Autumn Dry Slope Programme 2026 - 4 week blocks
Block 1 at Glenmore Lodge - a focus on Alpine training with some freestyle to get you ready for the Winter.
Open to all skiers age 6 + trainees should be able to use the poma independently and link turns safely from the top of the slope. The coaches will assess your skiers ability on the first session and speak to you if they have any concerns. If you would like to discuss this before signing up please get in touch.
Monday 6 to 7pm or 7 to 8pm (26th Oct, 2nd, 9th and 16th Nov)
Wednesday 6 to 7 pm or 7 to 8pm (28th Oct, 4rd, 11th and 18th Nov)
As a guide, younger children generally do the earlier session and older children the later session. These sessions are more suited to children age 12 and under. If your child is over 12 and they would like to join please get in touch.
Spaces are limited. Sessions are subject to meeting a minimum number - if this threshold is not met, sessions may be merged.
There are two rates - one for members of Cairngorm Ski Club, and one for non-members. Please ensure you book the correct block - if you are not sure if your membership is current, please check your webcollect account or email membership@cairngormskiclub.co.uk.
You can take out membership here or renew on this link on the subscriptions page.
If you would like to speak to one of the coaches before booking, please email headcoach@cairngormskiclub.co.uk.
Parents are asked to remain at Glenmore Lodge during the training session.
In the event a session must be cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control — such as road closure due to snow or the dry slope being unavailable — CSC cannot refund the session fee, but we will endeavour to offer an alternative session
