What to expect from the sessions: By the end of the 6 weeks you will have gone from a complete beginner to being able to make controlled snowplough turns and possibly starting to make parallel turns (everyone learns at different speeds). What does this mean? Well if you were to go on a ski holiday in the mountains you would be able to cover all the easy terrain of green and blue runs and by the end of the course you will have the correct foundation technique to build from in order to eventually conquer the whole mountain!
What to bring: Old long sleeves tops and trousers that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, jeans are not recommended. It’ll also be quite cold so layers are ideal. The lessons will run in all weathers so bring waterproof’s if necessary. Pack some gloves and long socks. Bring water and snacks with you as there isn't anywhere to get food at the slope.
Where to meet: The Snowsports Club will be meeting every Thursday outside Bloomsbury Theatre at 16:30 before walking over to Kings Cross to take the train the Gosling dry ski slope. They will be joining the ski racers on the night so it’s a great opportunity to meet others in the club too! You will return back on campus around 22:00-22:30pm.
