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. These training and British alpine racing opportunities are complemented by our existing domestic training weekends and race coach support at Cairngorm and other Scottish 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 queries at all, you can contact the club’s Head Coach, Calum Shepherd, by email at coaching@scottishskiclub.org.uk.
