British Schoolgirls' Indoor Races 2022

LSC held the British Schoolgirls’ Indoor Races at the Milton Keynes Snozone on Sunday 11 September. There was some great racing with 15 schools taking part. New Hall school won the slalom and South Hampstead High School won the parallel slalom; the overall individual winner was Holly Tutt from Bedford Girls’ School. Full results can be found here. Many thanks to the team at the Snozone and Ski MK Race Team who ensured we had a fantastic event.

British Alpine athletes need financial support

On 4 August 2022 GB Snowsport announced that the British Alpine athletes will have their World Class Programme funding withdrawn by UK Sport. This is a huge blow to the athletes, coaches and technical staff who have shown enormous dedication in their efforts to grow Britain’s standing in Alpine Skiing, particularly after the squad delivered their best ever results last season. GB Snowsport’s announcement can be seen here.

A number of the British World Cup Squad members, including Charlie Guest one of our LSC athletes, have launched a Crowdfunder together with a campaign video; please follow this link if you are able to help in any way.

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!

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
