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On 4 August 2022 GB Snowsport announced that the British Alpine athletes will have their World Class Programme funding withdrawn by UK Sport.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.
