ZigZag Ski Club
Welcome to the ZigZag Ski Club’s second season! Since starting the ski school, we have dreamt of creating a weekly group to get kids excited about skiing in a fun environment with their friends. Despite the fact we could only launch it in January 2011; the ZigZag ski club's first season was a great success. We aim to continue developing it while maintaining these fundamental concepts:
- Inclusivity, not exclusivity. Our club is open to anyone and everyone who'd like to take part, and we aim to give equal attention to each child, regardless of their level of ability. We aim to nurture every child's love for skiing.
- All-round excellence. We aim to teach children to ski well in all conditions and over all types of terrain. If there's fresh snow, we'll go exploring off-piste. If they're keen to jump, we'll teach some tricks. If the children want to go fast, we'll set some gates and teach them racing techniques. The main aim is to learn, and to have a great time doing it. We aim to produce great little skiers.
- Safety first. We aim to teach a high level of respect for the mountain environment. Children will be educated about avalanche safety, ski etiquette and what to do if there's an accident. Older children will be taught how to use up-to-date avalanche safety equipment, along with an understanding of snow conditions and avalanche risks as they’ll become more interested in all terrain and off-piste skiing. We aim to produce responsible, educated skiers.
- Challenging. Ski Club kids are usually regular skiers with parents who're capable skiers themselves. We aim to teach your children things you cannot teach them yourself and to take them places you can perhaps not reach yourself. Our team is made up of professional experts, so your children will learn the right way, right from the beginning. You'll be astounded by the things they're capable of.
