The Ski Club is in existence for 60 years and is 50 years at its base in Kilternan, D18 N704.  Over that time its ski slopes have been developed to become a national amenity for winter sports.  The facilities at Kilternan are now recognised as one of the finest artificial skiing centres in Europe.  Significant grants from Sports Ireland have helped us achieve this level of technical excellence.
