Club Holiday
The Scottish Ski Club has organised an annual ski holiday in Europe since 2001. It is usually arranged for the last week in January and some 30 –40 members now take part. Destinations are selected to give a wide range of snow sure skiing for those of differing skiing abilities and hotels or chalet hotels which offer good facilities, value for money and are close to the pistes. The SSC holiday group is highly sociable and new members can be assured of a warm welcome.
Club Holiday 2022-3
After one of our most successful ever Club holidays in 2020, the proposal to return for a second year running to Arabba in the Italian Dolomites in 2023 again to stay at the Hotel Portavescovo finally became reality earlier this year. This was the first time in the many years of Club holidays that we had successive visits to a resort. The choice was well justified. Piste conditions were excellent, topped up by a good snowfall on the Monday and queueing was minimal on most lifts. The Portavescovo again looked after us very well, including serving our Burn’s Supper (with piping by Mary Jane Falconer). All 27 members much enjoyed their week.
For 2024, the Club will return to Sestriere after a gap of 13 years. 33 Members have signed up for this holiday
