Experienced skiers and snowboarders who will share their knowledge of the mountain and resort:
The Ski Club has hundreds of volunteer Representatives (Reps) active in 18 resorts worldwide. Whether you are an improving skier or love adventurous off-piste skiing, our Reps will facilitate groups so you can socialise and ski with people of similar ability and aspiration. Unlike other types of rep, a Ski Club Rep has no motive other than to ensure that Ski Club Members have the most enjoyable time possible, whilst promoting the principles of safe, responsible and enjoyable recreational skiing.
What can a Ski Club Rep do for you?
Our Ski Club Reps are the friendly, knowledgeable face of the Ski Club. They are our in-resort experts and are on hand to ensure you make the most of your time out in the mountains at 18 top resorts worldwide. They have four mains aims:
- Facilitating and organising social skiing for groups of Members
- Promoting safe and responsible recreational skiing
- Arranging a fun and varied weekly events plan, including lunch meetups and après drinks
- Ensuring Members are aware of the fantastic range of Ski Club benefits and discounts
They’ll be also be on hand to assist you with any resort-specific information you may need, so if you’re looking to book a mountain guide, take some lessons or want recommendations for the best activities in the area, your Rep is the first port of call.
Our Reps will also be regularly updating resort Facebook groups with news, photos and updates and will continue to provide our snow reporting team with detailed info on the very latest conditions.
