Last night saw 45 racers brave the first real cold of the season over at Norfolk Snowsports Centre for the Ski and Boarder X.

There is always something special about night time races and this was no exception. 

The first part of the evening was three individual timed runs through the course and the second half everyone was split into teams for the head to head races. This resulted in some exciting racing and action.

The British Children's Ski Team ( www.gb.juniorski.com ) are desperately aiming to raise additional funds of at least £3000.00 by the end of December 2010 in order to support the British Children's ski team at FIS International Children's ski racing events during the 2011 winter season. A raffle is being organised by the BCST and if anyone would like to donate a prize, your help would be much appreciated.

Please contact the British Children's Ski Team.

Ski cross (or skier cross) made it's debut in the Winter Olympics this year in Vancouver and many deemed it the most exciting sport in the Olympics, bringing with it a lot of interest and enthusiasm. The big names in British ski cross include Sarah Sauvey (who competed in the Winter 0lympics), Emily Sarsfield (who missed out at being selected for the Olympics due to injury but became the first British to win an Europa cup ski cross this year), Ed Cozzi, Max Hardy, Peter Whelan and Craig Robinson.
