Dave Edwards, CEO of governing body British Ski and Snowboard said: “The continued support of Delancey as the major sponsor of British Alpine Skiing and of the British Alpine Championships reiterates their commitment to British sport.

“The Delancey British Alpine Championships continues to be the biggest event on the British Alpine skiing calendar. By confirming Meribel as our chosen resort for the Championships, we believe we are returning to one of the best ski resorts in the world and are proud to work with Meribel who will host the Alpine World Cup in 2015.”

Speaking on behalf of Delancey, and as President of British Ski and Snowboard, Sir John Ritblat comments:“We are delighted to once again sponsor the prestigious British National Alpine Ski Championships, particularly at such an exciting time, as our talented athletes prepare to compete against the world at their very own Winter Olympics in Sochi - a unique global event which will take place in front of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.
