"Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know about some fantastic results
achieved by my family riding GOODE skis.
My 17 year old daughter, Alyce, and her 16 year old brother,
Tim, are 3 event skiers and my husband, James, is a single event
skier. Recently, at our NSW state titles, Alyce, skiing in U/17
girls, won all of her events and slalomed into the 12m line on
both rounds. Tim opted to ski in the Open Men's division and won
all three disciplines. The slalom was nail- biting stuff with the
scores being tied for first place (2 @ 11m), a run-off was held.
Tim backed up his previous rounds with a 2 1/2 @ 11m to win gold.
James placed second in the O/45 men's slalom.
The Nationals were held the following week and Alyce & Tim skied
U/17 division. They both won all events and are both U/17 National
champions. Tim equaled the Australian U/17 slalom and jump records
and broke the U/17 and U/21 overall records. James again placed
2nd in the O/45 men's division.
Alyce rides a GOODE 9800 SL Maika'i, Tim rides the GOODE 9600
(185amp), and James the GOODE 9600 (175amp).
Kind regards,
Cathie"
