Skiing - It's not just for Winter!
Most
people believe that skiing is for Winters only but for those enthusiasts who
have tucked their skis away until next season - think again. There is plenty of
skiing and snowboarding to be found in both Northern and Southern
Hemispheres - here are a few ideas for an action-packed
Summer.
Summer Courses on European Glaciers
For those
looking to brush up ski or snowboard technique an instruction course is the best
option - chose from The British Freeski camps www.britishfreeskicamps.com based in Saas Fee; Snoworks technical courses in Tignes, www.snoworks.co.uk; Racing camps with
Dissent Ski in Tignes - www.dissent-ski.com
Summer Courses in New Zealand
For the
more adventurous try a freeskiing course or heli skiing in New Zealand -
www.warrensmith-skiacademy.com.
Several ski/ snowboard instructor courses also run in the New
Zealand resorts. For those looking to come away with an instructors
qualification - www.snowskool.com,
www.skiinstructortraining.co.nz,
www.peakleaders.com. www.rookieacademy.com, www.basecampgroup.com
Skiing in South
America
Although most people think of the heat when they think about
South America, both Chile and Argentina have some of the world's best skiing.
You can take organised trips to both countries with www.snoworks.co.uk or www.andes.org.uk
And not to forget that in the UK we
have three of our own indoor snow slopes offering a variety of lessons and
courses on real snow all year round - the Ski Club of Great Britain
website www.skiclub.co.uk has a
comprehensive list and map of all the UK slopes.
If that's not
enough to tempt you and your skis are staying hidden for the summer months
remember the Ski Club still has masses of benefits valid for its members during
the summer i.e. airport parking, great value and excellent cover holiday
insurance, discounts off holidays booked with Crystal, Neilson, First Choice,
Mark Warner and more. Join the Club at www.skiclub.co.uk.

this information and more on its website www.skiclub.co.uk -

round.
