The GB Alpine team is set for the Saalbach Championships, showcasing strong performances in recent World Cup events.

The GB squad for the Saalbach Alpine World Championships has been announced, featuring eight male and six female athletes competing across six Alpine disciplines. This selection underscores the team`s commitment and readiness for the upcoming championships, showcasing the potential of British skiers on the international stage.

In recent World Cup events, British athletes have demonstrated impressive performances. The GB Snowsport team has celebrated several podium finishes, with standout moments including Brilliant Brookes clinching a Big Air Gold in Klagenfurt and Musgrave securing third place in the Tour de Ski 20km F event. Additional successes include Atkin earning Silver in Copper Mountain and the duo of Simpson/Poth and Taylor achieving World Cup Golds.

While Franjo von Allmen, a non-British skier, made headlines by winning his first Super G in Wengen, the event highlighted the competitive nature of the World Cup circuit. Perfect conditions contributed to this significant milestone for von Allmen.

Despite modest snow depths in the Alps for mid-January, skiing conditions remain enjoyable across various resorts, ensuring that enthusiasts can still experience good piste-skiing. The current weather report indicates that while the snow may not be abundant, the skiing experience is still favorable.
