Welcome to Western Counties!
We are a friendly and inclusive ski racing club affiliated with Snowsport England: our membership spans ages and ability levels from beginner racing to national competition.
As long as you have reached a safe recreational standard* and can use a button lift, you are welcome to come and join us at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, 6:30-8:30pm on Monday evenings.
*Recreational standard refers to the following: You must be able to link snowplough turns, control speed and safely stop when required. If you’re not quite up to these yet, Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre can offer lessons to help you:
