The third Championship to be held in Tignes has come to a close and we can look back on a hugely successful event. Over 800 service and civilian personnel have undertaken instruction and racing and there have been a number of noteworthy achievements throughout the 2 week event.

This is the third year in the venue which is proving to be a big hit with the attendees. Guaranteed snow, a first class race piste and superb instructors have all contributed to the success of the event. It does of course help when there are sunny skies almost throughout. This is my final year and I would like to say goodbye and thank you to other leavers, Gouldie Graham Napier and Kieren Mawer and to all of the remaining team, thank you for all your efforts and time over the last 4 years.

Thanks also to the sponsors and partners, ETC, CSC, Deloitte, MBDA, Rolls Royce, Rush Insurance, Rick Drury and Rob James, Evolution II and Tignes Development.

We now look towards 2013 as we fine tune the service we provide here in Tignes. I would encourage all of you to make the effort to come to the event, we are constantly striving to make it as affordable as possible – the dates for next year are 12-26 January. Please monitor this website and that of ETC www.eventtravelcompany.com for further details. I look forward to seeing you on the slopes.
