It looked a bit grim when we arrived in the car park at 7.10 this morning to head up the glacier. The clouds seemed to be clinching onto the mountain tops,producing a mixture of rain and sleet through the first hour of this mornings session. We were not to be deterred however as Benn set off with some challenging drills for the children, while the juniors attempted to ski slalom with the weights discs that had been weighing their bags down all morning.

This all worked pretty well - we saw some decent skiing, some small improvements and while we went in for some video analysis, the sun came out. So we spent the last hour of the morning working in a brush slalom course, varying hand positions and trying to nail a decent balance point to build on through the coming months and camps.

This afternoon was awesome fun as we played Man-Hunt on the hill side of the Bagni Nuovi Spa. This lasted for about 3 hours and ended in a game of coaches VS athletes.... The coaches stopping 11 out of 14 athletes from getting in, not a bad effort from the 3 of us (plus a little help from Tom). Following that it was onto the less exciting but equally important core sessions and plyometrics.

This evening has been very positive indeed with 2 new sponsors outlining more of what they would like to do with Ambition during the 2012 winter season - CEP Compression Sportswear and Outdoor Traders both coming on board with details following shortly.

BUT..... The biggest news of the day was from SNOW & ROCK.

These guys have been supporting the Ambition SnowCentre camp for the last 2 years and this year have come up trumps with what must be THE top prize of this years camp.... Oh yes... It's a GoPro.

For anyone who has not seen what these puppies do, check out www.gopro.com. They are awesome and we have 1 and only 1 to give away on the Atomic-Ambition Camp in Hemel from the 25th - 28th July.

More news on the camps tomorrow!
