The Eagle Ski Club

The Eagle Ski Club is the UK's largest and most active ski touring and ski mountaineering club, with over 1100 members. It organises up to 50 ski trips a year, ranging from hotel and chalet-based day tours to ski expeditions in the Arctic and the Greater Ranges. Some are led by members and others by professional guides. The tours vary in standard, but for most of them you should be fit and at least a good intermediate skier.

Some trips are offered expressly for instruction purposes such as the Off Piste Ski weeks which concentrate on ski technique. The Introduction to Ski Touring and Advanced Alpine Skills courses offer IFMGA guide led instruction in ski touring and mountaineering techniques, and general mountain skills such as avalanche awareness and navigation, glacier travel and wilderness first aid.

There is also a programme of UK events, including ski weekends in Scotland, walking and climbing weekends throughout the UK, and a slide show. These events provide an excellent opportunity to meet other ski-tourers and plan future trips.

ESC Summer Lecture 6th June - Change of speaker and start time.

Due to work commitments Rick Allen will be unable to present "The Mazeno Ridge Traverse of Nanga Parbat" on Thursday 6th June. Fortunately, fellow climbing team and ESC member Cathy O'Dowd will present instead. An inspirational speaker in her own right, this promises to be an exciting talk on one of the outstanding mountaineering achievements of 2012.
