The inaugural award goes to an individual who has pushed the boundaries of telemark. They have been a driving force in grass roots development, enabling opportunities for sailors and marines at snowdomes and artificial ski slopes across the UK and team training in Llangraff.

On Friday our sponsors enjoyed a race of their own - a parallel slalom in two teams… RNWSA President, led by Capt Tim Davey RN, vs RNWSA Chairman, led by Cdre Jol Woodard RN. It was a closely fought contest, but the President’s team just pipped the Chairman’s team at the post!
