Britain's most successful alpine skier Dave Ryding says his sport needs to 'move with the times' by shifting races to higher altitudes.
Britain's most successful alpine skier Dave Ryding says his sport needs to "move with the times" by shifting races to higher altitudes, and did not rule out the possibility of competing indoors.
In an interview with BBC Sport, he said there were plenty of resorts at an altitude above 3,000m which could be used rather than scheduling races at only 800m in March. Ryding, who started skiing on dry slopes, said he hoped they would not end up racing on those, though joked he would be "pretty good at it".
After the men's slalom in Chamonix in February, where Swiss Daniel Yule staged an unprecedented comeback from 30th place after the first run to win the title, climatologist Mark Maslin said climate change had played a part. Ryding has finished on the podium in a World Cup race at least once in the past four seasons, securing his seventh this season with a third-place finish in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy in November.
Slalom team-mates Billy Major, 27, and Laurie Taylor, 28, have also enjoyed their best results this season - while behind them is Olympic Youth champion Zak Carrick-Smith - and Ryding thinks the team are proving they are "100% investible again".
