Just a quick bit of news to boast of a new English born Ski talent.

We've just come back from watching the finals of the NORTH FACE SKI CHALLENGE which took place in Val Thorens at the weekend.

This fab competition which takes it's finalists from all over Europe - Finland, Sweeden, Germany, Slovakia, France and Italy - this year also included a 13 year old English free-ride skier who qualified 2nd in Chamonix at the end of February and earned a place in the finals amongst some awesome riders

Wearing number 9 (blue Oxbow jacket and POC helmet) Elliott held his own in both the Free-ride on Friday and Freestyle on Saturday despite white-out conditions!

Anyway check out the latest vid on youtube to see all the young riders in action on the free-ride day.


Big up to North Face for putting together this fab competition for young riders and fingers crossed for Elliott's next comp!
