A Year In The Life...

A year in the life of a self-confessed snow addict

They say that the first step to curing an addiction is confronting it. Once you admit to yourself that you can't live without snow, the rest is easy. And once you're armed with the knowledge that there are many more like you out there, you'll no longer feel alone. We are here to help you. But what you really want to know is... if you joined the Ski Club today, how would the next year pan out? What is the everyday existence of a certified Ski Club member?

• Choose knowledge. Choose making a call to the Information Department and getting expert advice from other addicts on which resort, which après-ski, which smooth blue pistes, which glittering powder bowls. Choose advice on safety and ski courses.
• Choose your adventure. Choose a Ski Freshtracks holiday package to match your ability. Or choose the right tour operator so you get up to 10% off your holiday with the Ski Company Search. Or choose the Ski Club Travel Service to help you find the perfect ski holiday at 5% off. Choose paying less and getting more.
• Choose independence. Choose online DIY information exclusive to members on all aspects of planning your journey to the slopes yourself. Choose booking train and bus travel for less. And once your winter plans are sealed... choose Ski Club travel insurance for comprehensive cover including off piste skiing. Choose transceiver hire for less.
• And as you wait for your escape to the mountains... Choose the coolest skiwear and the best equipment from shops all over the UK offering Ski Club member discounts. Choose a few practice sessions on a dry slope where, as a Ski Club member, you pay less. Choose Snowline. Choose daily snow reports to your mobile.
• And once you're there... Choose equipment hire for less with hundreds of Ski Club discounts in resort. Choose Ski Club reps to show you the snow you dreamed of and the bars you'll love.
• And once you're home... Choose reunion barbeques and annual Balls in the heat of summer commemorating the cool of winter. Choose sharing photos and memories with friends in the chat room on skiclub.co.uk.
• Choose news. Choose Ski Board magazine for stunning photos from the slopes, articles and fashion. Choose Clubtalk and The Edge e-newsletter so you always know what we're doing and where we're heading. Choose competitions to win prizes to make your friends jealous. Choose speeding down a slalom and thrashing the top score on the online game, Ski Run. Choose to wear a Respect the Mountain wristband and t-shirt, because you do.
• And when that time of year whispers temptation in your ear once more... Choose great deals on advanced tickets for ski shows. Choose your next holiday. Choose a new resort. A new chalet. A new-found friend to join you. Choose to start dreaming about it all over again.
• Choose keeping your head in the mountains all year round. Choose Ski Club
