"NEWS - " Francesca's Salomon Skiing Successes ...

17/04/2012

Our sponsored ski star, Francesca, competed in the Anglo Scottish Cup races at Les Houches last month ... and did really well!

5th overall out of all the children in GS ... and 4th in Slalom - against children who spend all season training in the Alps.

She used her new Salomon GS skis for the GS, (She loves them!) - we'll have photos soon, with a bit of luck ...

They certainly helped her to improve her GS skiing for the Italy races before Christmas she was 5th in Slalom and 17th in GS on her old GS skis.

Francesca had not done any GS skiing before the race and didnt want the first time on her new Salomons to be in an actual race.
She used them for training after Christmas and what a difference ... from 17th to 5th, and skiing a lot better on them, too.

Francesca has been was training in Scotland again in preparation for the English Championships in Italy in February.

We look forward to bringing you another update soon!
