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.

Adding Photos to the Website

Submitted by PeteLancaster on 24 January 2012 - 8:15pm

The Galleries section of the website displays photos taken by members, and is a useful way of letting everyone know what is going on in the club - from days out in Scotland to longer tours in the Alps and further afield.

All members of the club can add galleries and photos (as long as they are logged in), and a new help page has recently been added to the website which describes how to do this.

Club Tours Filling Up

Submitted by PeteLancaster on 4 December 2011 - 9:44pm

About half of the tours on the Club Programme are now either full or have only one or two places left. If you are keen to join one of the trips in 2012, it would be wise to book now, so that you can get the choice you want.
