British slalom skier Dave Ryding's is heading to the FIS World Cup Finals in St Moritz next week after making it through the season as one of the 25 best in the world.
"I have achieved something more than I ever dreamt of as a child. It was an incredibly proud moment realising I had made it to the World Cup Finals!" said Dave, who added,
"It has been an incredible season and to take part in every single second run of the World Cup Slalom series this season says a lot... I didn't always get my best skiing out there but I was always there to give it a go. The great thing is I now get another shot and the 2016 World Cup circuit continues for myself to St Moritz."
The World Cup Finals kick off next Monday, with the Men's Slalom taking place on Sunday 20 March.
In the meantime Dave will also compete this weekend in Germany, in the Oberjoch Europa Cup Slalom, which takes place on Sunday.
