So the 2023/24 alpine season is over and the end of my children's racing career! It's been a mixed bag of results for me with the highlight though achieving Scottish Team selection!

The English champs saw a disappointing DNF (Did not Finish) at the English Alpine Championships with a straddle on a gate in the top section.

The Welsh Champs in Champery Switzerland seems to be a favourite of mine once again scooping a 3rd place podium. Tough competition with all the GB girls in the British Schoolgirls in Flaine the following week where I still finished 5th and helped our school with my sister Elena achieve 2 podiums, a 2nd place slalom and 3rd place combined SL and GS!

From there to Pra Loup, southern Alps to represent GB again in the International children's cup. In tough conditions on a very salty course, I was one of only 19 racers finishing and was 12th from 50 international racers in slalom. Unfortunately the weather led to other 4 races being cancelled.

Again due to war weather the Scottish champs was also cancelled for the 2nd year after achieving my 2nd place back in 2022.

My results this season meant that I am now top 8 in my year of birth in Great Britain and led to selection for the Scottish Ski Team, my proudest moment so far.

The indoor season started well with a 2nd and a 3rd place in the first two GBR series indoor races.

Nest steps for me is to get some more GS training in over the summer - warmer weather in Europe over the last 2 seasons has led to early glacier closures so this year to guarantee some training we are having to head to Chile, South America.

The cost of this is huge so I am fundraising with events such as raffles, bag packing and working as a ski instructor but I am always reaching out to my supporters to see if they can help.

Hey everyone,

We’ve got some fantastic news about Margi! Based on her stellar performance in the first four races of the season, she’s clinched the second spot for girls U16. That means we’re going to see her represent our country in not one, not two, but three major events in a row!

And guess what? She’s kicking it off with the unofficial World Cup in Folgaria, Italy! We’re super excited for her and can’t wait to see her shine on this international stage. Let’s all cheer for Margi as she takes on this amazing challenge!

A great finish to the indoor by winning the final GB race of the series at Chill Factore and the following day gaining 3rd place in the British Championships.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has donated towards my training as without these generous donations I would not be able to train as much as I do and see the resullts coming through.

A few week's rest now before going back to school and head down for GCSEs with a couple of races thrown in (next stop Netherlands for the Lowlands championships!)

We have just received a formal communication from the ISF advising of the sad, but clearly prudent decision after developments today, to cancel the ISF Winter Gymnasiade Erzurum 2023. This is obviously very disappointing for everyone involved in the event. I was really looking forward to representing my country next week but thoroughly understand given the circumstances.

At this time, our thoughts are also with the Turkish and Syrian people who have been so greatly impacted by the disaster.

There is a meeting tomorrow to review when the event can be rescheduled so we will keep you posted. All costs have been paid in full currently however if there is a full cancellation we will review insurances and return as much funding as possible.

Please see the message below from the ISF.

Dear ISF Members,

Dear Friends,

• We would like to inform you that by decision of the government of Türkiye, the ISF Winter Gymnasiade 2023 to be held in Erzurum, Türkiye from the 11th to 19th February 2023, has been cancelled, due to ‘force majeure’, following the tragedy of the earthquake which took place today in Türkiye.
• We would like to extend our appreciation to all of you for your continuing cooperation, and to express our thanks to ISF member the Turkish School Sport Federation, and the Local Organising Committee for all the efforts they have demonstrated in preparing this event.
• With the tragic events we have all been aware of today, the ISF and the school sport community will continue to stand in solidarity with our friends in Türkiye during these difficult times.
• Thank you for your understanding and support.

Yours sincerely,

The ISF Team

Hi all Georgia has been selected to ski for England at the World Winter Games in north-eastern Turkey in February. It will costs £2,500 so we're trying to raise the funds as none of it is funded by GBSki, Snowsport England or the English Schools Association

Hopefully an unobtrusive way to do this as everyone has so many financial commitments is via easyfundraising - every time you shop you can donate if you don't already donate to a cause!

Here is the info - thanks for looking
