Busy Weekend for British Snowsport Athletes Sees Flurry of Podiums and Top-10s
Charlotte Bankes, Dave Ryding and James Barnes-Miller led the way as British skiers and snowboarders banked some big results in a busy weekend of snowsport action
Bolton native Huw has spent most of his life in the mountains of Austria, after his family opened a B&B in Westendorf. Making his competitive Snowboard Cross debut at the 2018 FIS Junior event in Pec Pod Snezkou, Huw Nightingale placed 7th.
Following strong, and steady progression through the sport with two top-10 finishes in the 2021 European Cup, Huw broke onto the World Cup circuit at the 2021 Montafon World Cup, placing 28th. He competed with Charlotte Bankes to win the Team Event at the World Championships in Bakuriani in 2023. He ended the last season with a 17th place finish in Mont St Anne, and has high hopes of continuing his move up the standings in 2023/24.
