>> REVIEW - ON TRACK summer training, tignes June 21 - 4 July

we had a great couple of weeks on the Grande Motte glacier in tignes, with great weather and good conditions. snow was softer than we'd have liked but we still had 2 great weeks training. although we mixed slalom and GS, we trained mainly on short skis due to the softer conditions.

the hill was really quiet so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. as the resort was quiet in general, we had the fitness and sports facilities to ourselves as well! technical training on the hill in the morning, followed by fitness testing and training every afternoon under the watchful eye of Craig Lawless, On Track's very own mr motivator!! the guys trained really hard and hopefully with their personalised training programmes to follow over the summer, will come back fitter, faster, stronger and hungrier than ever!

photos from the 2 weeks online soon.

>> EUROTEST ski regulations

the ongoing saga... contrary to what was written here previously, it looks like FIS regulations (non WC) are staying with 21m RADIUS for 2008/9. we're trying to get hold of the French government to see what their take on things for Eurotests will be this season.

cut and paste this weblink and go to the section on alpine ski radius...
