Bearsden Ski Club was formed more that 40 years ago by a small band of enthusiasts. Located in the middle of Bearsden the club quickly grew to be recognised as one of the major influencers in Scottish ski-ing producing many world class skiers including Olympian Lesley Beck and now Douglas Crawford.

40 years on, the club is based at the West of Scotland Snowsports Centre in Bearsden, Glasgow, and boasts a membership of circa 1200 skiers, boarders and social animals. Following the proud traditions of the club a number of skiers are now in the full time British Team.

Having spent circa £1million in 2005/2006the club now provides one of the most advanced dry slopefacilities in Britain incorporating Main alpine slope, two nursery slopes and the fantastic freeride slope for boarders and freeriders.

Check out all the facilities and activities available to members and non-members throughout their web site at www.skibearsden.co.uk/  and go along for a go, we promise a great experience.

Freeride - Skiing and Snowboarding

 

The freestyle slope at Bearsden is one of the best in the country and hosts a number of well established events each year. Combine this with a plethora of up and coming riders on both skis and snowboards and you have a great facility to improve your skills. With the new rail park being added to the existing kickers and quarterpipe setup, all artificial slope disciplines will be covered.We also have a seasonal training program for aspiring and competitive athletes. This is on a Wednesday night, with exclusive use of the slope for the sessions. With a strong coaching staff who have been competitive athletes or working at national level, they can help you improve no matter what level you are. Combined with snow training, competition travel and dryland support, it is the only seasonal freestyle program in the West of Scotland.
