Natives Dual Slalom report - Courchevel Enquirer
Being a resident in the alps my trip to Tignes was very easy and short. After arriving at the Jam bar for the inaugural Natives UK summer snowsport weekender in Tignes I started to meet some of the other participates as they turned up in town. The first arrival was a car full of rather weary Skiworld staff led by James who had just completed a 10 hour journey direct from their Hammersmith offices. After the usual pleasantries I realised that I had, by saying hello and shaking Jamesí hand, inadvertently agreed to join the Skiworld allstars team.
Looking back this was very fortuitous as the SAT performed a clean sweep beating all comers in the following day dual slalom competition. I could put this down to superior ability and the race craft of my team members but really the real reason was we werenít hindered by a snowboarder on our team. Something our competitors had in excess. So despite, and forgive the pun, the slightly unlevel playfield Skiworld now have some more glassware to add to their trophy cabinet.

Final result
1st Skiworld allstars (4-0)
2nd Metrosnow.co.uk (3-1)
3rd The Others (2-3)
4th Ski Club of Great Britain (1-3)
5th Crowded House (0-4)
