are missing out on something special.
And we continue doing what we believe in: educating, connecting, and creating memories that will stay with our students for a lifetime.

Spring School.
More than just classes. Experiences. 🍩❄️
