105 teams competed, the largest fields being those of junior girls (155) and junior boys (151) Wonderful weather saw us done and dusted and heading home Tues afternoon - we didn't stay around for prizegiving.

Jessica and I had a special time - will be much better next year though when she has some team mates...

Her individual time saw her placed middle of the field (75th) for junior girls - course softened fairly early in the piece.

Dual slalom on day two remained firm resulting in lots of carnage...exciting viewing!! Jessica took the course cautiously and came a close second to her rival.

MAGS overall 'team' placing was 102=!! A little awkward as an individual against teams of five!

It was a great opportunity for Jessica to rub shoulders with ones from other schools and some very talented skiers at that.

Mount Albert Grammar School sent a team of four: James Rowe, Adam Koifman, Sophie Taylor, Jordan Cope down to the North Island Secondary School Skiing Championships held at Mt Ruapehu in September.

Two teachers from MAGS, Mr Andy Belson and Ms Julia Campbell, went with the group.
