Racing Competitions

Dry Slope Competitions

Dry slope ski racing caters for all abilities, from almost complete beginners to international standard racers. Each racer has to register with Snow Sport England and is given a membership number so they can enter races.

Racers are awarded seed points once they start racing and this informs them of their national ranking (- the lower the number then better you are – top racers have 0 points). Many of our Pendle skiiers are ranked highly.

Summer and winter race leagues

For those who want to try out racing for the first time, summer and winter race leagues are held at the club and surrounding venue. These are open to anyone and are great fun Club Nationals
