2007 British Land National Championships - Meribel, France 25th - 30th March 2007
- The following is an attempt to list all those LSERSA skiers that had a podium finish in these championships. They were FIS races and had some non-British skiers who have been ignored as far as this summary is concerned.
- Chemmy Alcott has been crowned Vitrix Ludorum at the British Championships having won all the events (although she was actually second in the Slalom race behind a much better seeded French girl). She also missed the Downhill training because she was competing in the French Championships where she won the Giant Slalom title.
- Just considering British skiers Louise Thomas came second in the Giant Slalom, third in the Super G and fourth in the Slalom picking up the non-British-Team champion's cup - a great performance particularly considering she is still a Junior. Rebecca O'Neil and Peter Whelan took the third places in the junior Downhill.
Peter Whelan and Franki Simonds took some of the best Under 18 British skier prizes.
