Ski Club of Great Britain

Ski Club of Great Britain  The Ski Club of Great Britain is the largest and oldest snows port  membership organisation in the UK, with over 26,000 members. Established  in 1903, over dinner at a fashionable restaurant in London (Cafe Royal), the Ski Club's  pur p ose  is to promote and protect safe, enjoyable and inspiring snows p orts experiences  for anyone  who loves snow. I had asked for membership of the Ski Club of Great Britain as a Christmas   p resent but when I found their ski leading service had sto p p ed I decided not to bother.  P reviously the Club had offered an in resort leading service but now that it had been sto p p ed I had no use of Ski Club membership.

BASI or Ski Club of Great Britain ?

The blue jacket worn by the Ski Club Reps is synonymous with the Club. It’s one of the  things the  Club is known for  and I have twice  tried to gain one.  To  be  awarded  the  coveted ‘Blue  Jacket’  you  have  to  have  successfully completed the Ski Club of Great Britain Mountain Safety and Leadership Course. The course runs once a year in Tignes and is not cheap at cost of £3199 plus an additional £480 if you are allocated single occupancy of a room. Then there are  flights and insurance to pay for.

  Disability Snowsport UK Disability Snowsport is the UK’s leading snow sports charity teaching skiing to disabled people both at UK indoor centres and on holidays abroad. DSUK make the health and social benefits of snow sports and the unique exhilaration thrill that accompanies skiing available to anyone with a disability no matter what sort of health need they have or how severe it is. Whilst there is a team of paid staff there is an even bigger team of passionate volunteers like myself who help out at local UK ski centres, social ski groups and on adaptive ski holidays. Helping people with healthcare needs to experience the same thing you and I do is something I am deeply passionate about. There is no such thing as disability, only ability. I strongly believe that every ski school should have an adaptive instructor on its team. Unless you have an adaptive instructor on your team you cannot be an inclusive ski school, you can only be an exclusive ski school and in be...
