Press release -
Selection success for Thule skier Jade Etherington
Ski racer Jade Etherington and her guide Caroline Powell are being sponsored by Thule in their quest to compete at top level of disability skiing. It has now been announced that this inspirational sports duo have made the Paralympics GB Alpine Ski Team.
At Thule we want to enable active lives for as many people as possible, so helping Jade and Caroline in their quest to the top was a given. 22-year-old Jade Etherington suffers from a genetic condition called Axenfield’s syndrome, which has left her with less than 5% vision in each eye. Over the last 5 years, Jade has rapidly developed herself from an amateur skier into a serious alpine ski racing contender. Jade and her guide Caroline Powell have been competing in highly ranked global races all over the world and have achieved many podium positions.
Thule has sponsored the pair with a range of top-quality products, including the WingBar Edge roof rack, the Xtender 739 ski carrier, Easy-fit Snow Chains, Crossover Carry-On suitcases, Gauntlet 13" MacBook Pro Attachés.
As Jade puts it: “Knowing that there will be no damage to our gear gives us one less thing to worry about and will make us able to focus on the job at hand – to race at best of our ability.”
Thule is proud to sponsor Jade & Caroline and wishes them all the best in getting to the top!
