Day 1 | KSAB Have Landed

We are here in Shahdag after a lovely drive up the mountain from Baku International Airport. After getting settled into our rooms and having a hearty dinner, we are heading to bed to prepare for the next 4 days in the snow!

Day 2 | First Day on the Slopes

Day 2 marked the moment everyone had been waiting for – our first full day of skiing in Shahdag Mountain Resort.

The day began with breakfast at the hotel before heading down to get fully kitted out with ski equipment. For many students, this was their first time putting on ski boots and helmets – an experience in itself! Once ready, students met their instructors and were introduced to the basics before heading out onto the slopes.

With a mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers in the group, it was fantastic to see each student working at their own level and building confidence throughout the day. From first glides on the beginner slopes to controlled runs further up the mountain, there was clear progress across the board.

Interestingly, Shahdag greeted us with hot and sunny conditions – unusual for this time of year – but with plenty of snow still covering the slopes, it didn’t take away from what was an incredible first day of skiing.

Movie Night @ Shadag Resort

Following the day’s skiing, students returned to the hotel to freshen up before dinner – giving everyone a chance to relax and reflect on their first experience on the mountain.

To round off a brilliant day, the group headed to a local cinema where they had a VIP screen all to themselves to watch Zootopia 2. Popcorn in hand, it was the perfect way to unwind after an active day on the slopes.

A fantastic first day of skiing – with plenty of progress already made and even more to come.
