Ski Club of Ireland

The Exhilaration of a Ski Holiday

You don’t have to be a member to come on the club holiday. Besides the excellent tuition in a fantastic resort, what really makes the holiday is the camaraderie of the group.

The Exhilaration of a Ski Holiday

On a ski holiday the exhilaration of skiing is matched by its congeniality. The special world of sun and snow, slopes and chairlifts, brings quick and easy conversation and friendships which follow into the apres-ski life, long after the lifts have stopped, and the snow turns long-shadowed. The relaxed mood and physical well-being induced by the excitement of the day are enjoyed in the cosmopolitan and happy atmosphere of apres-ski activity.

Skiing makes a marvellous holiday, the resort a refreshingly new way of life, in all, an escape from the noisy humdrum of a grey winter. It is a return to the elemental, transporting one high into the mountains, beyond ice blue brooks and silent frozen waterfalls to a new world combining relaxation and exhilaration.

That is why skiing has become the widest participant sport in Europe, enjoyed by all ages and lifestyles and, having once had a ski holiday, skiers can’t wait to return to the snow. 

Ski Club of Ireland

The Ski Club wants to bring this world to you and to the many others who use our slopes every year. The Ski Club was formed 60 years ago by ski enthusiasts who organised winter sports holidays abroad each year. That tradition continues today for its members.   Non-members are very welcome to join us too for an additional fee of €50  (which entitles you to a free lesson or practice at Kilternan).  Indeed, there are generally more non-members than members on our trips. We especially encourage any individual who wants to ski but for many reasons must do so on their own, to come with us.  Within 24 hours, they will feel part of the group.

2 Holidays

2027 will see the Club organising 2 holidays –   Courchevel (Jan 9 to Jan 16) and Westendorf/Kitzbuhel (Feb 27 to Mar 6). The Courchevel holiday has a capacity for 24 skiers and the majority are regulars on this holiday. The holiday is fully booked already but we will have a Cancellation List should anyone drop out (which has happened in previous years).

Courcheval – Jan 2027 

The holiday in 2027 will be in the 3 Valleys (Courchevel) from Jan 9th to 16th with Dave Beattie and the Skivo2 Group, which we have used for many years. This will be a specially tailored 5-day course (one day free skiing) targeted at intermediate to advanced skiers with about eight people in each ski group. Tuition is all-day for the 5 days, with video feedback and coaching from the very best of instructors who have worked with the Ski Club for many years.   This is a terrific opportunity to raise your personal skiing performance to a higher level but always with enjoyment built into it. For advanced skiers, should snow conditions permit, off-piste skiing would be included.

People need to arrange their own flights, and the selected ones are EI552 Aer Lingus to Lyon and EI555 back to Dublin. Skivo2 provide the transfer between the airport and the resort.  Skivo2 provide accommodation and half board in Chalet Roger and Chalet Valeriane.  There will be a lot of socialising between those in the two chalets. 

Pricing from Skivo2 is in Sterling and therefore will depend on the exchange rate at the time of payment. The figure is likely to be circa €1480 for sharers and €1980 for the limited number of single rooms.

You don’t have to be a member to come on the club holiday. Besides the excellent tuition in a fantastic resort, what really makes the holiday is the camaraderie of the group.  

 

So, if you are interested in going and wish to get on the Cancellation List, please contact holidays@skiclub.ie.

Westendorf Feb 2027

The second club holiday in 2027 will be in Westendorf for the week commencing Saturday, February 27th.  We were last in Westendorf in 2015. It not only provides access to the Skivelt but, with a short local link bus, gives you access to the wonderful Kitzbuhel ski resort. 

Given the size of the group, we have had to split the group between two hotels. The hotels are a 3-minute walk from each other. The first is the Post Hotel, well known to many Ski Club members. While it is classified as a 3* hotel, it is a very professionally run,  friendly and welcoming family-run hotel, which offers fantastic spa facilities to its guests. It offers direct access to the slopes, with the closest ski lifts just 100 metres away. All the single rooms on the holiday will be in the Post Hotel at a price of €1,650.  There will be a small number of twin rooms for sharing in the Post Hotel for €1,275.

The second hotel is the 4* Hotel Schermer, which will only provide shared rooms at a higher price. It offers a range of excellent relaxation facilities for guests – a Finnish sauna, a Tirolean sweating room, a sauna and several steam baths. The heated indoor & outdoor swimming pools are great for a peaceful swim. The price for a shared room is €1895.

The February holiday caters for all grades of skier from near-beginner, through intermediate and advanced.   Ages range from young adults to people in their seventies, with the majority spread in between.   Many of those who have been on previous club holidays enrol in the local Ski School. Others prefer to free ski – the choice is yours.   For advanced skiers, it is hoped to get into the off-piste as much as possible. We encourage any individual or group who wants to ski but, for a variety of reasons, must do so on their own to come with us.  Within 24 hours, they will feel part of the group. 

We have a provisional number of rooms booked with the tour operator Topflight  Holidays, and it is very unlikely that we will get an increase.   As there is a finite number of rooms available in the hotels, it is strongly advised that bookings are made as early as possible.   So please contact holidays@skiclub.ie to place a deposit and book your place.
