Grampian Primary Schools Summer Competition

Do you have kids at school that ski?

Aberdeen Snowsport Centre are running a fun team event on Friday 27^th May to try and encourage schools engage with snowsports. Would be good to see some school teams being entered from Gordon Skiers members.

Please see the Facts below for more information but feel free to email James our Race Convenor if you need more information or advice. racing@gordonskiers.com

What is the evening?

For skiers the competition will consist of a team dual slalom and a freestyle expression session.

Don't worry if they don’t have any freestyle or race specific training as we will have coaches on the day to support all participants.

For Snowboards it is individual runs which are timed and freestyle expression session. The freestyle expression session is very relaxed and will give primary school children the opportunity to try out maybe a new discipline under the supervision of our coaches.

Level?

This is an entry level competition suitable for any participant who can comfortably use all of our tows, link turns and control speed around cones. 

Both the freestyle expression session and the dual slalom will be giving participants the opportunity to take part in fun competition under the supervision of our experienced coaches.

How many to make a team?
