Welcome to Midland Ski Club

Since we were founded in 1965, MSC has provided all things Alpine skiing to skiers of all ages in the Midlands and beyond. We hold regular race training on dry slopes, social functions, holidays and training weeks on snow.

Thinking of joining us? Please go here to apply.

If you wish to train with us, you can try us out twice before joining our club. Sorry, but we cannot take beginners, snowboarders or adaptive skiers. Please contact the slope facilities for classes they offer. Skiers must be able to ski in controlled link turns, stop and use a drag lift safely. Outdoor long sleeved wear, helmet and gloves to be worn. Equipment hire is included if required.

We have a taster programme for potential members to sample what we have to offer at the introductory price of £5 a time for up to 2 coached sessions.

Taster sessions are available fortnightly:

• Swadlincote Wednesday 18:00 to 19:30
• Ackers Adventure in Birmingham on Friday 18:00 to 19:30
• Ackers Adventure general skiing Thursday 18:00 to 20:00.

Our on-line booking system is available here or via the widget on this page. Booking cut-off is 24 hours before the session. After that time, the session will no longer be visible to book. If you are then unable to come, we will accept cancellations.

Dry slope training.

We ski four evenings a week. Full details of the programme can be found at Midland ski club dryslope training
