We are the UK's largest and most active ski touring and ski mountaineering club, with almost 1500 members spread throughout the UK and overseas. The purpose of our Club is to encourage ski touring, ski mountaineering, and associated activities. This page describes:
- what we do as a Club
- our current priorities
What we do as a Club
Our Club is run for members by members. This means people stepping forward to get involved and doing some fantastic things together, such as:
- pulling together a programme of ski tours and meets, with over 60 trips in the Alps and elsewhere and about 15 meets in Scotland each year
- developing and supporting an enthusiastic group of volunteer tour leaders through training, mentoring and other support
- providing practical and online training for members
- improving the emphasis on safety whilst out ski touring
- setting ourselves an innovative "low carbon challenge" to help reduce the carbon footprint of our ski touring
- producing a high-quality Yearbook of all our trips and other activities which is well-loved by members
- keeping members informed and engaged about club activities and ski touring more generally, through the Yearbook, newsletters, website, webinars and Facebook, and by bringing more members together
- encouraging a more diverse membership
- ensuring that we run the Club effectively by looking after club funds carefully and collecting membership subs
Club strategy 2025-2030
Having a club strategy sounds a bit grand, but it's really just a way of organising what we do a bit better and ensuring that we have volunteers and money in place to help make it happen. In October 2025, the club committee approved a new club strategy for the period 2025-30. The new strategy sets out what we plan to change or improve to help strengthen the the club over this period.
Over the next five years, we want to focus more clearly on our core activity which is ski touring and ski mountaineering in a safer and more sustainable way. Building an active and diverse membership, having sound governance and making the club simpler to run all help to deliver this core activity. There are five priorities:
- create and support more ski touring and ski mountaineering opportunities for our members
- develop our approach to safer ski touring and help more members to expand their skills and experience
- reduce the climate and environmental impact of our ski touring
- encourage more young people and women to join and get involved
- make our club simpler to run, with a strong and active volunteer base

Member Surveys
We sometimes carry out a survey of members to find out a bit more about the views and needs of the members. The most recent surveys are:
One of our priorities is to increase membership by younger people. To help inform this work, we carried out a survey of our younger members in 2020. You can find the results of the survey here:
