SSC Racing Alpine Program
SSC’s Alpine Program of training & racing opportunities in the Alps are open to all club members with racing experience, and suitable for U10-U16 age groups. Club membership is open to all and just £27.50 annually – see here. These camps are complemented by our existing domestic training weekends and race coach support at Cairngorm and other Scottish ski areas during the winter.
If you would like to join us for any of these camps, you want to know which camp(s) are suitable for you, or you have any other queries, you can contact the club’s Head Coach, Calum Shepherd, by email at coaching@scottishskiclub.org.uk.

Fri 19 – Mon 22 Sep 2025
Indoor snow domes offer the most dependable & reliable training setup, with no weather considerations. We will take advantage of the September holiday weekend that some schools get to get some slalom training in at the Belgian snowdome used by all the national teams before the season starts.

Autumn on the glaciers is the perfect time to kick-start the season with dedicated training time and no races. Hintertux offers the perfect pre-season environment for learning how to go faster, adjusting tactics and building strong technique. Plus, the valley is full of great spaces for afternoon fitness, and our team base supports ski tuning & video analysis.
