LSC Senior Ladies win gold at the AICC

Over 20 LSC members travelled to Wengen last week for the annual AICC championships hosted by the DHO. The races were held on the iconic Lauberhorn course at the foot of the North Face of the Eiger and the Jungfrau. LSC fielded four teams and our senior ladies A team won their category, a first for the “Ladies in Pink”! With no races in 2021 it was great to be back at the AICC and a fantastic time was had by all, both on and off the slopes!

Congratulations to Marguerite Nice, Sheridan Killwick, Gayle Parsons and Clare Byam-Cooke for their gold medal winning performance!

Well done Jaz from all of us at the LSC!

BSR 2022 - Cancelled

We regret that the 2022 races have been cancelled.

 With all the frequent rule changes, the testing requirements, and the logistical difficulties if a racer tested positive in the resort, the Ladies’ Ski Club Committee felt that this was the only responsible course of action.

 We look forward to seeing you all again in 2023

Dates for 2023

BSIR races 12 September 2021

LSC ran a very successful British Schoolgirls Indoor Race event at Milton Keynes Snozone on Sunday 12 Sept. Only the second time we have run this indoor event, it provides a good ‘dry run’ for girls hoping to participate in the British Schoolgirls Races in Flaine in January, allowing schools to see the girls in action and to make their team selections.
Despite a number of schools and racers having to drop out at the last minute because of Covid, we had 120 girls taking part from 14 schools.
We congratulate all participants, particularly those who had never previously raced, and we hope they enjoyed the experience enough to do more in the future.
