BIGP 2014

The first two races of the British Indoor Grand Prix series took place 10 and 11 May at Castleford Snow zone.

Our monthly Castleford training sessions provided Telford skiers with slope familiarisation, with all racers performing well, in what was possibly the biggest meet of 2014, to date.

Well done to our rising star, Iona Brickley who achieved a podium position on Sunday, skiing into silver position. 

The next two races are 19 and 20 July.  Full details of these events, together with results of all races are on the Britski website.  If you would like any further information about the race series or where to stay, please speak to one of your committee members.  It would be great to see you all there.

Champery Slalom Event & Valais Club Team Event

The summer artificial race calendar got off to a flying start at Gloucester on Saturday 19.4.14.  A huge congratulations to Andrew Webb, who was taking part in his first race at this level.  Andrew skied extremely well in the very strong U12 male age category.  Harvey Campbell skied two solid runs, and achieved 7th overall in the same age group.  Charlie Deem who is also new to racing at this level, skied into 3rd place in the U10 male category.  Ellie Jackson put in two very solid runs for her first race on full poles and achieved 2nd position in the strongly contested U14 female age group.  The afternoon consisted of team dual slalom events.  Telford’s team was by far the youngest but Charlie, Harvey, Andrew and Ellie all put in solid and competitive performances for each run.  Well done to all Telford skiers who took part – it was great to see you all working as a team and helping each other out – you made me very proud.
