BSA Online Auction

Ask4events are hosting our online fundraiser, we have some cracking auction lots, direct link to the auction site and information on lots here. We are raising money for the BSA and for some of our top Alpine competitors. The auction is now live and closes the day after the night slalom in Schladming. Support your local ski racers.

Artemis Anglo Scottish Cup, January 2018

The ASC will be held in Pila/Crevacol Italy with three days of racing for bairns (U10/U12) and four days for U14/16. Bairns will have a stubby slalom, combi and giant slalom.  Race entry is now open

For those teams and families coming into the valley we recommend putting up in Aosta.  It is most likely the races will be held in Pila, with lift access from the town, and Crevacol is an unhurried, 30 minute drive. We hope to confirm location in the week leading up to the event.

This in from Brad:  Best crash of the weekend at Castleford (Charlie Quinn) awarded with BSA T-shirt.

Summer Programme

US Coach Rob Worrell joins BSA coaching staff for 2017/18

We are delighted to welcome Rob Worrell to the 2017/2018 coaching staff. Rob joins us on a year's sabbatical from the prestigious Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV).

USSA Alpine coach of the year 2016, Rob was formerly Steamboat Springs Head Coach and US Ski Team Regional Coach before joining SSCV. Rob had the fortune of an SSCV partnership with Ski Gymnasium Stams where he spent over 3 months training in their system, as well as studying the Norwegian system on a fact finding mission in 2014.

Rob is motivated to continue to push GBR athletes to higher levels and to see each athlete reach their full ski racing potential. He says his greatest satisfaction as a coach is seeing maximum progress, and athletes who put their chin in the fall line!

Many thanks to SSCV for the loan of their Mens Alpine Director and U16 Head Coach. And thanks as ever to our sponsors, Artemis Investment Management, whose support continues to bolster the scope and quality of the British Ski Academy programme.
