Recreational Team
Lessons
During first semester we offer lessons once a week to people who want to have a go of skiing or snowboarding before trip or to anyone who fancies it. These will usually take place on dry-mat and are a great introduction to it! Transport, equipment and instructing is all included in the fee which typically covers three two-hour long sessions. We won’t be doing gates or jumps so see the race or freestyle teams if you have a bit more experience and want to get involved with more advanced stuff.
Scottish Skiing
In second semester, you can catch us in the Highlands whenever there is enough snow to go skiing. From Glenoe to Cairngorm and the Nevis Range we all pile into vans and go where the snow is. These trips normally last for a full day with an early start and are usually organised quite last minute so check out the Rec Team facebook page and keep an eye out for the latest updates.
Experience
The rec team is for anyone and everyone. Come along to our first semester sessions at the Snow Factor for a taster, for some practise before trip, or just to spend some time on two planks or a board. For second semester trips to the Scottish mountains, it is recommended that you have enough experience to be able to catch a lift and make it down a slope independently, but this can all be learnt in first semester! From people who have never seen snow before to people who can’t get enough of it, the rec team would love to have you!
