Ski

Schools

The Ski Club has a long association with schools, providing pupils with ski instruction and practice facilities. The best skiers learn to ski at an early age. It is a skill which the individual will value all their lives, enabling them to enjoy winter holidays with their friends and families. Schools can contribute to this enjoyment, as well as enhancing their curriculum, by organising classes for their pupils with the Ski Club. 

The benefits are obvious – learning a new and valuable skill, physical exercise, fun and enjoyable activity. 

School Group Classes

The schools programme runs from September to April. The club is open for schools classes between 10.00 & 18.30 Mon - Fri. School group classes are 1.5 hours long, and allowing time to kit out and return gear, the overall visit is about 2 hours. 

One class costs €18 per pupil. A course of four classes costs €60 per pupil. 

Guidelines: 

• The Ski Club's Indemnity form signed by a parent/guardian for each pupil must be presented on arrival 
• The Ski Club provides skis, boots and poles for each pupil at no extra cost 
• Each pupil must bring gloves and wear warm, flexible clothing. Waterproof clothing should be brought in case of rain as classes go ahead regardless of weather 
• We must be notified in advance if any pupil has a physical or learning difficulty which could affect his/her skiing. We will do our utmost to accommodate them, but may not be able to provide one-to-one instruction which such pupils may require. 
• A teacher or designated responsible adult accompaning the group must be at the Ski Club during the entire session 
• We must know the number of participants in advance and whether all pupils are beginners or if any have skied before
