Racers in Flaine |
The Ladies' Ski Club, founded in Murren in 1923 by the leading lady
racers of the day with the encouragement of Sir Arnold Lunn, is the
oldest alpine ladies' ski club in the world. Most of the British female
skiers are or have been members and the Club organizes the British
Schoolgirls' Races, a popular annual event which takes place in the Alps
at the end of January.
The 2008 races were held in Flaine (FRA) on 28th-29th January,
marking the 50th Anniversary of the British Schoolgirls' Races.
Competitors aged from 12 to 20 years old compete in the disciplines of;
slalom, giant slalom and parallel slalom. From their humble beginnings
in 1958 in Gstaad (SUI) with a few debutantes at finishing school in
Switzerland, the races in Flaine were oversubscribed with schools and
more than 150 participants from all over Britain
participating.Undoubtedly the highlight of the 50th anniversay week in
Flaine was the attendance by the competition's founder, Liz Fulton, who
spoke about the early days of cutting slalom poles from a forest in
rural England and colouring bedsheets to use for gate flags. More
