Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Tuesday December 30th 2008 will, in future years, be remembered as one of <strong>the</strong> most important dates in <strong>the</strong> history<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Downhill Only Club, perhaps ranking only just below February 7th 1925.<br />

On December 30th <strong>the</strong> Club President, on behalf of all <strong>the</strong> members, signed <strong>the</strong> document which purchased from <strong>the</strong> Fuchs family,<br />

<strong>the</strong> freehold of a substantial part of <strong>the</strong> ground floor of <strong>the</strong> old Eiger Hotel. That evening, <strong>the</strong> D.H.O Club Room held it’s first social<br />

event attended by upwards of 80 people. We were proud to be <strong>the</strong>re!<br />

You will all agree <strong>the</strong> Eiger is <strong>the</strong> most prominent building visitors to Wengen see on <strong>the</strong>ir arrival at <strong>the</strong> railway station. To purchase<br />

and secure a permanent home for <strong>the</strong> club was a ‘once in lifetime’ opportunity. There was, in <strong>the</strong> current vernacular, “no way” <strong>the</strong><br />

purchase was not going to be made since subsequent generations would never have forgiven us.<br />

Whilst recognising <strong>the</strong> generosity of <strong>the</strong> members who made <strong>the</strong> purchase possible, it is now time for all of us to dig deep and pay off<br />

<strong>the</strong> bank loan by whatever means are required. As with <strong>the</strong> purchase of <strong>the</strong> Breithorn apartment, fund-raising events will no doubt<br />

be held in <strong>the</strong> immediate future. A modest increase in annual subscriptions is entirely justified in view of <strong>the</strong> marvellous facility <strong>the</strong><br />

club now has. You will have recently received <strong>the</strong> new leaflet and letter from <strong>the</strong> President and we trust all members will contribute<br />

whatever <strong>the</strong>y can.<br />

A dinner party to celebrate <strong>the</strong> clubs 85th anniversary will be held on Thursday February 4th during Macmillan week. Although <strong>the</strong><br />

venue (a village hotel) is yet to be confirmed, it would be appreciated if those interested in attending would complete <strong>the</strong> tear off slip<br />

on page 5 and return it to <strong>the</strong> Hon Secretary.<br />

Lastly, this coming season a new chairlift from <strong>the</strong> Arvengarten to <strong>the</strong> top of Salzegg will replace one of <strong>the</strong> last ‘T-Bar’ lifts in <strong>the</strong><br />

Scheidegg area. Whilst many will welcome <strong>the</strong> change, <strong>the</strong> great advantage of T-Bar’s were that having elbowed-out any competition,<br />

one had plenty of time en-route, to chat up <strong>the</strong> attractive lady one had seen ahead in <strong>the</strong> lift queue. They also provided a perfectly<br />

justifiable excuse to put ones arm around <strong>the</strong> said person if <strong>the</strong> going got steep! Not only has <strong>the</strong> superior uphill speed of a chair-lift<br />

dramatically reduced <strong>the</strong> ‘ACUT’ quotient (Available Chat-Up Time), on a six-person chair she can shuffle out of arms reach! An<br />

absolutely dreadful state of affairs! It is surely not too much to ask <strong>the</strong> new Director of <strong>the</strong> Jungfraubahn to ensure <strong>the</strong> Tschuggen<br />

T-bar is left to provide an opportunity for old-fashioned romance down in <strong>the</strong> sunlit wooded glades!<br />

Good skiing – and enjoy <strong>the</strong> Club Room.<br />

From Mr Martin Garthwaite.<br />

Dear Mr <strong>Price</strong>,<br />

We paid our annual visit to Wengen at <strong>the</strong> beginning of April and were delighted to find <strong>the</strong> new D.H.O club house on <strong>the</strong> ground floor<br />

of <strong>the</strong> old Eiger Hotel. Central, large and welcoming with its bar and kitchen inherited from <strong>the</strong> old Eiger; a real boon to all members.<br />

What a scoop – which will I hope encourage more of <strong>the</strong> young, to take advantage of <strong>the</strong> facility.<br />

Yours sincerely,<br />

La Cour Normande,<br />

St.Martin,<br />

Jersey,<br />

Channel Islands<br />

From Mr Simon Wainman.<br />

Dear David,<br />

Members may wish to be informed that Flybe fly from Southampton at 0645 each Saturday during <strong>the</strong> ski season arriving Bern at 0935<br />

local time. Having arranged a taxi direct to Lauterbrunnen (Chf 40 per person), unpacked in our chalet, collected skis from Central<br />

Sport, bought ski passes, we were in <strong>the</strong> Männlichen lift at 1230 on our way to <strong>the</strong> slopes We thus got an extra half days skiing. The<br />

return flight left Bern at 1020 which meant an 0715 train from Wengen. Cost about £115 for <strong>the</strong> return trip including all taxes.<br />

A very comfortable and friendly service on a small plane. which we can recommend to members.<br />

Yours sincerely,<br />

Simon Wainman.<br />

D.H.O Journals<br />

The club is currently searching for unbound copies of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O<br />

Journal. The intention is to make a digital copy of each page so,<br />

that <strong>the</strong> entire run can be contained on one or more CD’s complete<br />

with index. The issues required are: 1936 to 1938, i.e <strong>the</strong> rarest of<br />

all and 1946 – 1969. Please contact <strong>the</strong> Hon Editor with details of<br />

copies you are prepared to loan.<br />

Old Photographs<br />

The D.H.O archive is always pleased to receive photographs which<br />

illustrate skiing in Wengen and early years of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O. Items<br />

from old family albums can be copied and returned. Wherever<br />

possible please ensure that <strong>the</strong> names of those depicted, and <strong>the</strong><br />

year in which <strong>the</strong> image was taken are stated on <strong>the</strong> back of <strong>the</strong><br />

print.<br />

Between Christmas and New Year extremely high winds of<br />

circa 150 mph battered Kleine Scheidegg causing <strong>the</strong> temporary<br />

suspension of WAB services beyond Allmend. On walking past<br />

<strong>the</strong> chairlift, <strong>the</strong> wood path adjacent to <strong>the</strong> railway appeared<br />

closed and, in my infinite un-wisdom, I took <strong>the</strong> right hand path,<br />

i.e up <strong>the</strong> ‘Rat Run’ to it’s junction with <strong>the</strong> Lauberhorn Race<br />

Course. Sarah and I <strong>the</strong>n walked (perhaps ‘staggered ‘ is <strong>the</strong> more<br />

correct description) ‘diretissima’ up <strong>the</strong> left side of <strong>the</strong> absolutely<br />

deserted ski slope, rejoining <strong>the</strong> footpath immediately to <strong>the</strong> right<br />

of <strong>the</strong> tunnel through which <strong>the</strong> racers ski under <strong>the</strong> railway on<br />

race-day.<br />

Having seen no o<strong>the</strong>r people for what seemed like hours, we<br />

eventually arrived at <strong>the</strong> Wengernalp Hotel. After an excellent<br />

lunch and lots of drinks we <strong>the</strong>n sauntered down <strong>the</strong> proper<br />

foot-path back to Wengen.<br />

The moral of this story could be that one should not let a mere<br />

‘Steering Wheel Attendant’ navigate. However, I recall that on<br />

one quite serious rally many years ago, travelling at 60 – odd<br />

mph in <strong>the</strong> dark hours around 2 in <strong>the</strong> morning through Epynt<br />

Forest in Wales, my navigator said “100 yards/90 left”. I did as<br />

instructed and we went through a hedge into a field !!<br />

The folowing day, a large group of members entrained to<br />

Lauterbrunnen and walked up to <strong>the</strong> Isenfluh restaurant for<br />

lunch.<br />

Winter Season Report 2008/09<br />

Part 1: GOING... GOING... GONE!<br />

Paul Zvegintsov<br />

Yes, honestly! We really have retired from <strong>the</strong> job! Please note that <strong>the</strong> word “retire” refers to <strong>the</strong> skiing job and<br />

not to earning an honest crust in <strong>the</strong> real world, which sadly requires a lot more years of hard labour! Of course,<br />

hopefully, we will soon be back again in Wengen (on holiday!).<br />

We decided in 2000 that when I was 55 to 60, I would like to<br />

hand over <strong>the</strong> job to someone else, however I was flexible and,<br />

lacking a replacement candidate in 2005, I seemed to linger on<br />

to 63! The D.H.O. part of my chequered career started in about<br />

1970 when Piers Benson-Browning asked me to rep for a couple<br />

of weeks. I managed to rep most years after that until 1989,<br />

having just lost my winter job as an instructor in Aviemore <strong>the</strong> sad<br />

news of Piers’ death prompted my mo<strong>the</strong>r-in-law to volunteer me<br />

as his replacement. Subsequently, I have been lucky enough to be<br />

kept on by <strong>the</strong> club for 18 years as secretary and <strong>the</strong>n manager. I<br />

cannot think of a life more suited for Maree and I. Firstly, because<br />

we both love Wengen and have always enjoyed <strong>the</strong> outdoors and<br />

skiing. Secondly because our marine business and holiday cottages<br />

do not operate in <strong>the</strong> winter months. Thirdly, <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r in<br />

winter in <strong>the</strong> West Hghlands leaves a lot to be desired!<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> many years we have made literally hundreds of<br />

friends, both within <strong>the</strong> club and with <strong>the</strong> people of Wengen.<br />

We have loved <strong>the</strong> little flat which we cheekily always refer to as<br />

“our flat” having been instrumental in its design and equipping.<br />

We have had fantastic support from all <strong>the</strong> Presidents <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

Committees and, of course, you <strong>the</strong> members. Hopefully, we have<br />

not made too many blunders.<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> job, we have been able to continue to bring up our<br />

two boys in an outdoor environment and both have become very<br />

accomplished skiers. Our dog Linnhe loves <strong>the</strong> snow and dragging<br />

<strong>the</strong> sledge. So much so that she has become a little ‘huski’ - (it<br />

must be too much barking!).<br />

Since taking over , I have had three ambitions for <strong>the</strong> D.H.O.<br />

Firstly to get a club house and I started to recommend places in<br />

1991. Secondly, to get a flat for <strong>the</strong> secretary and, Thirdly, to<br />

persuade <strong>the</strong> WAB to lay on a 4pm train daily from Grund to<br />

Wengen with out changing and with Kaffee and Kuchen served en<br />

route! I suppose that two out of three is not bad but <strong>the</strong>re is still<br />

time for <strong>the</strong> last one!<br />

This last season has once again seen really good snow and as usual<br />

even better after we left! Wengen continues to improve its lift and<br />

snow cannon system so that if in future <strong>the</strong> snows should be a<br />

scarce, <strong>the</strong> D.H.O can be assured of good sport.<br />

I had some really good days skiing this year and enjoyed not<br />

having to be in charge all <strong>the</strong> time. Sheridan quickly took on <strong>the</strong><br />

day-to-day running of <strong>the</strong> skiing and of course <strong>the</strong> onerous task<br />

of developing <strong>the</strong> club house. Our final weeks were delightfully<br />

filled with endless invitations and of course <strong>the</strong> fantastic dinner in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Baren. We were so touched by our send off and <strong>the</strong> generous<br />

donations. The cuckoo clock is in our kitchen to remind us of<br />

Wengen and <strong>the</strong> donations, which you kindly gave, have been put<br />

towards a wood burning stove so that in <strong>the</strong> future cold Argyll<br />

winters, all we have to do to keep warm is to ......chop and chop<br />

and chop wood. If it is very cold we can also light <strong>the</strong> fire!<br />

We hope to see you all some time ei<strong>the</strong>r in Wengen or in Argyll and<br />

no doubt we will be back in Wengen very soon. Aufwiedersehen !<br />

Paul


Part 2: Sheridan Killwick<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

I set off from London at 4.30am on Monday 15 December to drive to Wengen, my car fully loaded with all <strong>the</strong><br />

things I thought I would need for <strong>the</strong> winter season. Can you imagine my thoughts during my journey to Switzerland?<br />

I was about to start <strong>the</strong> daunting task of taking over from Paul who had been Wengen Manager/Secretary<br />

for 17 years.<br />

The drive went smoothly; I arrived in Lauterbrunnen at 7pm and<br />

<strong>the</strong> friendly WAB staff helped me on <strong>the</strong> train with my luggage.<br />

A complete stranger (who turned out to be a waitress at <strong>the</strong> Eiger<br />

restaurant), helped me carry luggage to <strong>the</strong> flat. Thank you<br />

Barbara - a true welcome to Wengen. I had always had fond<br />

memories of <strong>the</strong> friendliness of people <strong>the</strong>re and nothing has<br />

changed.<br />

There was lots of snow over Christmas; it snowed on New<br />

Years Eve and <strong>the</strong> sky on New Year’s Day was a brilliant blue.<br />

Everything looked set for an excellent winter, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> wind came<br />

and blew all <strong>the</strong> snow from <strong>the</strong> side of <strong>the</strong> pistes leaving it ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

bare and ugly for <strong>the</strong> Lauberhorn race. Due to <strong>the</strong> excellent snow<br />

cannons <strong>the</strong> pistes remained in very good condition throughout<br />

January and it snowed again and again in February.<br />

It was a very exciting to be starting my new role just as <strong>the</strong><br />

D.H.O was in <strong>the</strong> process of purchasing its very own club room.<br />

Many will have fond memories of <strong>the</strong> “Hut” which has been<br />

<strong>the</strong> ‘temporary home’ since <strong>the</strong> late 1970’s. After <strong>the</strong> inaugural<br />

evening we used <strong>the</strong> “Hut” for several weeks of <strong>the</strong> season and<br />

moved permanently to <strong>the</strong> new club premises in mid-January.<br />

Susie Davies led a House committee to get <strong>the</strong> room up and<br />

running. Paul, Max, o<strong>the</strong>r members and myself helped paint<br />

<strong>the</strong> kitchen, put up memorabilia, fix <strong>the</strong> glass washer, move <strong>the</strong><br />

furniture, make an office for <strong>the</strong> Wengen Manager, purchase a<br />

fridge and various o<strong>the</strong>r jobs. Many members very generously<br />

donated items for <strong>the</strong> new club room.<br />

There was an immediate increase on <strong>the</strong> number of members<br />

coming to office hours and drinks parties. We could never have<br />

managed 85 people in <strong>the</strong> “Hut”. Volunteers opened <strong>the</strong> club<br />

room during <strong>the</strong> day for a few hours, internet access was set up<br />

for member day time use, tea and coffee machines were donated,<br />

and a library established. The system of members bringing bottles<br />

remained as before but volunteers were needed to run <strong>the</strong> bar and<br />

clear <strong>the</strong> glasses. (You will be pleased to know we have dispensed<br />

with <strong>the</strong> plastic ones). New visitors to <strong>the</strong> new club room will be<br />

particularly impressed with all <strong>the</strong> beautiful cups on display in<br />

<strong>the</strong> glass cabinets.<br />

The D.H.O club races went ahead as usual staring with <strong>the</strong> Heinz<br />

cup pairs race during <strong>the</strong> New Year holidays and Paul’s cryptic<br />

poetic clues were as good as ever. The atmosphere during <strong>the</strong><br />

Lauberhorn race weekend was brilliant and it was tremendous<br />

fun watching both <strong>the</strong> downhill and <strong>the</strong> slalom events.<br />

The following weekend our own 25 strong team competed in <strong>the</strong><br />

Inferno. I remember it well back in 1994 when I raced for <strong>the</strong><br />

D.H.O in <strong>the</strong> Inferno <strong>the</strong>re were only six of us. My heart was in<br />

my mouth at <strong>the</strong> start and all I could remember <strong>the</strong> whole way<br />

down was my bro<strong>the</strong>r Edward’s words of advice “what ever you<br />

do don’t fall” well I made it to <strong>the</strong> end without falling and even<br />

qualified for a bronze medal.<br />

D.H.O racing in Macmillan Cup week started with <strong>the</strong> Lucy<br />

Dicker night slalom with some 40 entrants and <strong>the</strong> same for <strong>the</strong><br />

Macmillan. After prize giving on Thursday evening, almost one<br />

hundred people attended Paul and Maree’s farewell party at <strong>the</strong><br />

Bären. It was a night to remember and a great way to thank <strong>the</strong>m<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir hard work over 17 years.<br />

In March, Liz Moore co-ordinated our five teams for <strong>the</strong> Amateur<br />

Inter-club races held in Mürren and hosted by <strong>the</strong> Kandahar.<br />

Please read Liz’ article for a detailed summary. The D.H.O will<br />

host this race in Wengen in 2011 so please order your cat suit<br />

now!!<br />

On most days during <strong>the</strong> season we were able to offer members<br />

two ski groups and this seem to work well. In some weeks we had<br />

so many members that we could have done with two D.H.O reps<br />

assisting <strong>the</strong> Wengen Manager not just one. It was great to see so<br />

many members out skiing in Wengen and I hope to see more of<br />

you next season. The first Presidents party to be held in <strong>the</strong> new<br />

club room was a huge success with some 90 people <strong>the</strong>re.<br />

Lastly, my special thanks go to Paul and Maree for making me<br />

welcome and to Max and Eden for <strong>the</strong>ir kind hospitality for<br />

putting me up for <strong>the</strong> first half of <strong>the</strong> season.<br />

President’s Report<br />

Max Davies<br />

This was a memorable season with two important events in <strong>the</strong> history of our Club.<br />

Firstly <strong>the</strong>re was <strong>the</strong> purchase and move to our new Club premises in <strong>the</strong> former Eiger<br />

Hotel, secondly <strong>the</strong>re was <strong>the</strong> appointment and changeover of <strong>the</strong> new Wengen Manager.<br />

As a perfect background to <strong>the</strong>se major changes, it was a really excellent skiing season<br />

with brilliant snow conditions until well after Easter.<br />

The new Club premises in <strong>the</strong> old Eiger Hotel are as good as you<br />

can get. This purchase truly establishes <strong>the</strong> D.H.O in Wengen<br />

for future generations and <strong>the</strong> feedback from all those who have<br />

used it is very positive. We can at last put all our memorabilia<br />

and cups on show, and <strong>the</strong> number already in <strong>the</strong> display cabinets<br />

is amazing. One of <strong>the</strong>se cabinets was donated by one of our<br />

members and is very special. But as I said in last year’s report, we<br />

now have to pay for it as it has been bought with borrowed money.<br />

The cost was CHF820.000 and we have borrowed CHF400,000<br />

from <strong>the</strong> local Raiffeisen Bank (currently @ 3 ½ %); <strong>the</strong> D.H.O<br />

put in CHF100,000 from its funds. The rest was borrowed from<br />

various members interest free for 3 years. The help and support of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Fuchs family in getting permission to purchase <strong>the</strong>se premises<br />

was invaluable, and we hope we will continue to see <strong>the</strong>m in<br />

Wengen and in our Club for years to come.<br />

By <strong>the</strong> time you read this you will have received my letter regarding<br />

raising funds. Please do help if you can; and if you haven’t been<br />

to Wengen recently do come and enjoy <strong>the</strong> new facility. A meeting<br />

place such as this is truly unique in any ski resort.<br />

Until <strong>the</strong> middle of February Sheridan Killwick and Paul<br />

Zvegintzov shared <strong>the</strong> position of Wengen Manager, and Paul left<br />

after MacMillan Cup Week. A lot of tributes have been paid to<br />

Paul and Maree, but I would like here also to thank <strong>the</strong>m for<br />

doing as excellent job over <strong>the</strong> past 17 years or so. They have<br />

both become good friends to many of us; we wish <strong>the</strong>m all <strong>the</strong><br />

best, and hope to see <strong>the</strong>m in Wengen on <strong>the</strong> snow for many years<br />

to come.<br />

Sheridan <strong>the</strong>n moved into <strong>the</strong> Breithorn and into her position<br />

as sole Wengen Manager. It is always difficult to take over from<br />

someone who has been <strong>the</strong>re so long, but she knows both <strong>the</strong> area<br />

and <strong>the</strong> D.H.O very well and did a sterling job in her first few<br />

months. We wish her every success and I’m sure she will have <strong>the</strong><br />

support of all our club members next season.<br />

This was a good season for skiing, <strong>the</strong> only blight being <strong>the</strong> high<br />

winds which hit <strong>the</strong> area on many occasions. There was one time<br />

in mid-December when winds at Scheidegg were registered at over<br />

250 kph. This, of course, blew all <strong>the</strong> snow off <strong>the</strong> exposed<br />

areas, but <strong>the</strong> pistes were fine and remained so throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

season. Before and after Easter <strong>the</strong>re were wonderful spring snow<br />

conditions with lots of sunshine. I even skied from <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong><br />

Schilthorn to Lauterbrunnen on 30th March – well most of <strong>the</strong><br />

way!<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Ours is a very busy Club. Coggins and Eagles run by Bob<br />

Eastwood had more people this year than ever before, which is a<br />

credit to Bob and to <strong>the</strong> D.H.O. The Racing and Training report<br />

is worth reading as <strong>the</strong>y too had a busy and a most successful<br />

year. Their work, it is worth remembering, goes on all <strong>the</strong> year<br />

round. The Schoolboys and Schoolgirls again had large numbers,<br />

and here again <strong>the</strong> D.H.O involvement is most impressive. I went<br />

to Meiringen for a couple of days to see <strong>the</strong> British Schoolboys<br />

and to help award <strong>the</strong> prizes and saw that this is an impressive<br />

and well-supported event to which many of our UK schools send<br />

teams. Also this season, Liz Moore organised <strong>the</strong> International<br />

School Boys races in Wengen and also put toge<strong>the</strong>r four teams for<br />

<strong>the</strong> Kandahar inter-club races held in Murren, whose success you<br />

can read about in <strong>the</strong>ir report. In addition to all this we ran our<br />

own club races most weeks in Wengen.<br />

I must not forget to mention also <strong>the</strong> touring department of <strong>the</strong><br />

D.H.O. There was <strong>the</strong> usual club touring week run by John Rigby,<br />

but day touring unfortunately did not take place this year due<br />

to strong winds high up – <strong>the</strong> next week of course was perfect!<br />

On <strong>the</strong> subject of touring, I was saddened to hear that Johnny<br />

Webster, a member since 1953, died in April this year. Johnny<br />

was a great off-piste skier and tourer who had been coming to<br />

Wengen for many years with his wife, Ann. Many of us will recall<br />

great days out with him and o<strong>the</strong>r D.H.O members. His cheery<br />

personality will be greatly missed and our condolences go to his<br />

family.<br />

Lastly, The D.H.O goes from strength to strength and is well<br />

worth your support. I hope you will continue to give it, even if<br />

you are unable to visit Wengen for a few seasons. Support to us is<br />

also support to British skiing. Have a great summer and I hope to<br />

see you on <strong>the</strong> slopes next season.<br />

Coggins Report<br />

Bob Eastwood and Rachel Anderton<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Well what a fantastic season! We always had plenty of snow and, apart from a few days watching it blow away,<br />

some lovely wea<strong>the</strong>r. We also had a record number of Coggins and Eagles! The Coggins “stats” are 109 kids came<br />

for a total of 377 days which is a record during <strong>the</strong> past 12 seasons.<br />

They were looked after by a regular team of Bob, Rachel and<br />

Grace “I used to be a Coggin” McCutchen and various o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Swiss Ski School leaders. We had our last prize giving in <strong>the</strong> old<br />

hut before our new more glamorous events in <strong>the</strong> new “hut”.<br />

Every picture tells a story <strong>the</strong>y say and this year we have many<br />

very good photos so this year we would like to use our journal<br />

space to share a few of <strong>the</strong>m with you and show you all <strong>the</strong> fun<br />

we had.Want to join <strong>the</strong> show?<br />

Please, please, try to remember to tell us you when are coming<br />

and how many days you are likely to ski with Coggins. It makes it<br />

so much easier to get <strong>the</strong> right leaders to ensure an exciting weeks<br />

skiing. The first bookings have already been made for next half<br />

term and booking is now almost essential.<br />

If you are between 7 and 13 and have not been a Coggin yet -<br />

come and join us. Learn to ski fast, have fun and be safe on <strong>the</strong><br />

most beautiful mountains in <strong>the</strong> world (and learn <strong>the</strong>ir names<br />

as well). We welcome all 7 to 13 year olds who ski to “racing<br />

snowplough” standard and enjoy skiing with o<strong>the</strong>r English<br />

speaking kids. We are definitely not ski school but you will learn<br />

an awful lot about skiing faster and safer.<br />

It’s easy, just drop an email to: coggins@downhillonly.com.<br />

Or call Bob on 01524 78 11 54. During <strong>the</strong> winter call <strong>the</strong> hut<br />

between 17.00 and 18.00 GMT. Make sure of your place for <strong>the</strong><br />

next season and we’ll do <strong>the</strong> rest to give <strong>the</strong> Coggins a fantastic<br />

holiday <strong>the</strong>y’ll remember forever.<br />

We must thank Ercole Famiglietti of Wengen Ski School for<br />

managing to accommodate all our requests for instructors and<br />

for lending us race courses and equipment Thanks also to all <strong>the</strong><br />

parents who gave <strong>the</strong>ir time to help with races and of course to<br />

<strong>the</strong> people of Wengen who make it such a great place to ski.<br />

Lastly, we always plead with members to spread <strong>the</strong> word about<br />

Coggins, it really is unique, so that we can continue to train<br />

enthusiastic, fast and safe young skiers.<br />

See you on <strong>the</strong> snow!!<br />

Racing & Training Report<br />

Ingrid Christophersen<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

I am writing this in Dubrovnik Croatia, at <strong>the</strong> FIS calendar conference, part of my biannual swanning around some<br />

beautiful resort, mixing with <strong>the</strong> high and mighty in international skiing and pretending I am important! I love it.<br />

The FIS will never run a conference in Bradford – having now visited Dubrovnik I can see why.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong>re is a cloud on <strong>the</strong> horizon – this time I am selffunded<br />

– and 5 star hotels do not come cheap. Our National<br />

Federation, SnowsportGB has frittered away large sums of<br />

money, owing to incompetence at <strong>the</strong> highest level, and it is a<br />

miracle that it is still operating. Next season sees <strong>the</strong> Olympics in<br />

Vancouver and we are hanging in <strong>the</strong>re by a thread. I shall make<br />

a bee-line for <strong>the</strong> local Lotto shop when I return to <strong>the</strong> UK.<br />

The 2008/09 season was characterised by unusually large amounts<br />

of snow. In some resorts it snowed every day for two months and<br />

<strong>the</strong> World Cup circuit was able to operate thanks only to <strong>the</strong><br />

local army and large numbers of snow-cats. Expensive to say<br />

<strong>the</strong> least.<br />

The D.H.O too suffered from this abundance of snow. As <strong>the</strong> first<br />

club to take advantage of <strong>the</strong> dedicated speed skiing piste in Sella<br />

Nevea, (closed, netted runs and fixed time-keeping), five trainees<br />

decided to attend. The day before <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong> camp it started<br />

to snow, Sella Nevea was buried, as was <strong>the</strong> electricity supply and<br />

very nearly <strong>the</strong> Porter family who escaped an Eskimo experience<br />

owing to some hard digging and lots of luck.<br />

The rest of <strong>the</strong> season ran according to plan and <strong>the</strong> camps were<br />

well attended. We ran a full D.H.O programme – starting with<br />

summer training (raining), October, Christmas in Austria followed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> BARSC races, February in Bormio and Easter including <strong>the</strong><br />

Scottish and British Championships in Meribel .<br />

I try hard to make <strong>the</strong>se annual articles about <strong>the</strong> racing and<br />

training sound interesting to <strong>the</strong> average D.H.O member. Racing<br />

and Training IS interesting, it is full of hard work and sweat, a lot<br />

of adrenalin and fear overcome by courage (downhill and superg<br />

at <strong>the</strong> British senior championships), lots of fun, occasional<br />

heart ache and some triumph and that is as it should be – we are<br />

producing excellent skier and equally excellent future citizens.<br />

The British Championships in Meribel was <strong>the</strong> culmination of <strong>the</strong><br />

year and we all wanted to do well. British Championships; how<br />

many athletes – whatever <strong>the</strong>ir sport – get to compete in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

national Championships?<br />

The Juniors, or some of <strong>the</strong>m, were up at 5 every morning and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y raced a downhill, a super-g, giant-slalom, slalom, supercombi<br />

(which is a speed event, ei<strong>the</strong>r a downhill or a super-g,<br />

followed by a one-run slalom held on <strong>the</strong> same day) and a parallel.<br />

And this before <strong>the</strong>y even tackled <strong>the</strong> Scottish Championships.<br />

The Children had a slightly easier program, trained <strong>the</strong> first week,<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n raced a super-g, giant-slalom and slalom in <strong>the</strong> British<br />

Champs <strong>2009</strong> and a giant-slalom and a slalom in <strong>the</strong> Scottish.<br />

What fun, what adrenalin pumping and thrilling and heart<br />

breaking too, it all is. And what memories to cherish. Heaven is<br />

an eternal race course, on perfect snow, wearing bib no. 1.<br />

DOWNHILL ONLY JOURNAL <strong>2009</strong><br />

Racing Arrows Presentation<br />

Stefan, Katy, Xavier, Ingrid,<br />

Benedict, Michael & Harry<br />

Racing camps are not all about skiing and racing; we eat, sleep,<br />

wax and tune skis and simulate a wee bit of fi tness. We rejoice<br />

with those who have done well and commiserate with those<br />

whose skis came off, or straddled a gate or was disqualifi ed or<br />

was just plain unlucky. Ben Porter hit <strong>the</strong> snow at supersonic<br />

speed, taking a giant-slalom gate with him in <strong>the</strong> process, ended<br />

up in Moutiers Hospital and went home with a neck-brace.<br />

The moment I saw him on <strong>the</strong> trolley waiting to be seen by <strong>the</strong><br />

doctor he said: “I need to wax my skis for tomorrow’s race”.<br />

Normal D.H.O behaviour! Meal times are very social, <strong>the</strong> decibel<br />

level exceeds <strong>the</strong> scale and D.H.O parents who eat with us are<br />

tolerant to a degree. It is noisy, it is uncomfortable but it is<br />

wonderful; 30 trainees letting off steam, all talking at once and<br />

all telling his neighbour that, if it weren’t for that tiny straddle,<br />

or that patch of ice, he would have taken his rightful place on <strong>the</strong><br />

podium. And rightly so!<br />

The Children’s championships incorporate a parallel slalom. The<br />

D.H.O fi elded 5 teams each of 4 athletes – Stefan called <strong>the</strong>m<br />

Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Lauberhorn and Männlichen. How<br />

unfair that two of our teams met each o<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> quarter-fi nals.<br />

But how completely fair that we won <strong>the</strong> fi nals, in a nail-biting<br />

and noisy and cheering and totally domineering fi nal. It was like<br />

<strong>the</strong> Cup Final, Wimbledon and <strong>the</strong> Boat Race all rolled into one.<br />

The D.H.O rules supreme – for <strong>the</strong> time being anyhow!<br />

22<br />

Ingrid offi ciating at <strong>the</strong><br />

Icelandic Champs April <strong>2009</strong><br />

We are an alpine racing club, we are hard working and dedicated,<br />

but we are also hard playing and, oh what fun it all is.<br />

These Championships saw Alain Baxter’s swan song. He has been<br />

<strong>the</strong> best ambassador for British skiing and his fi nal run down <strong>the</strong><br />

slalom in a kilt, stopping off midway to down a glass of whiskey<br />

with all <strong>the</strong> British Team trainers and <strong>the</strong>n fi nishing <strong>the</strong> race and<br />

skiing through an arch of skis held aloft by his team mates was a<br />

fi tting, and quite sentimental, end to such an inspirational career.<br />

It is wonderful to think that our older trainees, those who no<br />

longer attend <strong>the</strong> camps, are now sitting ski teaching exams and<br />

return to us to rack up <strong>the</strong>ir compulsory hours. They ski for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

university or go and spend a gap year in <strong>the</strong> Alps. And above<br />

all, <strong>the</strong>y continue to keep in touch, to meet up, to email and to<br />

remain good friends. That speaks volumes for our club and our<br />

trainees.<br />

“It was like <strong>the</strong> Cup Final, Wimbledon<br />

and <strong>the</strong> Boat Race all rolled into one.<br />

The D.H.O rules supreme – for <strong>the</strong> time<br />

being anyhow!”

‘It’s a beautiful volume, and I am very impressed. The pictures are most<br />

interesting – several are new to me. I did not know it was possible to<br />

find photographs of so many of <strong>the</strong> early European skiers…And you<br />

certainly have a sharp pen – I was laughing out loud several times into<br />

<strong>the</strong> book. Again, thanks for <strong>the</strong> copy. I am honoured to be mentioned.’<br />

unbelievable that someone can research so far back about a sport<br />

nobody has written much about before. There is so much about skiing<br />

and ski jumping that I did not know…Tim you are a champion!’<br />

Karl Molitor, Wengen<br />

‘I might as well be honest with you. I did not think you could produce<br />

a book anything like as good. It is excellent.’<br />

Inge Christophersen<br />

‘I believe he is in that long and very great tradition of English and<br />

Scottish writers who, beginning with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and<br />

continuing with Somerville, Richardson and Arnold Lunn, have left for<br />

future generations enduring histories of <strong>the</strong> beginnings of skiing.’<br />

Ella Hartley GS<br />

British Schoolgirls’ Races <strong>2009</strong><br />

Sarah Robinson<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Flaine seems like an old friend <strong>the</strong>se days, having hosted <strong>the</strong> Schoolgirls’ Races for many years now and back <strong>the</strong>y<br />

were again on 26/27 January. The organisers arrived to find some terrible wea<strong>the</strong>r, rain on Friday with few lifts<br />

open and concern about <strong>the</strong> forecast for <strong>the</strong> following few days. But on Sunday, <strong>the</strong> first day for most of <strong>the</strong> girls,<br />

<strong>the</strong> sun came out and everyone had a wonderful time with plenty of fresh snow about for those who wanted to<br />

venture fur<strong>the</strong>r afield, away from <strong>the</strong> giant slalom and slalom training pistes on <strong>the</strong> Stade de Slalom.<br />

The D.H.O team this year comprised Pamela Johnston, Katy<br />

Peace and Phoebe Roth whilst <strong>the</strong> Bell twins, Hollie & Milla, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir younger sister, Tara, skied for King’s College Taunton. Also<br />

<strong>the</strong>re was Ella Hartley, <strong>the</strong> winner of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O non registered<br />

prize <strong>the</strong> previous year and now a D.H.O member, skiing for<br />

Bryanston, Sophie Kimmerling (Aiglon), Florence & Victoria Bell<br />

(King Edward VI Birmingham), Daisy & Violet Miller (Queen<br />

Margaret’s York), Samantha Baxter & Lucy Butchart (Vikings)<br />

and Lucy Maynard & Harriet Smith (Wycombe Abbey).<br />

The first race on Monday, <strong>the</strong> giant slalom, took place on <strong>the</strong><br />

fléche course in sunny wea<strong>the</strong>r much to <strong>the</strong> relief of everyone.<br />

It is always a popular race to start with as it gives <strong>the</strong> girls an<br />

opportunity to get some miles under <strong>the</strong>ir skis before <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

to tackle <strong>the</strong> slalom <strong>the</strong> following day. There was some terrific<br />

skiing with Emily Evans from Rochester Grammar winning ahead<br />

of many older girls. Both she and Mary Denning, who was skiing<br />

for Surbiton High’s A team, had only returned from <strong>the</strong> British<br />

Children’s Team races in <strong>the</strong> Czech Republic <strong>the</strong> night before.<br />

Stephanie Espinosa, skiing for Sandown Park, came in second<br />

with Emily’s older sister, Charlotte Evans, in third place.<br />

Emily was not only <strong>the</strong> overall winner but also <strong>the</strong> best in Children<br />

2 (13/14 year olds) with Violet second and Mary Denning in third<br />

place. Laetitia Hawkins Hooker (LEH) was first in Children 1<br />

(11/12 year olds) with Florence second and Annabel Wright from<br />

Heathfield St Mary’s third. Clementine Wood (St Mary’s Calne)<br />

was <strong>the</strong> best unregistered child (14 and under) and winner of a<br />

training week with <strong>the</strong> D.H.O, and Ingrid Christophersen was on<br />

hand to present <strong>the</strong> prize in person. Ella was <strong>the</strong> best unregistered<br />

junior (15 and above). Surbiton High’s A team was <strong>the</strong> best<br />

British school followed by <strong>the</strong> Miller twins’ Queen Margaret’s<br />

York and Rochester Grammar.<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r D.H.O girls, Ella was 13th, Katy 17th, Victoria 19th<br />

and Daisy 20th. The D.H.O team was disqualified because Katy<br />

was <strong>the</strong> only one of <strong>the</strong> three to finish. Florence & Victoria Bell’s<br />

team from King Edward VI were 15th whilst <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r Bells (no<br />

relation, very confusing all <strong>the</strong>se Bells!) from Taunton finished<br />

33rd.<br />

The parallel slalom, always <strong>the</strong> most fun of <strong>the</strong> three events,<br />

took place on <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> Stade after <strong>the</strong> finish of <strong>the</strong> giant<br />

slalom. There was plenty of cheering going on from <strong>the</strong> finish<br />

area and those in <strong>the</strong> finish hut had trouble hearing at times! The<br />

young girls from <strong>the</strong> Club des Sports in Flaine, <strong>the</strong> organiser of<br />

<strong>the</strong> races, and who had entered a team hors concours in <strong>the</strong> GS<br />

and slalom, took first place in a very close run final with Surbiton<br />

High’s A team. The Surbiton girls were thrilled to be dragged up<br />

<strong>the</strong> slope by skidoo, along with <strong>the</strong>ir coach Paul Telling, in order<br />

to compete in <strong>the</strong> final!<br />

On Tuesday <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r wasn’t as nice but at least <strong>the</strong>re was no<br />

snow nor, thank goodness, rain or wind. The slalom was moved<br />

back to <strong>the</strong> Stade because <strong>the</strong> powers that be decided to build<br />

large jumps in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> GS piste. The experienced racers<br />

love <strong>the</strong> Stade but for those who have done precious little racing<br />

it is extremely daunting and <strong>the</strong> whole slope can be seen from <strong>the</strong><br />

finish area. At one point <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r closed in so you couldn’t see<br />

<strong>the</strong> top from <strong>the</strong> finish, probably a good thing as far as some of<br />

<strong>the</strong> girls were concerned!<br />

This time <strong>the</strong> tables were turned and Charlotte Evans came in<br />

ahead of younger sister, Emily, in second place with Lottie Mayer<br />

of Queen’s Chester third. This was a great result, not only for<br />

Emily but also for Lottie as she is also in <strong>the</strong> children category and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y both beat many older girls. Emily and Lottie were first and<br />

second respectively in <strong>the</strong> Children 2 category with Rosamund<br />

Lees from <strong>the</strong> Samoens based College Andre Corbet third. Sophie<br />

Caldwell (Abbey Gate College) was first in Children 1 with<br />

Annabel Wright again featuring, this time in second place, and<br />

Charlotte Ashworth (Godstowe) third. Clementine Wood was <strong>the</strong><br />

best unregistered child while Lucy Lintott from Wellington took<br />

<strong>the</strong> junior title. Rochester Grammar was <strong>the</strong> best British school.<br />

This time it was Daisy who was <strong>the</strong> best of <strong>the</strong> <strong>DHO</strong> girls in 11th<br />

place with Pamela 15th, Katy 16th, Victoria 17th and Phoebe<br />

20th. This was a good result for <strong>the</strong> D.H.O with all three team<br />

26<br />

members in <strong>the</strong> top 20 and <strong>the</strong> team finished 5th overall ahead of<br />

Queen Margaret’s York in 6th.<br />

Emily Evans was <strong>the</strong> overall combined winner ahead of sister<br />

Charlotte and Rachel Wyld from Millfield. BASI (British<br />

Association of Snowsport Instructors) was <strong>the</strong> major sponsor of<br />

<strong>the</strong> races this year and very kindly gave a training course as a prize<br />

to each of <strong>the</strong> first three overall as well as <strong>the</strong> best unregistered<br />

junior, Ella Hartley. Emily was <strong>the</strong> winner of Children 2 with<br />

Lottie Mayer second and Alice MacAulay (Surbiton High) in<br />

third place. Sophie Caldwell came in first in Children 1 with <strong>the</strong><br />

consistent Annabel Wright second and Laetitia Hawkins Hooker<br />

third. Annabel was, not surprisingly, <strong>the</strong> best unregistered racer<br />

in Children 1 with Clementine Wood taking <strong>the</strong> Children 2 prize.<br />

Violet, Daisy, Katy and Victoria were 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th<br />

overall respectively. Ella was <strong>the</strong> only o<strong>the</strong>r one in <strong>the</strong> top 20 in<br />

20th place.<br />

The team event is always keenly fought and <strong>the</strong> team spirit is<br />

<strong>the</strong>re for all to see. Rochester Grammar came in as <strong>the</strong> best British<br />

based school and <strong>the</strong> best team overall. A wonderful achievement<br />

as <strong>the</strong> third member of <strong>the</strong>ir team was unable to complete so <strong>the</strong><br />

two remaining girls had to finish both events without mishap.<br />

Queen Margaret’s York was second British school and third best<br />

team overall while Sheffield High was third school. The <strong>DHO</strong> did<br />

not qualify due to <strong>the</strong>ir disqualification in <strong>the</strong> giant slalom but<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bells from Birmingham were 15th and <strong>the</strong> Bells from Taunton<br />

24th.<br />

As well as <strong>the</strong> D.H.O, BASI, and Kandahar, <strong>the</strong> races were<br />

sponsored by MPI insurance brokers, Mind The Gap Year, Base<br />

Camp Group – who gave many hoodies as prizes, <strong>the</strong> Ski Club of<br />

Great Britain, Snow+Rock – who gave some good prizes, Meritz<br />

– who produced <strong>the</strong> T-shirts for <strong>the</strong> participants, Filarinskis<br />

– who donated vouchers and Atomic. For full results go to www.<br />

British Schoolboys Championships<br />

Richard Berry & Sam Shnaps<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Meiringen is a safe haven for <strong>the</strong> British Schoolboys Races, history is all around us with Conan Doyle Square,<br />

Conan Doyle Museum and various o<strong>the</strong>r buildings and roads named for <strong>the</strong> famous author. The Reichenbach Falls<br />

where Sherlock Holmes met his ‘death’ are nearby.<br />

The race team had <strong>the</strong>ir headquarters in Reuti at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong><br />

Meiringen cable car in <strong>the</strong> Hotel Viktoria, this is a truly English<br />

preserve where all <strong>the</strong> locals speak excellent English. British<br />

skiing has passed Meiringen by for many years and now <strong>the</strong>y<br />

want us to return. This is great news as <strong>the</strong> Schoolboys Race<br />

has been without a home throughout its existence and many<br />

cannot understand why. This race has now come into its own<br />

and is driven by <strong>the</strong> schools that want to take part. We have <strong>the</strong><br />

occasional troubles but <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me is now distinctly entrenched. It<br />

is a formula that has evolved because, as organisers, we want to<br />

provide what <strong>the</strong> racers and parents want.<br />

The longer we stay in a resort <strong>the</strong> more difficult it is to retain<br />

<strong>the</strong> same arrangement we made <strong>the</strong> first year. This can be<br />

attributed to one area, <strong>the</strong> hotels and <strong>the</strong> local hotel association.<br />

Unfortunately Wengen is not a natural race venue for us, <strong>the</strong><br />

Lauberhorn, although famous for its downhill, does not have a<br />

convenient finish area for slalom and giant slalom, but we had<br />

to put up with that during <strong>the</strong> two years we ran races <strong>the</strong>re.<br />

Once again attempts to arrange <strong>the</strong> accommodation in Wengen<br />

collapsed. If <strong>the</strong> club wishes <strong>the</strong> race to return to Wengen we<br />

need a more concentrated effort to bring influence to bear on <strong>the</strong><br />

hotels and hotel association.<br />

The <strong>2009</strong> event was <strong>the</strong> tenth British Schoolboys Championships<br />

and was a celebratory occasion. Whilst particular schools and<br />

individuals are named below for <strong>the</strong>ir outstanding achievements,<br />

all competitors, trainers and supporters should be commended<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir focus, dedication and good old fashioned team spirit<br />

which served to bring about <strong>the</strong> best atmosphere <strong>the</strong> event has<br />

ever had. Any attempt to list all <strong>the</strong> competitors and race results<br />

would probably require space enough to cover <strong>the</strong> school leaguetable<br />

in a national broadsheet newspaper.<br />

Everyone was most grateful to have Max Davies, President of<br />

<strong>the</strong> D.H.O with us for <strong>the</strong> races and prize giving. The D.H.O’s<br />

support of <strong>the</strong> race cannot and should not be underestimated.<br />

It is only with <strong>the</strong> forward thinking and (dare I say it) down hill<br />

only culture that <strong>the</strong>y are able to provide <strong>the</strong> infrastructure to<br />

create <strong>the</strong> backbone to what is a fantastic and truly important<br />

sporting event in <strong>the</strong> scholastic calendar year. Also BASI. What<br />

incredible educational gifts of support <strong>the</strong>y provided a few lucky<br />

winners.<br />

Being able to ski is one thing, being able to teach is a whole<br />

different story. By sending Rosalind McDonald to <strong>the</strong> race, BASI<br />

added that little extra ‘VaVaVoom’ to <strong>the</strong> prize giving. No matter<br />

what <strong>the</strong> monetary value of <strong>the</strong> prizes, George Harris (Reed’s),<br />

Rob Cross (Abbey Gate College), Ian Williams (Cowbridge) and<br />

Edward Reynolds (Glenalmond) can deal be safe in <strong>the</strong> knowledge<br />

that <strong>the</strong>y know what <strong>the</strong>y’re talking about when it comes to a<br />

stem turn and its application. BASI – thank you, long may this<br />

tradition continue.<br />

The snow conditions were perfect for <strong>the</strong> race. There was more<br />

than enough and after <strong>the</strong> first slalom had been set at “stupid<br />

o’clock”, <strong>the</strong> organisers knew we were in for a great few days.<br />

Reeds and Millfield, who have produced teams since <strong>the</strong> first<br />

championships in 1999, continued to scream past <strong>the</strong> Tag Heuer<br />

timing device in such a way that you’d think <strong>the</strong>y spent <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

summers training in South America! Be that as it may, St Paul’s,<br />

Bedford Modern and of course <strong>the</strong> happy bunch from Dulwich<br />

did very well this year as in previous championships.<br />

The Sunday Times Cup for best British School team was won by<br />

Reed’s, with Tonbridge and St Paul’s close behind. The SnOasis<br />

Cup for best British based Children’s school team was won by<br />

Dulwich, with Gayhurst 2nd and Dulwich’s 2nd team in third<br />

place overall.<br />

Thanks, gratitude and a slap on <strong>the</strong> back are due to many people,<br />

especially our friendly Meiringen mountain man Christian, AKA<br />

Bergfuhrer Chrigel Willi and his team. Accommodating and<br />

willing, <strong>the</strong>y made <strong>the</strong> course setting and <strong>the</strong> whole behind-<strong>the</strong>scenes<br />

run smoothly. Once again Christine Flueck greased <strong>the</strong><br />

cogs and sprinkled her bit of magic at <strong>the</strong> Tourist Office, allowing<br />

160 or so British kids to turn up in <strong>the</strong>ir town and hurl <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

down <strong>the</strong>ir slopes. The British Association of Snowsport<br />

Instructors were our joint sponsors with SnOasis and Base Camp<br />

(Top row) D.H.O Ladies Team; Vicky Tampin, Alexandra Moore, Grace McCutcheon and Mary Day<br />

Amateur Inter-Club Championships<br />

Liz Moore<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Having competed in <strong>the</strong> first event in 2008 I offered to put toge<strong>the</strong>r teams for <strong>the</strong> D.H.O for this year’s competition<br />

which was held in Mürren between March 13th and 15th.<br />

Remembering that <strong>the</strong> first competition had some serious racers<br />

taking part, I believed if we drew on some of our ex-racers<br />

for <strong>the</strong> Junior Teams and if we ‘oldies’ could stay fit and have<br />

a little race training, we might stand a chance of putting <strong>the</strong><br />

D.H.O on top where it should be! I had enormous fun putting<br />

<strong>the</strong> teams toge<strong>the</strong>r and it took me back to all those happy years<br />

when my children were involved with Racing and Training<br />

under <strong>the</strong> expert guidance of Ingie.<br />

Some of <strong>the</strong> older generation had a couple of day’s race training<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Lauberhorn ace course under <strong>the</strong> expert (if not amused)<br />

guidance of Christian Bühler of <strong>the</strong> Wengen Ski School. It’s<br />

all very well going straight and as fast as you can as in <strong>the</strong><br />

Macmillan Cup Race but going through gates is a whole new<br />

story! It certainly focused <strong>the</strong> mind and made us all understand<br />

a little more about ‘attacking <strong>the</strong> course’ and ‘inspecting’ before<br />

a race! We finally had <strong>the</strong> following five teams:<br />

D.H.O 1: Men (under 45):<br />

Leo Flindall, Webb Seymour, Chris Hoyle, Marcus Zumbühl.<br />

D.H.O 2: Men (under 45):<br />

Karl Ungar, Dan Crouch, Mark Gassmann, Johnny Moore.<br />

D.H.O Women (under 45):<br />

Vicky Tampin, Grace McCutcheon, Mary Day, Alexandra Moore.<br />

D.H.O Women (over 45):<br />

Sally Ireland, Maureen Fanshaw, Sheridan Killwick, Liz Moore.<br />

D.H.O Men (over 45):<br />

Richard Hackett, Richard Gassmann, Martin West and<br />

John Pailthorpe.<br />

Race Results:<br />

D.H.O women under 45:<br />

1st of 4 teams (noting that two of <strong>the</strong> teams joined toge<strong>the</strong>r)<br />

D.H.O Men 2:<br />

2nd of 9 teams<br />

D.H.O Men 1:<br />

7th overall<br />

D.H.O Ladies over 45:<br />

2nd of 4 teams<br />

D.H.O Men over 45:<br />

6th of 7 teams<br />

All <strong>the</strong> results are available in more detail at www.kandahar.<br />

org.uk and you will also note how close <strong>the</strong> D.H.O 2 under<br />

45 team were to being 1st! All <strong>the</strong> young in our teams had not<br />

raced for several years but some excellent training stood <strong>the</strong>m<br />

in good stead.<br />

There was also a fiercely competitive ‘Fun Parallel Slalom’<br />

which carried no team points but was never<strong>the</strong>less taken quite<br />

seriously! The D.H.O 2 boys were just pipped at <strong>the</strong> post by <strong>the</strong><br />

Lauterbrunnen young men for first place!<br />

Kandahar once again did a superb job organising and running<br />

<strong>the</strong> races on Winteregg in Mürren. We had marvellous wea<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

a very friendly competition and a lot of fun. We hope this race<br />

will continue in <strong>the</strong> same manner for many years to come.<br />

D.H.O Mens Team; Johnny Moore, Dan Crouch, Mark Grassmann and Karl Ungar<br />

In 2010, <strong>the</strong> SCI Club 18 from Cortona in Italy will host <strong>the</strong><br />

race over <strong>the</strong> weekend of March 6th/7th. We hope to take at<br />

least 5 teams again if not more! Please contact me, Liz Moore,<br />

at liblabmoore@yahoo.co.uk if you would like to participate<br />

and also do a little fun race training <strong>the</strong> week before <strong>the</strong> event.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> moment, we are allowed to take as many teams as we<br />

like so <strong>the</strong> more <strong>the</strong> merrier!<br />

Last, I would like to mention how lucky we were to have Marcus<br />

Zumühl from Alpia Sports , Richard and Mark Gassmann from<br />

<strong>the</strong> firm Gassmann Haustechnik in Wengen in our teams. When<br />

asked if <strong>the</strong>y would like to race for D.H.O all of <strong>the</strong>m replied<br />

D.H.O Senior Ladies Team (bottom row, right); Liz Moore, Sheridan Killwick and Sally Ireland<br />

that, although <strong>the</strong>y would be delighted to, it was a long time<br />

(if ever) <strong>the</strong>y had done any racing. Well <strong>the</strong>ir excellent results<br />

showed <strong>the</strong>y certainly had not forgotten <strong>the</strong>ir technique!<br />

A particular thanks to <strong>the</strong>m and it was such a privilege to have<br />

some locals from <strong>the</strong> village participating in <strong>the</strong> race.<br />

Once again, many, many thanks to all those who participated<br />

and especially those young who came along just for <strong>the</strong> weekend.<br />

I very much look forward to seeing all of you again next year in<br />

Italy, perhaps in cat suits but definitely in fur hats for <strong>the</strong> girls<br />

- Italian style!! (see <strong>the</strong> prize giving photographs)

D.H.O Spring Tour <strong>2009</strong><br />

Jane McCormick<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Drawn by our love of skis and <strong>the</strong> mountains, <strong>the</strong> D.H.O Spring Tour Group comprising Annabel Cameron, Ian<br />

Carmichael, Trish Dale, Phil Gepfert, Sally Ireland, Sue Jacoby, Jane & Ian McCormick, Clive Mitchell, John Rigby<br />

and John Wright, , , , and Ian Murray (for just two days), toge<strong>the</strong>r with our guide Adolph Schlunegger and aidede-camp<br />

Rene Seiler, ga<strong>the</strong>red at Gsteig on Saturday 21st March.<br />

We stayed in a charming chalet style hotel with ra<strong>the</strong>r small<br />

rooms and enjoyed <strong>the</strong>ir speciality Raclette <strong>the</strong> first evening,<br />

although it did sit ra<strong>the</strong>r heavily on our travelling tums.<br />

Unfortunately, we were without Annabel for a few days as her<br />

son broke his arm just as she was leaving, and Ian Carmichael’s<br />

skis which he had left in Gstaad..<br />

Sunday<br />

Breakfast at 8.00am while Adolph went off to Gstaad to rescue<br />

Ian’s skis. We set off in convoy to Diablerets where we took a<br />

telecabine,T bar and poma to Isenau. Two very icy runs on <strong>the</strong><br />

piste to get our ski legs and <strong>the</strong>n “Off Piste”. Adolph found<br />

some beautiful pieces of powder despite <strong>the</strong> snow conditions<br />

elsewhere. We had lunch in <strong>the</strong> sun by an old cowshed and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n on with <strong>the</strong> skins. A 1½ hour walk up following Adolph,<br />

who cut our first and last “Paddy Hollington corner” at one<br />

nasty point. We arrived at Stuedelistand, had a tea break and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n skied down finding more powder. Rene, distracted by Ian<br />

McC’s cry of “ptarmigan” (as he near skied over a brace), fell<br />

and injured his shoulder quite badly but bravely skied on. We<br />

had a long run out on a path leading to a final icy road. John<br />

Rigby’s hips held out and Sally, Sue and Jane’s knees survived.<br />

That evening, <strong>the</strong> hotel gave us a delicious dinner overseen by an<br />

over-enthusiastic (with <strong>the</strong> wine) waiter and his small, pompous<br />

miniature poodle who sat in a shopping basket. Exhausted by<br />

this gastronomic effort <strong>the</strong> hotel staff promptly went on holiday<br />

for 2 days, leaving us <strong>the</strong> back-door keys and instructions to go<br />

to <strong>the</strong> hotel down <strong>the</strong> road for our meals.<br />

Monday<br />

Trekked down <strong>the</strong> road for breakfast at 7.30 am. Storm<br />

warnings so Adolph cancelled previous plans. At 8.30 we set off<br />

for Reusch and by lifts various reached Sex Rouge that failed<br />

to live up to it’s name! We had a couple of runs on a T-bar<br />

with horrid snow and poor visibility. We <strong>the</strong>n skied onto <strong>the</strong><br />

glacier and put on our skins cautiously, aware of <strong>the</strong> potential<br />

crevasses under our feet. We climbed, aiming to reach <strong>the</strong> peak<br />

of Diablarets, but stopped some 150 metres short as visibility<br />

was closing in.<br />

We lunched behind some rocks and built a D.H.O cairn at<br />

3080m. Skied down over crusted wind-ridged snow with that<br />

horrid feeling you aren’t moving because of <strong>the</strong> fog effect. Back<br />

onto <strong>the</strong> piste and <strong>the</strong>n up to <strong>the</strong> restaurant by <strong>the</strong> impressive<br />

Devil’s Skittle Rock where we revived ourselves with glüwein<br />

and chough feeding before skiing down a long run to <strong>the</strong><br />

cablecar restaurant. Phil disappeared off to make an important<br />

property deal and Jane disappeared feeling seasick, whilst <strong>the</strong><br />

rest went back up for two more fast runs (keeping well in front<br />

of a pack snowboarders), <strong>the</strong>n more drinks and home. Trekked<br />

down <strong>the</strong> road again through a few snowflakes for a warm<br />

Swiss welcome and an excellent dinner at our locum eatery.<br />

Tuesday<br />

Woke early to <strong>the</strong> sound of snow ploughs! We had <strong>the</strong> most<br />

magical day. It had snowed and snowed in <strong>the</strong> night - 50 cms<br />

of new snow! After breakfast we donned our skins in <strong>the</strong> car<br />

park of <strong>the</strong> nearby Victoria Hotel and walked up through <strong>the</strong><br />

snow laden trees for 2 hours to Adolph and Vreni’s family<br />

summer chalet. Adolph went ahead for <strong>the</strong> last 150 yds and by<br />

<strong>the</strong> time we arrived, <strong>the</strong> shutters were open and a welcome fire<br />

was blazing. We ate our sandwiches, washed down by wine<br />

and schnapps. We <strong>the</strong>n climbed for a fur<strong>the</strong>r hour to <strong>the</strong> peak<br />

of Walighurli 2,100 m, before skiing down in glorious powder<br />

through <strong>the</strong> trees, with intermittent snow and some sun. Even<br />

Adolf fell once, blinded by snow going over his head as he<br />

turned.<br />

Afterwards Adolph and Vreni invited us for particularly<br />

delicious local wine and cheese at <strong>the</strong>ir home and Adolph<br />

showed us some film of his work in Kyrgizstan, teaching <strong>the</strong><br />

locals to be mountain guides. The equipment, especially <strong>the</strong><br />

lifts looked very uncomfortable!<br />

Wednesday<br />

We were to travel early to our next location on <strong>the</strong> Gemmi<br />

Pass up from Leukerbad in <strong>the</strong> Rhone Valley, but changed plans<br />

due to poor visibility <strong>the</strong>re. We drove from <strong>the</strong> village up <strong>the</strong><br />

mountainside on a farm track as far as we could before getting<br />

stuck. We <strong>the</strong>n climbed for 2 hours to Wallize Wispile 1,900m,<br />

taking what Adolph called a Paddy Hollington “P and Tea” stop<br />

en route. Some of <strong>the</strong> granite outcrops were quite interesting to<br />

negotiate. Skied down through trees and new snow and back to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Hotel in time to pay bills etc.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> afternoon we drove to Leukerbad in convoy. We <strong>the</strong>n<br />

took an ancient (1957) mini cable car rising some 3,000ft to <strong>the</strong><br />

Gemmi Pass Hotel. This felt like being between <strong>the</strong> pages of<br />

Alistair McClean’s “Where Eagles Dare” as <strong>the</strong> wind rocked us<br />

from side to side in <strong>the</strong> cable car and we <strong>the</strong>n dragged our cases<br />

through a tunnel hewn out of <strong>the</strong> rock. Walking through glass<br />

doors, we were transported to something more like a set on a<br />

James Bond film. An amazing hexagonal building perched on<br />

38<br />

a ledge facing South West, with apparently vertiginous views to<br />

Leukerbad (pity about <strong>the</strong> storm, we couldn’t see a thing) and<br />

gentler slopes to <strong>the</strong> North down to Daubensee and beyond<br />

to <strong>the</strong> lifts from Kandersteg. We were <strong>the</strong> only guests and<br />

caretakers Patrice and Danielle looked after us beautifully.<br />

Thursday<br />

The storm had continued through <strong>the</strong> night, and still no<br />

visibility, so we took <strong>the</strong> cable car down to Leukerbad, drove<br />

to <strong>the</strong> Torrenthorn area nearby and took <strong>the</strong> telecabine up.<br />

Skies cleared and with hardly a person around, except for <strong>the</strong><br />

Swiss Ski Team, we were able to enjoy 70cms of powder in <strong>the</strong><br />

open and through <strong>the</strong> trees. We were split into two groups<br />

and, after some ski technique lessons and stretching exercises<br />

(that exposed a few deficiencies amongst those who thought<br />

<strong>the</strong>y knew better!) we were let loose: Rene’s group sent on <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

way with <strong>the</strong> cry of “just do it”. Jane and Ian both did a bit of<br />

tree hugging (though not toge<strong>the</strong>r) and Trish’s buried skis took<br />

some finding and cost her a few beers later. Lunch in <strong>the</strong> palatial<br />

lift restaurant and afterwards we went even higher when some<br />

T-bars opened. A remarkable day of off piste skiing. Back up to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Gemmi where we saw some bearded eagles and had ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

excellent meal and more film of our exploits.<br />

Friday<br />

Breakfast at 7.30am and left Hotel at 8.00. Poor visibility but<br />

less wind. Skied part way down to Lake Daubensee, <strong>the</strong>n, as we<br />

climbed for 1½ hours up <strong>the</strong> Lammeran, <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r began to<br />

clear and we could see some peaks. The climb was abbreviated<br />

owing to avalanche danger. We skied down in increasingly<br />

heavy powder to <strong>the</strong> lake, skinned back along it and climbed<br />

back up to <strong>the</strong> Hotel, to see for <strong>the</strong> first time <strong>the</strong> panorama<br />

of <strong>the</strong> mountain tops, from <strong>the</strong> gleaming Dent Blanche to that<br />

evocative mountain <strong>the</strong> Matterhorn in <strong>the</strong> distance. Lunch in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Hotel and down in <strong>the</strong> 1.30pm bucket. Ian McCormick<br />

succeeded in leaving his ski behind, which slightly delayed our<br />

departure (after much hugging and kissing and “see you next<br />

year”) from a most memorable tour which was so imaginatively<br />

arranged and executed by Adolph, aided and abetted by Rene.<br />

Trish Dale<br />

D.H.O Walking Week 2008<br />

Michael Oliver<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Until September 2008 I had only ever visited Wengen in <strong>the</strong> winter and was looking forward to seeing it verdant<br />

and green. However, when I arrived it was raining, misty, and <strong>the</strong>re was a sprinkling of snow on <strong>the</strong> trees not much<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r up <strong>the</strong> mountain! Fortunately that was as bad as it got and <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r improved throughout <strong>the</strong> week.<br />

There were twelve of us booked into <strong>the</strong> Sunstar and we were<br />

joined on most days by o<strong>the</strong>r club members who had <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />

places in <strong>the</strong> village. On <strong>the</strong> Monday twenty-two of us met for<br />

lunch in <strong>the</strong> Männlichen restaurant!<br />

The week started with a relatively easy walk on <strong>the</strong> Sunday. In<br />

a very fine drizzle, and with poor visibility, we walked down to<br />

Lauterbrunnen which had <strong>the</strong> benefit of being below <strong>the</strong> clouds!<br />

After a leisurely coffee we followed <strong>the</strong> road up to Isenfluh,<br />

where we had an even more leisurely lunch, before carrying on<br />

up to Grütschalp. There were several viewing points on <strong>the</strong><br />

way but unfortunately no views! From <strong>the</strong>re it was back to<br />

Wengen by cablecar and train.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> Tuesday several of us did two walks, ei<strong>the</strong>r side of<br />

<strong>the</strong> “walking <strong>the</strong> cows” ceremony. This is when some of<br />

<strong>the</strong> villagers dress in traditional costume and walk <strong>the</strong> cows<br />

down to Lauterbrunnen for <strong>the</strong> winter. The cows <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

were decorated with flowers and huge bells and it was quite a<br />

spectacle, though I suspect it is put on mainly for <strong>the</strong> benefit<br />

of a handful of tourists. One cow broke ranks and tried to go<br />

into <strong>the</strong> Co-op – she must have heard about <strong>the</strong> special offer on<br />

<strong>the</strong> moosli!<br />

After this we had a picnic lunch on <strong>the</strong> train to Eigergletscher<br />

and followed <strong>the</strong> Eiger trail down to Alpiglen. The conditions<br />

made this a dramatic walk, with quite deep snow in places and<br />

<strong>the</strong> famous north face appearing and disappearing in <strong>the</strong> clouds.<br />

We also saw a spectacular waterfall, a taster for those in <strong>the</strong><br />

group that went to <strong>the</strong> Trümmelbach Falls <strong>the</strong> following day.<br />

If I thought Tuesday was good, which I certainly did, Wednesday<br />

was even better and undoubtedly <strong>the</strong> highlight of my week.<br />

Trusting <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r forecast which said it was going to be a<br />

bright sunny day five of us met for breakfast at 7.00am before<br />

catching an early train down to Wilderswil. From <strong>the</strong>re we<br />

took a quaint old mountain train up to Schynige Platte, a place<br />

that had completely passed me by until this week. We were<br />

going to walk to First, and knew from <strong>the</strong> signs at Schynige<br />

Platte that we had to reach <strong>the</strong>re by 5.00pm, when <strong>the</strong> last<br />

bubble descended. This gave us more than seven hours, which<br />

proved to be ample.<br />

The forecast was correct and it wasn’t long before we stripped<br />

down to short-sleeved shirts and shorts for <strong>the</strong> first time in<br />

<strong>the</strong> week. The first part of <strong>the</strong> walk was in alpine meadow,<br />

with great views of Interlaken and Lake Brienz. We also got<br />

an outstanding view of <strong>the</strong> Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau soon<br />

after. The terrain became quite rocky for a while before we<br />

started our ascent of <strong>the</strong> Faulhorn. While not particularly<br />

steep this was long, and made more difficult by <strong>the</strong> amount<br />

of snow on <strong>the</strong> ground. Still, once we’d made it, it was more<br />

or less downhill all <strong>the</strong> way to First. We dropped below <strong>the</strong><br />

snowline, walked along <strong>the</strong> edge of two lakes and saw (and<br />

heard!) marmots gambolling in <strong>the</strong> meadows before eventually<br />

reaching <strong>the</strong> bubble lift. A fantastic day, with a huge variety of<br />

scenery and plenty of marvellous views. And <strong>the</strong> company was<br />

great as well!<br />

As usual in Wengen <strong>the</strong> social life was busy. On <strong>the</strong> Wednesday<br />

Roger and Sarah Hoyle gave a drinks party and on Thursday<br />

<strong>the</strong> D.H.O invited many friends from <strong>the</strong> village to a social<br />

evening in <strong>the</strong> hut. On Friday Suzi Fuchs invited us to her<br />

apartment for a few glasses of wine after she had led a walk<br />

from Gimmelwald to Chilchbalm and back down to Stechelberg<br />

for a late lunch. This walk was interrupted for a few minutes<br />

to let a herd of pigs come past on a narrow forest track! In<br />

addition to <strong>the</strong> organised affairs some of us felt that it was our<br />

duty to ensure that Jeremy’s ownership of Rocks bar would be<br />

a successful one!<br />

My “easy” day was Thursday, when Martin and I walked<br />

up <strong>the</strong> Männlichen. Somehow we managed to take a wrong<br />

turning on <strong>the</strong> way up, but this meant that we saw a tree being<br />

felled at fairly close proximity. Close enough to make us run<br />

when it hit <strong>the</strong> ground anyway! The route we took was short<br />

and steep so we stopped regularly “to admire <strong>the</strong> views”. We<br />

also walked through <strong>the</strong> avalanche prevention barriers, which<br />

are much bigger than <strong>the</strong>y appear from <strong>the</strong> cablecar. We were<br />

back down by early afternoon and helped get <strong>the</strong> hut ready for<br />

<strong>the</strong> evening.<br />

This holiday seems to be an annual event now, and I can<br />

thoroughly recommend it. The atmosphere is very relaxed<br />

and no-one is put under any pressure to do anything that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

don’t want to. On most days we didn’t decide what walk we<br />

would do until that morning’s breakfast and <strong>the</strong>re were usually<br />

at least two groups doing different things each day. The routes<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves were well signposted and easy to follow – easier<br />

than <strong>the</strong> maps in my opinion! I’ll definitely be back for more,<br />

and may even get to go up to Jungfraujoch next time.<br />

A Fitting Farewell<br />

Norman Freund<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

It has become a sort of tradition for D.H.O members to sit down at dinner in <strong>the</strong> Bären Hotel dining room after <strong>the</strong><br />

MacMillan Day prize giving. This year, <strong>the</strong> attendance at <strong>the</strong> dinner packed <strong>the</strong> dining room as never before. The<br />

occasion was a demonstration of D.H.O members’ appreciation of <strong>the</strong> work done by Paul and Maree Zvegintzov<br />

during Paul’s many years as Wengen Secretary.<br />

President Max Davies delivered <strong>the</strong> main speech and<br />

presentations. He emphasised how much <strong>the</strong> Club had grown<br />

during Paul’s tenure and, as a result, <strong>the</strong> huge number of people<br />

Paul and Maree had shown around <strong>the</strong> mountains. He pointed<br />

out that Paul had from <strong>the</strong> outset made <strong>the</strong> case for <strong>the</strong> D.H.O<br />

finding its own, more spacious premises, and that it was so<br />

fitting that Paul and Maree were <strong>the</strong>re to see this ambition<br />

fulfilled before <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong>ir tenure. The presentations<br />

included a cheque to which so many members had contributed,<br />

and a large, colourful cuckoo clock which (mercifully), can be<br />

switched off at night.<br />

Paul thanked everyone for a fine dinner and send-off, along<br />

with <strong>the</strong> presentations. He promised that Wengen and <strong>the</strong><br />

D.H.O had not seen <strong>the</strong> last of him and Maree.<br />

Paul’s successor, Sheridan Killwick, expressed her appreciation<br />

for <strong>the</strong> welcome Paul and Maree had given her and for <strong>the</strong><br />

smooth handover.<br />

Like all occasions of this sort, <strong>the</strong> evening was an act of<br />

celebration tinged with <strong>the</strong> inevitable sadness of saying “au<br />

revoir”, certainly not farewell, to someone who had become a<br />

friend of everyone in that crowded dining room.<br />

John Webster (1927 – <strong>2009</strong>):<br />

Obituaries<br />

Johnnie and his sisters were brought up in some style in Sheffield with a Rolls-Royce<br />

in <strong>the</strong> garage and a liveried chauffeur. At <strong>the</strong> age of ten he was sent to school at<br />

Chateau d’Oeux for his health and to learn French. It was <strong>the</strong>re that he learned to<br />

ski.<br />

The WW2 years and immediately after were taken up with Repton and National<br />

Service followed by a short spell in his fa<strong>the</strong>rs business which, as Johnnie was<br />

an outdoor person, was not a success. He wanted to farm and, after a period in<br />

Herefordshire, in 1952 he purchased his own farm at Westwood in Nottinghamshire.<br />

In 1954 he married Anne and before long <strong>the</strong>ir three daughters, Valerie, Libby and<br />

Caroline arrived.<br />

He joined <strong>the</strong> D.H.O in 1953 and served on <strong>the</strong> Committee for many years, regularly<br />

going to London for meetings. He would spend five to six weeks as a rep in Wengen,<br />

skiing with members during <strong>the</strong> day and indeed, no one knew all <strong>the</strong> possible – and<br />

nearly impossible – ways through <strong>the</strong> woods of <strong>the</strong> Wengen mountains better than<br />

Johnnie. This was real cross country stuff, going over streams and fences, and not<br />

for <strong>the</strong> faint hearted! He would find spring snow on <strong>the</strong> Männlichen in <strong>the</strong> morning,<br />

moving round to <strong>the</strong> Lauberhorn to catch <strong>the</strong> good slopes for as long as <strong>the</strong> snow<br />

lasted. In 1994 he was awarded <strong>the</strong> clubs Gold Badge and a look at <strong>the</strong> D.H.O prizes<br />

dotted around ‘Westwood’ testified to Johnnie’s skiing prowess and youthful turn of<br />

speed. Even aged 80 he was still game for <strong>the</strong> odd club race.<br />

However, his real love was for off-piste and ski-touring which he ran for <strong>the</strong> club<br />

for many years He organised some wonderful ski tours both around Wengen and<br />

in many o<strong>the</strong>r parts of Switzerland, France and Italy. If you look at <strong>the</strong> maps, <strong>the</strong>re<br />

aren’t many places that Johnnie didn’t cover. In 1987, he climbed Mont Blanc with<br />

a group of D.H.O friends guided by Adolf Schlunegger He was a robust and reliable<br />

tourer who got on well with <strong>the</strong> guides. When he took a tumble, it tended to be a<br />

‘heart-stopper’ as when he fell on <strong>the</strong> front of <strong>the</strong> Wetterlücke causing guide Freddie<br />

Fuchs almost to have apoplexy!<br />

Johnnie was immensely competitive, with a great sense of fun whe<strong>the</strong>r driving a<br />

fairground bumper car before a ski tour or racing a skidoo at highly illegal speeds<br />

across Yellowstone National Park during a warm-up prior to a week’s heli-skiing. At<br />

60, he tried snowboarding and hang-gliding in case he was missing something.<br />

Sadly, various age-related ailments conspired to slow Johnnie down. The hip flasks<br />

became champagne breaks, but <strong>the</strong> fun and enthusiasm remained At home he kept a<br />

small herd of Highland cattle which stayed with him until his final move to Retford.<br />

They added a touch of class to his establishment and definate class to Anne’s dining<br />

table. Johnnie was a life-long much liked and respected Freemason, as shown by <strong>the</strong><br />

number at his memorial service.<br />

Lastly, Johnnie did so much for <strong>the</strong> D.H.O and left behind very many friends. His<br />

wish was that his ashes be scattered over his beloved Bernese Oberland.<br />

SAE and VG<br />

Champagne at Männlichen circa<br />

mid nineties<br />

David Stewart Clarabut D.S.C. ( 1923 - <strong>2009</strong>):<br />

David died on Tuesday 6th January peacefully at home with his family. He led a full<br />

life that included being awarded <strong>the</strong> DSC in 1944 for his war efforts which included<br />

<strong>the</strong> famous strike on <strong>the</strong> German battleship “Tirpitz”.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> war David joined <strong>the</strong> local family firm “London and Rochester Trading<br />

Company” and eventually in 1980 became Chief Executive of Hays Group. He had<br />

many o<strong>the</strong>r City interests including being Master of <strong>the</strong> Worshipful Company of<br />

Watermen and Lightermen in 1972 and Prime Warden of <strong>the</strong> Worshipful Company<br />

of Shipwrights in 1982.<br />

David had interests in many o<strong>the</strong>r sports, but his main loves were skiing and yacht<br />

racing and he became a member of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O in 1956. With his wife Deirdre and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir five children David made over 30 visits to Wengen always staying in <strong>the</strong> Eiger<br />

hotel. He had his own style of skiing but rarely came to grief! He would often be<br />

seen at <strong>the</strong> round table in <strong>the</strong> Stübli bar, a favourite haunt of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O at <strong>the</strong> time,<br />

discussing <strong>the</strong> day’s events and those magnificent mountains. I once remember him<br />

saying to Karl Fuchs whilst drinking his Kummel “I got <strong>the</strong> whole family down ’Oh<br />

God’ today, including a couple of Grandchildren!” Surrounded by his family and<br />

friends David was often at his most relaxed when in Wengen. During his last visit in<br />

spring 2006 whilst he did not ski he did get to <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> Männlichen for lunch,<br />

where he had his favourite Rösti and Dôle whilst taking in <strong>the</strong> breathtaking views<br />

and looking at his favourite mountain, <strong>the</strong> Eiger.<br />

He had several beautiful yachts on <strong>the</strong> River Medway named “Vendetta”. Prior to<br />

big boats he was a very keen Dragon sailor and on one occasion in 1957 represented<br />

<strong>the</strong> UK in a four boat team against <strong>the</strong> Royal Danish Yacht Club in Denmark. The<br />

four Dragons were taken to Copenhagen in <strong>the</strong> Royal Yacht Britannia in company<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Queen on a state visit. David had many successes on <strong>the</strong> water not only<br />

on <strong>the</strong> River Medway but also away from home including coming 2nd in <strong>the</strong> 1957<br />

Edinburgh Cup and in 1967 he was <strong>the</strong> winner of <strong>the</strong> Queens Cup Cowes.<br />

David is survived by his wife Deirdre and his five children Pepita, Nicola, Deedle,<br />

Tania and Philip as well as his 14 grand-children and three great grand-children.<br />

PC<br />

Keith Room (1922- <strong>2009</strong>):<br />

Keith Room died on March 26th <strong>2009</strong> aged 86. He had joined <strong>the</strong> D.H.O in 1972,<br />

was a regular competitor in <strong>the</strong> Macmillan Cup and in 2003 won <strong>the</strong> Heavenly Bowl<br />

aged 80, after which success he decided it was time to hang up his skis.<br />

On leaving Shrewsbury School in 1940 he served with <strong>the</strong> REME, took part in <strong>the</strong><br />

liberation of both Singapore and Malaya and left <strong>the</strong> army in 1946 with <strong>the</strong> rank<br />

of Major. After two years at Corpus Christi, Oxford, in 1949 he joined Standard<br />

Telephones & Cables and held various posts in Thorn Electrical Industries until his<br />

retirement in 1982.<br />

We shared our holidays in Wengen for over 30 years during which period he proved<br />

a good companion with a strong sense of humour (he could do a wicked impression<br />

of his employer Sir Jules Thorn) with many loyal friends. Keith Room never married<br />

and looked after his mo<strong>the</strong>r at <strong>the</strong>ir home in Bromley until her death.<br />

Virginia Hulbert Edington-Brown (1947 – <strong>2009</strong>):<br />

Virginia Brown (née Cox), Ginny or Gin to her many friends, died suddenly at <strong>the</strong><br />

end of January <strong>2009</strong> shortly after her return from a skiing holiday in St Anton with<br />

her husband Charlie, and friends. They had had a wonderful week and a perfect last<br />

afternoon enjoying <strong>the</strong> sunshine and powder. Ginny died unexpectedly in hospital,<br />

after a very short illness, <strong>the</strong> following Friday.<br />

Gin joined <strong>the</strong> D.H.O as one of Ros Hepworths racing juniors in 1961. She was<br />

educated at Châtelard School, above Lake Geneva, in Switzerland and was one<br />

of several girls from <strong>the</strong> school spotted by Ros. She continued to train and race<br />

for D.H.O throughout her teens and was a regular contributor of articles to <strong>the</strong><br />

Journal. She joined <strong>the</strong> British Ski Team in 1966 and represented GB in races all<br />

over Europe.<br />

After retiring from ski racing Gin went to work in Aviemore as a ski instructor and<br />

met her future husband Charlie. They both loved Wengen and <strong>the</strong> Bernese Oberland<br />

and began touring with Oskar Gertsch Senior around <strong>the</strong> Bernese Oberland, and<br />

more recently <strong>the</strong> Aosta Valley. Gin also joined <strong>the</strong> British Masters Ski Team and<br />

won an international event in Andorra. In 2007, to celebrate her 60th birthday, she<br />

organised a chalet holiday for a group of friends in her favourite ski resort, Wengen.<br />

Unfortunately, she had allowed her membership of <strong>the</strong> D.H.O to lapse around<br />

1995.<br />

Gin will be best remembered for her sense of fun and zest for life with which she<br />

imbued her many friends. Her love of planning (or plotting as she preferred to call<br />

it), be it a trip to <strong>the</strong> cinema, or long distance journey to foreign parts by train, always<br />

drew in an enthusiastic group of companions for her next adventure. Her ashes have<br />

been scattered in her beloved Switzerland, beside her old school and facing <strong>the</strong> Dent<br />

du Midi. Her death leaves a great gap in <strong>the</strong> lives of all who knew her.<br />

Wengen Curling Club 2008<br />

Fred A MacKenzie<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

Reports had filtered back to <strong>the</strong> UK of <strong>the</strong> wonderful festive season in Wengen with plenty of snow and sunshine<br />

- and so we arrived to find <strong>the</strong> BOCA outdoor championships being played in perfect conditions – 36 teams using 9<br />

sheets – a magnificent sight. Although representing <strong>the</strong> Jungfrau Club on this occasion, ‘our’ team, including Ueli<br />

Trachsel, Andrew Corcoran and Detlef Scholten finished well up <strong>the</strong> prize list.<br />

It was sunny and cold when four teams lined up to battle for <strong>the</strong><br />

Reinert Stoffer Cup. The winners, and <strong>the</strong> first names on <strong>the</strong><br />

boards for <strong>2009</strong> were Walter Marti, Diane Paterson, Godfrey<br />

Bedford and Mike Hales.<br />

The <strong>the</strong>rmometer had risen slightly for <strong>the</strong> Wright Bowl<br />

bonspiel, won by Ueli Trachsel, Diane Paterson, Elsbeth Marti<br />

and Laura Corcoran. (Did you realise that your mo<strong>the</strong>r-in-law,<br />

Ann, won this trophy 28 years ago, Laura?)<br />

It was encouraging this year, to see eight teams entering for<br />

<strong>the</strong> Pairs Competition. They all enjoyed some convivial curling<br />

which resulted in well deserved prizes for all. For <strong>the</strong> 4th time<br />

in 5 years, Toni Loretan was in <strong>the</strong> victorious pair, this time<br />

with Sue Bedford.<br />

Still beautiful wea<strong>the</strong>r for <strong>the</strong> Bühlmann Cup and after a two<br />

day schenkel competition, <strong>the</strong> top rink of Diane Paterson, Allan<br />

Higgins, Elsbeth Marti and Margaret Gibb received <strong>the</strong> trophy<br />

from Loreen.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> Saturday of <strong>the</strong> Lauberhorn Race, six teams of three<br />

participated in <strong>the</strong> Lehman Bonspiel. All teams got to pick<br />

from <strong>the</strong> ‘bottle stall’ and Peter’s Dolly was presented by <strong>the</strong><br />

President to Susan Hinds, Sue Bedford and Loreen MacKenzie.<br />

With some hotels not taking curlers until after <strong>the</strong> race weekend,<br />

<strong>the</strong>re was a disappointing entry of only six teams for <strong>the</strong> Hotel<br />

& Chalet Cup. On <strong>the</strong> second day, a few snowflakes forced us<br />

inside for <strong>the</strong> semi-final although we were outside again for <strong>the</strong><br />

final which resulted in a triumph for team Eiger - Diane and<br />

Robin Paterson with Andrew and Laura Corcoran.<br />

For those unaware, <strong>the</strong> Eiger is no longer a hotel but is being<br />

converted into appartments. The downstairs bar and restuarant<br />

have been taken over by Rudi and Bea who made us most<br />

welcome on many occasions. The D.H.O have moved in to <strong>the</strong><br />

old residents lounge which of course means <strong>the</strong>y have departed<br />

from our clubhouse (after a ’provisional’ arrangement made in<br />

1977). We wish <strong>the</strong>m well in <strong>the</strong>ir splendid new quarters and<br />

hope our longstanding fellowship will continue.<br />

We were now at maximum numbers (14 teams) and guess<br />

what – after a week of sunshine, snow forced us to play for<br />

<strong>the</strong> President’s Prizes in <strong>the</strong> ‘cowshed’. On day one we were<br />

obliged to play shortened games and unsocial hours to get<br />

down to 4 teams for <strong>the</strong> traditional semi-finals on <strong>the</strong> second<br />

day. President Mike presented <strong>the</strong> Hewitt Cup and his prizes of<br />

engraved replica Welsh miners lamps to Norman Walker, Bruno<br />

Wezel, Rosemarie Rösti and Iris Simpson.<br />

But this was not <strong>the</strong> only presentation as we ga<strong>the</strong>red downstairs<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Eiger for <strong>the</strong> AGM. Jimmy MacPherson had decided not<br />

to come out for what would have been his 40th year in Wengen.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong>se many years, his famous tartan hat had been well<br />

admired by a certain member so he had sent it out and asked<br />

that it be bestowed to a bemused Bruno, who wore it with great<br />

pride for <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> season.<br />

Vernon Knapper handed over a framed picture which is to hang<br />

in <strong>the</strong> clubhouse, of <strong>the</strong> team that achieved <strong>the</strong> 8-ender playing<br />

for Remy’s Muffin at Perth.<br />

Downhill only Journal <strong>2009</strong><br />

They say <strong>the</strong> sun shines on <strong>the</strong> righteous and <strong>the</strong> ladies were<br />

certainly lucky when <strong>the</strong>y assembled to play for <strong>the</strong> Margaret<br />

Walker Quaich. Having done all <strong>the</strong> preparatory work, Donald<br />

White was unfortunately unable to be <strong>the</strong>re on <strong>the</strong> day to keep<br />

<strong>the</strong>m in line, however all went well, including <strong>the</strong> lunch at <strong>the</strong><br />

Victoria Lauberhorn and <strong>the</strong> gluewein at <strong>the</strong> ice-rink, courtesy<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Eiger! Valerie Browning presented charming cushions<br />

to <strong>the</strong> winners, Pat Orr, Christine Reid, Margaret Gow and<br />

Loreen MacKenzie.<br />

The gentlemen had to endure <strong>the</strong> long trek to Mürren but were<br />

able to enjoy some social curling in <strong>the</strong> glorious wea<strong>the</strong>r and<br />

an even more sociable lunch, before rushing back to catch <strong>the</strong><br />

climax of <strong>the</strong> Ladies competition.<br />

We were pleased to welcome 11 newcomers to Wengen this<br />

year, including Inglis and Ka<strong>the</strong>rine McAulay – but it transpired<br />

this was not <strong>the</strong> first time <strong>the</strong>y had curled in Wengen when<br />

we noticed Ka<strong>the</strong>rine’s name on <strong>the</strong> board as a winner of <strong>the</strong><br />

Hewitt Cup in <strong>the</strong> early eighties.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r big entry for <strong>the</strong> Wengen Cup and <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r let us<br />

down again – by <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> first afternoon it was so stormy<br />

that <strong>the</strong> curtain at <strong>the</strong> ‘cowshed’ had to be raised, resulting<br />

in a premature end to <strong>the</strong> curling. The event was, however,<br />

eventually completed with Karl Hindenlang, Bev Brown, Linda<br />

MacDonald and George Gilmour <strong>the</strong> ultimate winners.<br />

Better wea<strong>the</strong>r arrived and play was all outside in <strong>the</strong> sunshine<br />

for <strong>the</strong> popular Park Hotel Prizes. At <strong>the</strong> end of a two day<br />

knock-out tournament with a low road, Norman Walker found<br />

himself in his third consecutive final, emerging as winner with<br />

Detlef Scholten, Nicky Bell and Erwin Wenger. Prizes were<br />

presented by Margrit Leemann at <strong>the</strong> munificent reception in<br />

<strong>the</strong> hotel.<br />

A four round schenkel competition for <strong>the</strong> Victoria Lauberhorn<br />

Cup culminated with Diane Paterson, Nora McCrossin, Hea<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Brown and John Stevenson receiving <strong>the</strong>ir prizes at <strong>the</strong> hotel.<br />

With numbers dropping off we were back down to four teams<br />

vying to get <strong>the</strong>ir hands on <strong>the</strong> Wyllie Shield, still with glorious<br />

sunshine and keen ice. New committee member Christina<br />

Lockyer ultimately handed over <strong>the</strong> shield to Harry Mitchell,<br />

Andrew Corcoran, Barbara Scholten and Loreen MacKenzie.<br />

The final day started off with a bizarre incident when Toni<br />

Loretan was knocked over on <strong>the</strong> nursery slope by a landing<br />

paraglider. However he was fit enough to continue in <strong>the</strong><br />

fun bonspiel for <strong>the</strong> Holland Cup, where <strong>the</strong> teams played 5<br />

ends against each of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r rinks. The Secretary had been<br />

clearing out <strong>the</strong> prize cupboard so everyone got to pick from<br />

<strong>the</strong> assortment of odd prizes with <strong>the</strong> winners, Harry Mitchell,<br />

Robin Paterson and Graham Browning having first choice.<br />

58<br />

As ever our thanks must go to Honorary Member Eric Hinds<br />

for his long term support of <strong>the</strong> Club, in particular sourcing<br />

many of our prizes and updating <strong>the</strong> names on our collection<br />

of trophies.<br />

Fastrack your way into <strong>the</strong><br />

exciting world of ski instruction...<br />

WHEN?<br />

Firstly and most importantly is when to do your Gap course. There are 2<br />

options. Before <strong>the</strong> ski season starts (summer or autumn) or during <strong>the</strong><br />

winter season. If you choose to do your training during <strong>the</strong> season <strong>the</strong>n<br />

you will be able to enjoy skiing a fully open ski resort and all <strong>the</strong> facilities<br />

and pleasures that come with it, resulting in being qualifi ed by March with<br />

<strong>the</strong> possibility of working for <strong>the</strong> remainder of that season. Choosing <strong>the</strong><br />

pre-season course will mean that <strong>the</strong> majority of <strong>the</strong> course is run on an<br />

alpine glacier. This option results in becoming a fully qualifi ed ski<br />

instructor before <strong>the</strong> season meaning you are free to enjoy <strong>the</strong> skiing,<br />

lifestyle and pleasures of a fully open ski resort being paid to be <strong>the</strong>re!<br />

WHERE?<br />

Where to do your gap course? Here <strong>the</strong> choice is endless. There is a ski<br />

gap course in almost every corner of <strong>the</strong> globe from <strong>the</strong> French Alps to<br />

Canada to New Zealand. This choice could be made by a location<br />

preference, or better still by which governing body you wish to qualify with.<br />

I am going to focus purely on British Gap courses all of whom qualify <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

instructors with Basi (British Association of Snowsport Instructors) <strong>the</strong><br />

benefi ts and pathway to certifi cation are detailed below.<br />

CONTENT?<br />

Different course providers will offer slightly different course content<br />

primarily to try and differentiate <strong>the</strong>mselves, all courses though should<br />

include:<br />

• Personal performance training.<br />

• Teacher training.<br />

• Basi exam fees.<br />

• Accommodation.<br />

• Lift pass.<br />

• First Aid.<br />

• Ski school experience and shadowing.<br />

DOWNHILL ONLY JOURNAL <strong>2009</strong><br />

You’re passionate about skiing, be it racing or recreationally with friends and family but those few weeks<br />

away to <strong>the</strong> mountains just sometimes don’t feel enough. Do you dream of skiing every day of <strong>the</strong> winter?<br />

Never missing those powder days, sunny days, emptier slopes, and <strong>the</strong> atmosphere, not to mention <strong>the</strong><br />

lifestyle you experience in <strong>the</strong> mountains.<br />

Why not consider a ski ‘Gap’ course! Imagine skiing every day of <strong>the</strong> season or being able to jet out to your favourite<br />

resort to ski, share your passion for <strong>the</strong> sport and get paid to be <strong>the</strong>re. The ski gap course market is getting bigger all<br />

<strong>the</strong> time, but to help simplify everything for you I have written this article that will explain <strong>the</strong> options available to you,<br />

what <strong>the</strong> course should include, details about <strong>the</strong> qualifi cations and where you can work with your new achievements.<br />

BASI<br />

Basi is <strong>the</strong> British governing body for all British Snowsports qualifi cations,<br />

with a structured pathway in Alpine, Nordic, Telemark, Adaptive, and<br />

Snowboarding disciplines. In Alpine skiing Basi has a 4-stage system,<br />

which is structured to help you gain worldwide recognized qualifi cations<br />

and career opportunities. Full details on <strong>the</strong> pathway to level 4 certifi cation<br />

can be found on <strong>the</strong>ir website. Below I have detailed only <strong>the</strong> Gap inclusive<br />

levels. In order to begin you must enrol on <strong>the</strong> 1-week training course,<br />

<strong>the</strong>se are held in both <strong>the</strong> Alps and also UK facilities. You must complete all<br />

elements of <strong>the</strong> level 1 course to receive <strong>the</strong> qualifi cation prior to<br />

working as an instructor, <strong>the</strong>n you must complete a fur<strong>the</strong>r 35 hours work<br />

experience (teaching preferable) prior to booking on to your 2-week level<br />

2 course. You can complete level 1 from age 16, and commence level 2<br />

training, but need to be 18 years old to achieve <strong>the</strong> full level 2 ski instructor<br />

licence.<br />

WHERE CAN YOU WORK?<br />

Basi level 1 instructor allows you to work in non-mountain environments<br />

such as UK snowdomes and dry slopes, this is similar to <strong>the</strong> old ASSI<br />

qualifi cation. Basi level 2 is recognized worldwide allowing you to apply<br />

for work in Europe (excluding France) America, Canada, New Zealand<br />

and Australia (with visa). Some countries require you to complete a<br />

training course within <strong>the</strong>ir system however this is usually included in any<br />

Instructor training, or as a week prior to employment.<br />

Now all that’s left is to sign up, and you could be just 8 weeks away<br />

from one of <strong>the</strong> best jobs in <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
