New Easter Mountain Event

The Ski Club of Great Britain is launching a new mountain event during the Easter holidays in Tignes, France.

The event, the Ski Club Dual Slalom, will be open to all ages and abilities on Wednesday, April 7, 2010.  Skiers and snowboarders will be able to race in teams of four on two slalom courses set up side-by-side.  The Ski Club Dual Slalom is being run in cooperation with Evolution 2 ski school in Tignes.

Says Emma Bebb from the Ski Club:

“The Ski Club is delighted to announce that we will be running this new event in one of Europe’s most popular resorts. We know how people like to get involved in races and we felt a dual slalom would be perfect to get the competitive juices flowing for skiers and snowboarders of all standards. It is not only a race but also a chance to mingle, don your best fancy dress, win prizes and party into the evening.”

Following the race, an awards ceremony will be held at Le Coffee, Evolution 2’s restaurant.  There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in both a Trophy and Plate competition and awards for the best family, best children and best fancy dress.   A party in the Loop Bar in Tignes Le Lac is also planned.
