Folks, us guys at Aberdeen Snowsports Club are delighted to support any new and exciting event that raises the profile of Scottish Snowsports. We did that with the Scottish Ski and Boarder Cross in 2010 and as you all know had a second great event in 2011 at Glenshee.
Just for clarity around the date clash. We sought the 3/4 March 2012 over a year ago from Snowsport Scotland and have worked hard with the Scottish Competitions Committee to ensure that there was a pattern and framework in the calender. In essence we wanted to ensure that where possible only one major event was on at any time and where there was a clash they were of different disciplines. Indeed we are delivering the Glenshee Winter Games on 4/5 February 2012 which features a seeded Alpine Race and the first leg of the Highlander series. The broader and better the calender is the better for all of us. That said, I am dissappointed that an event such as the Coe Cup which we would undoubtedly been able to support with entries and spectators is on the same weekend as the SSBX.
This year the SSBX is going to be bigger and better. Premier Oil have come on board as principal sponsor, a whole range of industry sponsors, Goretex, Salomon, Zaini and others are confirming as we speak and we have the GB Ski Cross Team competing.
I wish the Coe Cup well it will be a great event I'm sure, the more variety the better. Check out our links to see what we are about [
