SSC Racing Hillend Summer Sundays
2-4pm on select Sundays throughout Summer 2025.
From £30 per person, per session.
Conquering Hillend is without a doubt the toughest part of the ski racing summer season. It’s no secret that racers local to Edinburgh have a ‘home advantage’, and getting time to train there otherwise can be tricky. But no more!
These sessions are small so the quality of the training is high. There will be a mix of technical freeskiing and gate training. When training slalom, only full gates can be guaranteed, so these sessions are better suited to U14+. The sessions later in the summer will include some GS as we head towards the GS races in the autumn.
How to sign up
All sessions can be booked at race.scottishskiclub.org.uk. You must create an account yourself (as parent/guardian) and add trainees in the “Your Family Members” section. From there, you can book upcoming sessions.
Sessions are priced initially at £30 per person, though if we do not fill the group, you will need to pay more (to cover the cost of the session).
Session dates
All sessions run 2-4pm. Please arrive sharp with kit on ready to ski for 2pm. Trainees can meet the coaches on the slope.

What to bring
- All your usual ski & slalom equipment.
- Skiing on a dry slope requires long sleeves, trousers, and gloves, even on the hottest day of the year. Thinner gloves are fine, e.g. mountain biking gloves work well on warmer days.
- Skis need to be razor sharp to get anything out of a race training session at Hillend. If you aren’t able to do this yourself, speak to your local race shop.
- Water & snacks to have handy at the bottom of the hill.
