GB Children's Ski Race Team. Glacier Race Training Camp 2009.

July 26th 2009
Here we are at 4.45am just about to check our luggage in. We're off to Switzerland with the GB Children's ski race team on the summer training camp.We're really looking forward to getting out on the snow and working with the squad. We want to thank Mum & Dad, Grandma, Nagyi & Tata and all our friends who have sent us messages of support!
We've packed our ORBANA healthy energy drinks to keep us going and we'd just like to say a huge THANKS also to all at Bartletts, particularly Terry! Your help and assistance with our ski gear purchases is very much appreciated.
:) :)

Ready to check in then off to the Snow!

British Indoor Grand Prix Series.

This weekend we were competing at the Hemel Snow Centre in Races 5 & 6 of the British Indoor grand prix series. We had early morning starts on both days as the Race office opened at 7am. This Ski Race series is organised by Graham & Cathy Beck from the Lions Ski Club.
This weekend was the first opportunity since the Centre opened in May for us to actually be allowed to compete on our home slope as a recent race held at Hemel disallowed us to take part saying that our seedpoints were too low so we were really excited and intrigued what it was going to be like to compete in a race on the slope where we train. It was GREAT!!!

British indoor grand prix series (Hemel) Robert had a great double whammy of a weekend with 1st place in the CH1 age category on both days.


Daniel skied to 3rd Place in CH2 in Race 5.
