Ski Holiday Ideas
Skiing & Snowboarding Ideas from the Beginner to Expert
A while ago the Ski Club of Great Britain launched UK’s first dedicated snowsports internet TV channel SkiTV.co.uk. SkiTV.co.uk showcases the best ski and snowboard films on the internet, offering a wide range of inspirational programmes.
As television and the internet start to merge, users want to choose what they watch, when they want to watch it. SkiTV.co.uk will allow viewers to select films of their choice at any time of day or night.
The channel will offer the finest extreme skiing and boarding
action as well as leading snowsports events, instructional films,
safety guides, resort guides and environmental features.
Laura Chamberlain, Ski Club of Great Britain's Head of New Media
and Information says, “Internet TV is taking off in a big
way. Over 9 million people in the UK now have broadband in their
homes and the number is increasing daily.
Just as the Ski Club led the way by launching skiclub.co.uk over
10 years ago - currently the UK’s most comprehensive snowsports
website with over 1 million unique users a year - now the Ski Club
are using the latest in technology to stream the best skiing and
boarding videos over the internet 24 hours a day.”
SkiTV will stand as its own website, SkiTV.co.uk but will also
be linked and promoted from skiclub.co.uk. SkiTV viewers will have
unlimited viewing for an annual fee of £10. Ski Club members
will have unlimited viewing as part of their membership. SkiTV.co.uk
launches on November 1st 2006.

Ski Safety Tips and Information
Responsibility Code
Skiing can be enjoyed in many ways: using alpine, snowboard, telemark, cross country, or other specialized ski equipment; such as that used by disabled or other skiers. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy the slopes, always show courtesy to others, and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce.
Observe the code listed below, and share with other skiers the responsibility for a great skiing experience.
- Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. - You must not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible from above.
Whenever starting down hill or merging into a trail, look uphill, and yield to others. - Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
- Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
- Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride, and unload safely.
- Know the code. It's Your Responsibility
