| There are around 34 clubs affiliated to Snowsport Scotland.
Many of the original clubs which formed the organisation in 1963 are still
active and involved in the running of the organisation. The clubs offer a
wide range of facilities, opportunities and activities that are shown on the
pages linked to this one. Individuals from the member clubs carry out many
of the functions of Snowsport Scotland by contributing to race organisation
and various committees.
All of the clubs offer different opportunities for their members and some
clubs represent particular interests. Certain clubs have their own
facilities for use by their members; these range from a garage/workshop for
ski maintenance; a hut at one or more of the snow resorts and some have
their own artificial slopes. To contact your chosen club, phone the contact
telephone number given. Alternatively contact Snowsport Scotland and you
will be given details of the clubs in your area or those that share your
chosen interest.
One of the important functions of Snowsport Scotland is the arrangement
of insurance for all of the club's members. Civil liability insurance is
unfortunately becoming more important in sport in general and snowsports are
no exception. For this reason alone, more individual skiers and snowboarders
should take up membership of their local club and cover themselves for the
worst scenarios.
Other benefits for members of clubs affiliated to Snowsport Scotland
include: discount winter sports insurance, access to Snowsport Scotland courses and eligibility to
participate in Club and National ski races. For more details see the membership
benefits page.
