Welcome
to the Oxfordshire Ski Club
OSC
was founded in 1973 by a small group of enthusiastic skiers.
Their aim then was to 'promote and maintain interest in
skiing and its associated activities'. This is still the
clubs main aim.
From
a small and dedicated band of a few grew, to the present
day, a thriving club run by the members for members, and
only seeking to cover costs!
The
club meets at O.U.P.
Sports Club at Jordan Hill, next to North Oxford Golf
Club, from September through to April, normally meeting
on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month.
We
have an active social
programme, including interesting speakers throughout
the winter evenings. We visit Xscape
in Milton Keynes and have regular monthly skiing sessions
at High
Wycome Summit dry ski slope. Due to a serious fire there
these arrangements are currently suspended.
We
normally provide regular ski
lessons on the artificial slope at Wycombe
Summit, rated as the longest and best slope in the UK.
These lessons take place with the Club's own qualified ESC
instructors on evenings convenient to the Instructors and
the High Wycombe slope. Due to the fire again these arrangements
are currently suspended.
Ski
holidays are arranged by various OSC members to European,
American and Canadian ski resorts.
A
monthly Newsletter provides information on activities, general
interest and features provided by club members.
As
a club we receive discounts from various snow-sports
shops in the area.
So
there you have it!
If
you are interested in skiing, whether as a novice or an
expert, we will have something for you, so why don't you
come along and join us. You will be made very welcome.
