School events are typically for teams rather than individuals, and prior to the lockdowns The Abbey team won the National Schools Outdoor Championships in 2019.<\/p>\n

Since the lockdown restrictions have been lifted there has been a small number of school races, with more scheduled for the autumn term onwards.<\/p>\n

Lauren, Lower VI (Year 12) has represented The Abbey as an individual and had some great successes: in the five races entered she has recorded three first and two second places, including this week when Lauren won gold at the National Schools Indoor Open Championships (South) at Hemel.<\/p>\n

Racing is on slalom courses, on both outdoor dry slopes and indoor snow domes in the UK (and there\u2019s even the possibility of racing in the Alps). The courses give an exciting but achievable challenge for any competent skier.<\/p>\n

We are now looking for any budding ski racers that might like to join the team. Previous race experience is not necessary and any Senior School student able to ski confidently using parallel turns is welcome.<\/p>\n

It is also not necessary to have your own ski equipment as this can be hired if needed. We intend to arrange slalom training sessions before the next round of races, so please contact Mrs Penhaligon to register your interest.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][uncode_share layout=”multiple” separator=”yes” title=”Share”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
