If it's NOT your first visit here, you'll spot that we've undergone a MASSIVE rebuild - courtesy of our new sponsors - Off the Piste - and the site will, without doubt, become the key port-of-call for all student skiers and snowboarders in the UK! Off The Piste offer student skiers and snowboarders great, affordable and expertly organised holidays in some of Europe's most amazing resorts. In 2008/9 they successfully organised the travel arrangements for over 11,000 passengers... the first time a UK operator has achieved this level of carriage. Timely accurate information, knowledgeable office staff, well trained resort reps and an easy to use booking system are just some of the benefits of booking with them... and now they promise to be ideal partners for Kings Ski Club!
Some history and background...
Kings Ski Club was started in 1978 by graduates of King's College London wishing to set up a national ski club for students. Through its history, Kings Ski Club has offered its own holiday packages, run seeded alpine races on the British race calendar, and so much more. See our section on club history for more on this. Today Kings runs a comprehensive dual slalom race series on dry ski slopes across England & Wales and welcomes both skiers and snowboarders... and its NOT just for students!
The club is a non-profit organisation and run entirely by volunteers, most of whom raced with Kings during their time at university. We aim to keep dry-slope racing fun and inclusive for people of all standards, and teams from more than 40 universities are represented in the league races. In addition to the core dual slalom racing the club also runs an annual event in the Alps on real snow!! We plan to extend this event again in the coming years with the help and support of our new sponsors.

This year up north there has been a bit of a change as we have merged the North’s West & East Leagues together. This means we will now have one race in Sunderland and Rossendale with two races in 
The midlands league, home to the infamous Brumski, have spent the last few years at the Ackers dry slope near Birmingham after Swadlincote was resurfaced with snowflex making turning somewhat trickier. Since most of the skiers have now mastered the art of turning we have decided to make things a bit more challenging by returning to Swadlincote for the first race of the season!
Kings Western League have nick-named themselves the Great Western League having won 5 of the Last 8 National Titles. The region which covers 
The London and Southern League is the largest of the Kings leagues, with nearly 30 mixed teams and around 10 ladies and 10 snowboard teams every year, making the competition intense. With 5 different league winners in the last 5 years it is always an open competition, and the decider always seems to go down to the last race of the season.
