Todays slalom proved to be a success for many of the Ambition team as they negotiated the Stella Alpina Piste once more. We have been blessed with some great conditions here - the rain followed by cold overnight temperatures have made for a very grippy, solid piste - showing few ruts even after 140 skiers.

The first Bormio CIT slalom saw a number of Ambition athletes score personal best results; Joseph Webb (82), James Foster (53), Emily Evans (81), Ellie Pocock (100). Other athletes put in some good runs also, with Roy Steudle scoring a 2nd result and Alex Buchanan getting better each day. Violet Miller put some points on the board with her first slalom result too. The younger boys had a few issues today but after some stern words i think tomorrow will be a different story.

Today was a day off for the Children athletes while new athletes arrived and we would like to say a very warm welcome to Beth Soman, Oliver Chalkley, Finlay Davies, Max Asquith, Amy Young, Luke Steyn and Peter Glasgow.

Tomorrow is the last race of the CIT series and the coaches are confident that the guys can pull some more results out of the bag before taking a well deserved day-off on Monday.
