We are delighted to announce that we are now supporting 13 year old Swiss/American Harry Poletis in his membership of the Valais ski team.

Living close to our home resort of Anzère, Harry is dedicated to his sport and has an onerous training and competition programme throughout the year. In addition to skiing in the Winter, Harry loves to mountain bike when the snow melts away and is also starting to race in this exciting sport.

In the 2008 ski season, Harry ranked 12th in the Valais and 55th in Switzerland for his age and is working hard to improve on this in 2009.

We wish him every success and will follow his progress carefully, reporting on his inspiring challenge to represent Switzerland in a future ski world cup.

You can follow Harry's results this season by visiting the Valais ski team website here.
