Edinburgh competition
Saturday 6th November, will see over 100 of the top student skiers
and snowboarders from across Scotland competing in the Scottish
Universities Snowsport Championships at Midlothian Ski Centre in
Edinburgh.
Known by fellow competitors as SUDS, the competition is unique to
snowsports, with skiing and snowboarding both catered for with a
full race and freestyle programme. A GS for the racers and a dual
slalom for the teams will be on offer, as well as a big air for
the freestylers. They will all be looking to execute their moves
perfectly to win top honours for their respective Universities.
The plan
The day will kick off with the first race, a GS from the top of
the slope with the boarders leading the way. Past winner, Eilidh
McNicoll from (Glasgow University) will be hoping to defend her
win last year in the Ski GS and possibly score the double by winning
the Snowboard GS. However ex British team skiers Louise Hartley
and Mairi Crawford, (both Dundee University) and Louise Kochalski
(Aberdeen), will be looking provide a serious challenge.
In the Snowboard Big Air Posy Dickson, (Edinburgh
University), will be battling for top honours, with them both gaining
titles in last years comp and the skiing looks like being dominated
by Ali Reith (Heriot Watt University). The male ski GS will be a
close battle between Ian Findlay (Heriot Watt University) and Benjy
Bryden (Edinburgh University).
Brave the weather
All spectators that are willing to brave the Scottish weather in
late November are welcome to attend and can also look forward to
commentary and tunes all day. The after party will be hosted from
7pm in the human be-in.
