Last modified on January 18th, 2022

Guest has been creeping up the standings in recent races but this is a phenomenal result in a world-class field.

In her last three races she’s finished 19th, 18th and now 13th.

Ormerod just missed the podium, finishing 4th in Snowboard Slopestyle at Mammoth Mountain in California.

17-year-old Muir continued her impressive form with a 5th place at Mammoth in Ski Slopestyle.

Tonight (Wednesday), Dave Ryding competes in the invitational Crans Montana night slalom in Switzerland before heading to Wengen for his next World Cup race.

He started his campaign this season with a brilliant 5th place in Val d’Isere.

But at his last two races in Madonna di Campiglio and Adelboden, Ryding failed to finish the 2nd run.

He’ll be hoping to pick up some points in Wengen on Sunday 16th January.

The coming two weeks also see a strong contingent of Brits competing in the Para Snowsport World Championships in alpine, nordic and snowboard.
