Ski Club of Great
Britain's Guide to Summer Skiing
and Snowboarding
The summer ski season is now
upon us as the Southern hemisphere resorts open up for business and the
European glacial resorts operate with some amazing powder conditions. The
Ski Club of Great Britain offers detailed information and resources to help
skiers and snowboarders make the most of the mountains during the summer
months.
The Ski Club's website, skiclub.co.uk,
has snow reports for 44 resorts in Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina
and Europe. The reports are updated twice weekly during the summer months
from the start of May until the end of October. The Ski Club snow reports
also outline when the many glaciers across Europe open and close for summer
skiing. Tignes and Les Deux Alpes open on 18 June, Saas Fee opens on 9 July,
Cervinia in Italy opens on 2 July while Hintertux in Austria stays open 365
days a year.
Find out where you can ski or snowboard over the summer in the Ski Club's
online 'Info and Advice' section, which has gone through a complete redesign
and now offers an easy to navigate 'Summer
Skiing and Snowboard in area with detailed resort guides for many of the
summer ski resorts, tips and advice for taking a summer skiing trip, park
tips and more. Also listed are ski and snowboard camps and courses running
in the summer months - many offering discounts to Ski Club member. Al
Morgan, Ski Club of Great Britain's Information Manager says, "Skiing in the
summer is great fun and it seems more and more people are heading out to the
mountains in the summer. One of our most recent polls on the Ski Club
website shows that 54% of our voters want to spend their summer
in the mountains. Why? Well you can enjoy the snow in the mornings and get
active with tennis, hiking or biking in the afternoons. You can also brush
up on your technique on one of the many courses on offer or take a real
adventure by heading down to South America
