Back in the gym with Ryan !


A good couple of days slalom training working on one technique and applying that into the gates.


Run 1 from the NSSA Indoor Champs at Snozone.
After three great (and consistent) runs on Sunday at the SMK Internal Race Series, I was hoping home advantage, the knowledge of snow conditions and slope profile, would help.
Racing with lots of SMK members and friends from other schools, it was great to be representing Akeley Wood School.
After a storming Run 1, I was placed 1st U16 and 3rd Overall Male (15:00 seconds), behind two very fast U18 racers. With the snow conditionings becoming very icy, and final race results based on fastest run time of the twi runs, Run 2 was an all or nothing charge to try to improve on his overall position.
With the race based on fastest run, it was all or nothing Run 2, however I finished with a faster time of 14.63 seconds.
I finished 1st U16 but jumped from 3rd to 2nd overall, beaten only by a very good Manchester based Under 18 skier.

Well done to other SMK Racers, Jacob B, Matthew D, Miles E, Ben C, Alex K, Sam D, Amelie D and toTeam Evolution team mates Charlotte W and Niamh T.


Looking forward to representing Akeley Wood School at the ISA Indoor Ski Championship in April next year.
Race 2 of the SMK Internal Race Series 2018-19 this morning. Earlier 07:30 start was a little shock, but we managed to get three runs for 50 SMK racers.
Finished 1st U16 with combined runtime of 29.20 seconds and fastest run overall ! Looking forward to Ace 3 on a Tuesday at the end of November.


I could not imagine having to live through conflict and my thoughts are with all those who have and are serving and their families.

I lead a very privileged life, with the ability to do what I love, ski racing, and so grateful for those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and choices.
