January Training Ladder

Monday, January 11th, 2016

For the January training ladder we welcomed a couple of guests from Pontypool & Kendal Ski Clubs to join our regular racers for our monthly training ladder.

As a result of a sudden chill in the weather we arrived to find a white rather than green slope for our 39 racers to enjoy. Following a quick warm up it was a couple of runs against the clock to set times for the head to head draw. As ever the head to head courses saw some very close races and we managed to get through 54 races and be off the slope for 10am.

Full results have gone to all the individuals and summary details are on the links below.
