Christmas Races and Lunch December 11th

Gordon Skiers Xmas Races 11th Dec 2016 - not including 20+ shy parents behind the camera

On behalf of the Gordon Skier’s committee, many thanks to everyone who took part in our Xmas races today at Alford and to those who attended the Xmas lunch at Alford Golf Club. One hundred and twelve people (a record, I think) sat down to an excellent lunch to celebrate the end of a very successful dry mat season. We had maximum numbers of racers signed up this season to dry mat training. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed now for some good snow.

Photos from the day as well as all our Sunday and Wednesday race league champions of the future are now posted on our Facebook page.

To add to the enjoyment, during lunch we watched Alex Tilley, a lifetime member of Gordon Skiers and British number one female Alpine skier, achieve a superb 22rd place in the World Cup slalom race at Sestriere, Italy. Alex began skiing on the dry mat at Alford with Gordon Skiers aged 8.

Watch Alexs run HERE

Have a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
