Scottish Ski Club Racing
Scottish Ski Club’s ski racing program provides training & racing opportunities to young skiers in Scotland. SSC Racing has for many years developed young ski racers, may of whom have gone all the way to the Olympic Games & World Cup circuit, including recently retired British #1 Charlie Guest. From the famed Cairngorm Mountain to the Alps and beyond, SSC provides racers with not just the skiing skills to compete against the best in the country, but also with fantastic experiences & opportunities travelling the country and the world to take part in the sport they love.
Whether you’re brand new to ski racing or you’re a national team athlete, SSC race training is for you.
SSC Racing is open to all good skiers who can ski the whole mountain (all grades of piste) and use all kinds of uplift.
Our Cairngorm training provides a fantastic environment to get more snow skiing experience, ideal for good skiers and those who have been training on dry slope.
For those that want a bit more, come abroad with us and experience training & racing in the alps. Our program has plenty of training opportunities and follows the British BASS racing calendar.
Cairngorm Program
Training runs on Scottish snow whenever it can. Open to all U10-U16s, with U8s taken on a trial basis.
Coach support is also provided at all the seeded calendar snow races.
Alpine Program

Coaching
All our coaches are fully qualified, first-aid trained and PVG checked. They are experienced, passionate, and here to help young athletes get the most out of their skiing!
Equipment Pool
The club is looking to start an equipment pool to provide young members with the resources they need to get into and perform in ski racing. We are appealing for donations of any ski equipment you no longer wish to keep. Get in touch with the Head Coach by email with details of your equipment.
Our Values
The coaches are not just there to teach skiing. Firstly, they keep trainees safe, and secondly they help them to have fun! All SSC trainees will learn to be resilient, respectful teammates, gaining valuable life experience and becoming more independent, all whilst going fast in the mountains!

About Seeding Systems
Seeding systems are a way of tracking and comparing race performances. In the UK we have our own national seeding system, but it is based on the same calculations applied internationally by FIS, the international snowsport governing body. How do they work?
