It seems that Ski Racing now is based around either Weston or Hunstanton, shame really as there used to be some good venues. (Whistable, Hartlepool, Lyme Regis, Varne, Chasewater, Strathclyde Park, plus many more)

On breakfast TV this morning they were talking about ski racing at Ramsgate this year, and how it was to be announced at the London Boat Show.
