Members often say that one of the best parts of joining the club is the Rep services. Need a ski buddy? Ski Club Reps are on hand in resorts across Europe and North America, ready to be just that; share a chat on the chairlift, discover perfect powder stashes, and the best places only the locals know for an aprรจs beer.
”Gurgl may not be the biggest ski resort in the Alps but for many its the best.
The location ensures quiet slopes, virtually no lift queues and ledgendary parties.”Alistar Ross, SCGB Rep
One of the club membersโ favourite resorts is Gurgl, Austriaโs premier destination for high-altitude and family-friendly skiing. Nestled in the Tyrol, this charming traditional village is among Austriaโs highest ski resorts. Boasting over 110 km of pistes and just a 90-minute drive from Innsbruck, Gurgl offers an ideal getaway in every way.
The resort is so popular among members for meeting up with Reps that, starting this winter, the club will have two Reps on hand to provide service. With two ambassadors available, members have the opportunity to ski with different groups and explore a variety of skiing styles throughout the season.
The club will provide a meeting place each day, where members can join the Rep for a day of skiing. While theyโre enthusiastic ambassadors, they wonโt guide or plan your day; instead, everyone decides together how and where to ski, shaping a mountain experience that matches the groupโs mood and sense of adventure.
Plus, thereโs an opportunity to meet up with fellow members in the resort at the daily social hour in the evening, to unwind, enjoy a drink and share stories from the dayโs adventures. Or download the Ski Club app and virtually connect with fellow skiers in resort.
If youโre keen to check out Gurgl but would rather go in a group, discover the Ski Clubโs Freshtracks trips to the region. The club offers several holidays during the season, providing plenty of opportunities to discover better skiing. Spend six days with other members and explore the quietest pistes, best runs and tastiest lunch spots courtesy of the Ski Club Rep.
