Pendle ski racing

Pendle Club National (CN) took place on Saturday with Ellie Jackson and Will Evans taking part.  Pendle is a beautiful rural setting with unusual green matting to blend in with the surroundings.  Known for its variable weather conditions, due to its location, we were blessed with mainly sun on Saturday, with increasing wind speeds in the afternoon…..Only one gazebo was seen to be airborne on this occasion.... with a number of parents attached to each side, trying to secure safely back to the ground!!!!!

Well done to Will, taking part in his first outdoor CN, completing some great runs in the highly competitive U18 males.  Congratulations to Ellie, who was first U14 girl.

Having been selected for the CESA regional teams last month, Sunday saw Will, Ellie and Josh Law taking part in the Inter Regional Championships.  A first for all three skiers, it was great to see everyone having so much fun in the team events, with exceptional volumes of cheering for team mates and friends.  Kind regards Helen

 

 

Weekend of races at Gloucester

Gloucester ski slope hosted the second and third outdoor GBR events on Saturday, followed by Midland Club National on Sunday.  Supported from the sidelines by Christian, Telford members taking part were:-

Lewis Parton
Charlie Deem
Elinor Drummond
Ellie Jackson
Ed Guy
Isabel Drummond

Saturday’s courses were as expected, extremely challenging.  All our skiers produced some excellent runs, in highly competitive age groups, battling with persistent rain showers throughout the day.  Lewis improved his second run time on Saturday by an amazing margin, moving into 4^th place.  The U12 male races were so closely contested, that Charlie narrowly missed out on a podium on both days. Unfortunately GBR 3, was abandoned, so no results are available.  Podiums for Ellie  – 3^rd Saturday and 2^nd Sunday.  Full results can be found at www.britski.org
 

Thanks to Sue for action shots from Saturday. Helen

Well done to all our skiers. Helen
