Midland Ski Club is not all about racing! It has produced many notable skiers from general recreational skiers to off piste experts that have written books, extreme skiers on the world circuit, renown instructors and coaches to race champions over the years. Established in 1965, it is one of the oldest and biggest ski clubs in the UK catering for a large diversity in skiing standards and skier age profiles form 6 years to the retired senior citizens in their 80's. Midland Ski Club is a great ski social club that offers regular training, annual trips and holidays in Europe and occasionally to North and South America. The club has won many awards over the years and I am very proud as Head Coach to be part of that journey and its continuous evolution. Training takes place at Ackers Adventure, Birmingham on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, also at Swadlincote Snowsports Centre on Wednesdays from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Both virtually every week of the year. By attending regularly one of the Midland Ski Club or SKIbetter performance sessions you will arrive in resort ready to ski better than before, be fitter, and more confident than when you left the resort last time.

Skiing "JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT..."  Decide why you like skiing and work on enhancing your enjoyment factor. Safety ENJOYMENT learning. For some enjoyment might be the challenge, for others the risk, the adrenalin, showing your skill or for others being in the mountains, feeling the cold air, going past tree lined slopes, seeing high cliffs, doing jumps and riding rails and then there is the technical aspects of flowing, control, feel of the forces of nature, the interaction with the snow, the social atmosphere, the apres ski chat and banter. But it is always about engaging your emotions. By skiing "better, stronger for longer" you will hopefully, some would say inevitably, have even more fun than you did before you improved. Similarly if your are technically better, physically stronger, fitter, more agile and have greater endurance you will have more confidence to ski more challenging terrain, snow conditions, and ski longer pitches, leading to even great experiences, more exhilarated skiing and more fun.  I can help you achieve all of these objectives

SKIbetter can also arrange group sessions outside of Midlands Ski Club Sessions at various locations such as indoor snow facilities like Chill Factore as well as outdoor artificial slopes in and around the Midlands.  What Where and When...
