The eagle eyed of you may have noticed that dry slope training does not restart till November 9th after the October break. This is because the Lothian Ski Racing Assosciation Bairns and Lassies Race takes place at Hillend on Sunday 2nd November. The event is open to all Bairns (both male and female) 2003 + and Boys and Girls (despite what the name suggests!) U14 and U16 ( 1999-2002)
We would love to have a strong Gordon Skiers presence at this race so why not come along and join us. We will have coach support at the race. We are especially looking for a strong turnout from our Performance Squad!
Unfortunately the U14 / U16 age category does start at the rather uncivilized hour of 7AM so you may want to book accommodation and travel down on the Saturday afternoon! A number of us have already booked in to the Edinburgh Park Novotel.
In the past we have taken the skiers along to the slope for about 4pm on the Saturday to give them some time to familiarize themselves with the Hillend slope which is very different to either Alford or Garthdee. We hope to run a training session on Saturday evening for all those that are able to make it down.
Hillend is a tough and challenging slope so if you are unsure if your child (most likely Bairns) is capable then please ask a coach to advise. If you are entering the event then please let James, the club race convenor, know at racing@gordonskiers.com so that we can arrange adequate coach cover. If you have any questions then please also feel free to ask James.
