The Grand Finale.

Ambition Team say a fond farewell to the Stelvio Glacier.

29th October 2010 at 10:16PM

The temperature rose and the clouds stayed away for the team's final day on the Stelvio Glacier. After an exhausting week in which the athletes have trained for around 8 hours per day, the sunshine and warm weather was a welcomed gesture as our camp came to a close today. The GS hill was in perfect condition and the slopes held up well for the children to finish with a great day of slalom.

The athletes gave one last push to finish the camp with some great skiing and we are confident that they have not only improved technically, but also developed a far deeper understanding of the tactics involved in the sport. At the start of the camp we talked about attitude and application, to improve across every area of the sport. This ethos has been adopted by all the athletes, and i can say that we are now heading in the right direction and i hope this continues throughout the whole winter.

For now, a massive thanks goes out to Monika Kimmich and Dawn Asquith who have looked after the athletes spectacularly over the course of the 2 weeks and also to the coaches who have worked every hour given in order to provide the best possible opportunities for the athletes. Tomorrow morning will see the Ambition Team load up and head out, with many of the athletes eagerly awaiting their next trips whether it be Landgraaf, Norway or indeed returning here for the start of the season proper.
