Race Team
Training
We offer one training session a week on dry-mat in either Edinburgh, Aberdeen, or Glasgow. This allows us to train specifically for each semester's competitions.
Competitions
We compete across Scotland and the UK. In first semester we race in the Scottish and British University Dryslope skiing competitions. In the second semester we race in the Scottish University Indoor Skiing Championships, where our skiers can qualify for the British Championships. We also compete in the Scottish Alpine Student Championships, where our athletes have a chance to race on real snow. This year we are also working to race at the week-long BUCS Main Event in the alps during the second semester!
Experience
We advise that those wanting to join the team are comfortable skiers, confidently able to ski a red run in Europe (a black run in N. America). However, this is only so you can get the most enjoyment out of the experience, so if you have nerves of steel and are self-sufficient (can use ski lifts and equipment on you own) then you are welcome to come along! If you are still working up to this level then check out our Rec Team!
