SCOTTISH MEETS January – April 2010
The 2010 programme concentrates on February and March, the
heart of the Scottish season before the alpine touring season
takes off. We are hoping for a repeat of the good conditions of
the last two winters.
The club dinner is being held at a new venue between Laggan and
Newtonmore. This is 45 minutes north of the popular Blair
Atholl venue and gives better access to a wide range of
mountains. Also new for 2010 is a joint meet with SMC ski
mountaineers at Forest Lodge in Glen Tilt. Forest Lodge and
Achnasheen can be combined to make a Scottish week of ski
touring/Munro bagging/alpine preparation. Scottish ski touring
has an ambience to be savoured where finding the best
snow/crossing the burns/being inside a blizzard all adds to the
mountain experience.
Please book early!
Late bookings can lead to disappointment as some meets are
heavily oversubscribed and make difficulties for the
organisers. Note that some meets have
deadlines in early December.

Day meets are intended to complement the weekend meets by
providing a flexible and informal format for Eagles to get
together and go day touring in Scotland as conditions allow.
All types of equipment (free and fixed heel skis, snowboards,
kites, etc) are most welcome.
A list of meets is given below. Members interested in joining a
day meet should give their name to the meet convenor by email

the day before the meet at the latest, for insurance purposes
and to enable a final head count. Click on a meet for contact

The 2009 weekend meets programme is shown.
The prime objective of these meets is to promote contact and companionship
amongst like-minded members and to offer a congenial forum that is
welcoming to new members. They also provide an opportunity to keep fit and
sometimes broaden ones sporting horizons while awaiting the next skiing season.
Please note that full payment in advance
is now required for nearly all our meets.
This will not normally be returnable following a late cancellation
(or failure to turn up), since the Club is usually liable for booked
but unused accommodation. Please remember also to supply an SAE to the
organiser if you are seeking information or an acknowledgement by post.
As a member club of Snowsport England, the Eagle Ski Club is bound by the
SSE Child Welfare Policy.PDF
The Club also has its own Child Welfare Policy,PDF
in accordance with which, children under 18, (whether members or not,)
are accepted on meets at the organiser's discretion,
and normally only where a parent or legal guardian attends the meet
and takes responsibility for the child.
In case of doubt, please discuss with the organiser.
The following meets are being arranged. As planned, we are
presenting a similar set of meets to those run in recent years.
Please remember that, apart from the
