Ski Jewel

So after years and years (and years) of talking, they're finally linking Alpbach with the other side of the Schatzberg Mountain. It'll be rebranded as Ski Jewel Alpbachtal Wildschönau and offer 145 km of runs with 47 lifts. The lift will take the direction as shown below and there' a couple of snaps of the first plyon hole being sunk next to the Wiedersbergerhornbahn lift in Inneralpbach. Looking forward to it already!

Hitting The North

Saturday afternoon heralded a new era for the club as we headed north and kicked off our monthly indoor sessions at Xscape Castleford. Given the really short notice on this one only five of the group made it onto the white stuff but it's fair to say they had a great time and made some stunning improvements in their skiing. 

After some intense Alan Ashfield instruction Issy, Ellie, Charley, Ellie and Harvey were unrecognisable from the kids who had entered the building four hours earlier. As ever the concentrated block of instruction allowed the kids to experiment and find the changes Alan was looking for and whilst they looked absolutely shattered at the end, the improvement they'd all found made their work and the trip very worthwhile.

Thanks the Lee at SZR for allowing us to join in and also to the guys at Castleford. Their attitude to racers and clubs is spot on, they were most welcoming and very helpful. It's a pity all indoor facilities don't have the same ethos to clubs, racers and the sport. I think we can do some good things between us in the future. 

The July session is scheduled for Sat 21st July with the August date confirmed as Sat Aug 25th. I suspect that these sessions are going to prove popular.
