The British Ski Academy

With the magnificent co-operation of ESS Verbier and Televerbier the British Ski Academy is proud to announce a four-year partnership to host our popular British national seedpoint ski races at this world class resort until 2030.

OVERVIEW

Since 1996 the BSA has expertly trained and encouraged young British ski racers to develop their skills, attitudes and conditioning. Alpine World Cup current and former British luminaries Dave Ryding, Laurie Taylor, Charlie Guest, Alex Tilley & Eddie Drake all developed skills with the BSA. Most of their coaches also have or had close associations with BSA. Young hotshots Molly Butler and the Carrick-Smith brothers raced under our banner since they were Minis and have been frequent visitors.

Congratulations to Dave on his spectacular career and to Laurie on his 4th place in Levi and his two World Cup fastest runs, and also to Freddy Carrick-Smith on his silver medal in the WJC slalom and for his current world ranking of 53rd in GS while still a teenager! Huge commiserations to elder brother Luca who was winning the WJC SL by two seconds with ten gates to go......

Watch out for BSA members and former trainees preparing for their World Championship, World Cup and Europa Cup seasons.
