Mixed weather created some interesting skiing conditions - heavy rain, windy and some sunny spells ..  some racers ending up rather wet after close encounters with puddles on the slope!

Indoor GBR races at Manchester

Two GBR events took place at Manchester indoor slope, this weekend.  Charlie Deem and Ellie Jackson represented Telford on Saturday.  Charlie skied well in a very strong and competitive U12 male age group.  Ellie had a superb first run, achieving 2nd place but unfortunately, on the second run, left one of her skis in the start gate, so lost all her advantage.  Iona Brickley joined Ellie and Charlie on Sunday, and all three juniors produced two solid and fast runs.  Safe in the knowledge that her bindings had now been ramped up, Ellie produced probably her best skiing on indoor snow to date, and secured second place in the highly contested U14 female category. Full results will be available shortly on the Britski website at www.britski.org   We would love to see more of our skiers taking part in the many different race opportunities, so please speak to one of your committee members to find out more about what's available.  Kind regards Helen

 

May Bank Holiday weekend racing at Gloucester

A trio of races took place over the weekend.  These are extremely well attended and highly competitive events with skiers travelling from all over the UK to test their skills against each other… 160 racers on Sunday alone.  Gloucester always provides a number of challenges due to the length and undulating nature of the slope.  This weekend was no different and provided plenty of DSQs and DNFs on some extremely interesting and exciting courses. 

 

Likewise, Telford parents encountered a new challenge, namely the new gazebo.  Opening up the lovely new package, in gales and rain on Sunday … we were pleased to see the instructions advised “easy to set up, with only two adults”!!!!!  So 40 minutes later, 5 adults and 3 children, eventually succeeded in securing a gazebo to shelter from the elements … needless to say, the sun then came out and it stopped raining!!!!

The following skiers represented Telford Ski Club on some, or all days.  All our skiers raced fast and focussed, many achieving 4^th positions with only milliseconds depriving them of a well deserved podium:-

U10s:  Lewis Parton (4^th Gloucester CN) and Iona Brickley (4^th GBR)

U12s: Charlie Deem (6^th SSW Champery Slalom; 5^th Gloucester CN: 6^th GBR)
U14s:  Ellie Jackson (4^th Gloucester CN: 3^rd GBR)

Full results can be found at http://www.britski.org/

The summer race calendar is now well underway.  It really would be great to see more of our skiers at these events.  If you would like further information about registering with SnowSport England, or about the many different race opportunities, please speak to one of your committee members. 

Kind regards
