The Gosling Ski & Board Centre will host the series opener on Saturday 8 May

Each summer the LSERSA hold a series of dry slope slalom races open to members of affiliated clubs in the London & South East region which covers 22 snowsports clubs across London, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Kent, Berkshire, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire.

Skiers of all ages from minis to seniors compete in nine different age categories with each event then run as a three-race slalom with results determined by the best time of the first two runs plus the time of the third run.

Those taking part can win individual event awards at each of the five summer series race dates or use points scored if placed first to ninth to aim for an overall prize at the end of the race series based on their three best performances.

Kicking off the summer race series on Saturday 8 May will be the Gosling Ski & Board Centre in Welwyn Garden City, where former LSERSA racer, Olympian and Ski Club sponsored rider Ed Drake will be presenting prizes for the day’s slalom racing.

The series – sponsored by Ski Bartlett, Aosta Valley and Snow+Rock – then moves to Bowles, Brentford and Bromley ski centres during May, June and July before the series closer in Aldershot on Sunday 3 October.
