I just didnt manage to get this post online before i left Bormio yesterday so it has had to wait until this evening.

With Friday coming to an end after another great day of skiing, we decided to have our final meal as a Bormio based team in the place we had our first meal back in May 2007 (Baita Dei Pini) when we did the first 'reccy' trip out to Bormio. Friday was a great slalom day for a children's team that holds a huge amount of promise for 2012, a team that seems to have a great dynamic already after just 10 days together. 

Saturday saw us pack up the ski room and clear our stuff out before a bit of motor-sport on the karting track. We jumped in the vans for one final epic trip to the airport, the 3.5 hours reminding me of something i will not miss next year.

It was sad to leave Bormio, leaving the Dei Cas family who have been so helpful to us over the past 4 years, but also very exciting to look ahead to a new challenge, the start of a new era for Ambition Racing and a move that will give the whole team a whole load of new opportunities. 

The very first Ambition Camp in 2007 saw Max Asquith as a first year child racer hanging 10 feet in the air from a t-bar and me wondering 'what this kid was up to?'..... And when i look at this athlete now, the only Ambition skier to have been on the very first and very last Stelvio camps, i know that the job we have done to date has been a good one. Long may it continue.

Arrivederci Bormio. THANKYOU. xxxxxxx
