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' to start off the season in mid-December at Zell am See, and number of visits to various European
and World airline ski meetings. These meetings provide opportunities for better skiers to compete representing the Club, but also bring social
interaction with other skiers and airline staff from around the world, and some very entertaining aprés ski gatherings.
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.

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 GBP 135 for the jacket, and GBP 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 GBP 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).
If you are interested in any of the items then please let me know by post to the usual address or by email to:paul.j.turner@baski.org.uk)
