Adopt a Ski Racer

This is an appeal for TJ Baldwin and Eddie Drake, the British men’s senior champions for 2011 and 2010. The national team is struggling to meet any more than the cost of the coaching team, which leaves TJ and Eddie, the UK’s top male racers, to find their own travel and accommodation costs, even their lift passes. Both are now actively looking for ‘head’ sponsors – a personal sponsor on the racer’s crash helmet to be promoted on all publicity head shots – and can be contacted via the BSA office.

TJ and Eddie received the bulk of their children level snow training at the BSA. (Congrats to them and to Harriet Steggles, the 2011 women’s champion, who also trained with us extensively at U16 level.) Having taught TJ his tuck, and put Eddie in the gate in his first downhill (age 12 in Aspen!) and having seen them grow from boys to international contenders with exciting world ranking results, it is a real shame to see their difficulties keeping the show on the road. If anyone reading this knows of a company that might be interested in discussing numbers and brand exposure with Ed or TJ, please get in touch. Thank you.

August indoor training

End of Season, Winter 2011

Phew!  We beat the low snow levels with great training throughout the 2011 winter season and great results at the national ski championships. BSA won best overall club awards at Children 1 and 2 level and best named teams in three out of four categories.In C1 boys the BSA team placed second to the SSC team whose racers all trainined with the BSA during the sesaon. And if there’d been a trophy for best Mini Club we’d have won that too! Well done also to all those trainees who joined us in 2011 for extra training and performed under their home club banners in Meribel.
