Welcome to the
British Airways Ski Club
internet site.

The Club operates as a special interest section of the British Airways Club and section members are required to be paid up members of that club.
The Members, their families, and guests (over 16), are able to enjoy organized ski and social activities and the Section is generally able to draw on a wealth of contacts throughout the world when organising ski trips.

Our principal activities are a 'Warm-Up Week' mid-December in Zell am See, and our 'Club Championship Week' mid-January, in Bad Hofgastein, both in Austria. Also, teams are selected to represent the airline at various European and World airline ski meetings. New members of any standard are most welcome, also snowboarders. Our aim is to provide superior ski instruction for all abilities, with enthusiasm to improve being the main criterion, rather than achieved proficiency. We use good hotels and obtain excellent value for money, all adding up to a quality ski & fun formula with extras - some challenging, some entertaining - that you could not find on a commercial package tour.

CLUB WEEK
Bad Hofgastein, Austria
This is our third visit to Bad Hofgastein and offers all the facilities we have come to expect plus more.
The attractive town has a bustling centre and excellent amenities, not to mention the famous spas. The skiing and boarding is superb - you need almost never take the same piste twice in a week. Advanced skiers will enjoy a varied choice of black runs and plenty of off piste.
Accommodation is Alpina Sporthotel, a personally-managed 4-star hotel, located just a short walk from the centre of town. The hotel also provides' wellness facilities and a swimming pool. A regular Ski bus goes directly from the front of hotel.

The members of the BA Ski Club have now acquired a standard ski outfit. The advantages of this are two fold :
1) We would look like a team when we compete at events such as those hosted by ASCA, NAASF and IASF.
2) We can get hold of some really good kit (Spyder) really cheap (compared to UK prices - see below).
This is the choosen design of a midnight blue jacket with red, white and blue stripes and a discreet British Airways Ski Club / Speedmarque logo on the front. Matching pants are also available. The pictures above show the actual jackets and pants..
Orders are placed in the spring ( by mid-April at latest ) for delivery in the autumn ( mid-November ). The cost will be in the region of £135 for the jacket, and £125 for the pants, all inclusive of tax and delivery.
(Only for BA Clubs/Ski Club members of course!)

For orders and more details please contact Paul Turner
(0208 738 3543 or email paul.j.turner@baski.org.uk).
A deposit of £50 per item will be required.

So you've got the jacket .. Now what? aka More Ski Club Clothing.

You may be aware that we have had some Ski Club clothing made up, at price levels below that of the jackets. Items available include a cap (GBP 3), a quarter Zip Fleece (GBP 15) and a sweatshirt (GBP 12). These items are available in Navy with the BA Ski Club logo embroidered on them (as per the ski jackets).
