The men’s giant slalom winner was former British Team skier Ashley Kay with a time of 61.61 seconds with the women’s number one spot going to former Australian Winter Olympic skier, Marilla Guss with a time of 63.32 seconds, giving her second place overall in the competition.
“It was great to be part of this competition, the first ever of its kind,” said Ashley Kay, now a ski teacher based in the 3 Valley’s, “I’m sure we will see it grow over the coming years and attract even more serious racers, without losing the fun and welcoming atmosphere that is inclusive to all levels. I’ll definitely be back again next year to defend my GS title!”
Besides the competitive elements of the event, the Championships were also a place for socialising and meeting like-minded skiers who all use exoskeleton devices when skiing. The founder and organiser of the event Ophélie David, is a former member of the French Alpine Ski Team.
Tirion Hannaford from the company ski~mojo, one of the official event partners, who attended the World Championships and participated in the race, said: “There was such an amazing buzz and energy around the whole weekend. Lots of people including myself had never done a ‘proper’ race before. The ski~mojo gave me a sense of security as I knew even pushing myself my knee was secure and even if I had fallen the mojo would have protected me. Bring on next year’s race – can’t wait!”
Due to recent regulatory changes, significant customs duties and import fees may apply to all orders shipped to the United States. These charges may range from 15% to 50% of the order value.
⚠️ These charges are determined by U.S. customs authorities and are therefore not included in the order total or shipping fees.
They are the sole responsibility of the customer and are directly charged by the carrier (typically DHL, FedEx, or UPS) or local authorities upon import. Additionally, due to the current workload of customs authorities, some shipments may be held in customs for several days, beyond our control.
By placing an order, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:
In the event of refusal :
You nevertheless retain your right of withdrawal, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. However, this right can only be exercised after delivery has been accepted and the goods received, as refusal to accept delivery prevents the return of the goods. Please note that, in the event of exercising your right of withdrawal, you will need to contact the U.S. authorities directly to request any potential refund of the customs duties you have previously paid.
I acknowledge that customs duties (15 to 50%) imposed and collected by the U.S. government may apply and are not included in the order or shipping fees. I agree to pay these charges when requested by the carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS). I understand that no refund will be issued if I refuse to pay these charges. Failure to pay these charges will therefore result in the loss of your order without refund.
