BSA & Anglo Scottish Combine to bring great racing for FIS, Children and Bairns (mini's)

The result of bringing the Anglo Scottish Championships together with the British Ski Academy Grand Prix was satisfied racers, happy faces and some great races. the innovations for the Bairns races may not have appeased the apparatchiks that sit on committees but the if they could have seen the smiles on the faces of the athletes, then this justifies the decisions made. The slopes used for the racing were great, the course crews kept the slopes in great nick and the smiles kept coming from all. But what happened in the racing? Who enhanced their reputations and who needs to raise their game....
