But the passionate competitor still had a memorable Aussie winter and remains thankful for Maccabi Australia’s support. “I was most pleased with my results at the Blue Cow Cup, coming first in the U16 boys’ giant slalom and the ski cross and second in parallel slalom,” he said.

He also shone at the Australian Children’s Alpine Carnival at Mount Buller, earning bronze in the parallel slalom and coming fourth in slalom.

Other impressive results by Jewish skiers included Finn Rogers’ two bronzes at the Victorian Interschools at Mt Buller, in the division 6 boys’ ski cross and giant slalom and Finn Solomon’s 22nd in the latter.
