Kendal Snowsports Club
Description
Run as a purely voluntary organisation to encorage and pass on our love of Snowsports Formed as Kendal Ski club in 1984 after a meeting encoraged two hundred people each put in £10 to get things started and build their own slope and ski lodge on the side of the hill below Kendal Castle.
In 1997 following a successful bid for a lottery grant, the slope was totally rebuilt using the then untried Snowflex matting system and then extended in 2004.
The club was formed with the principle of skiing for anyone who wants to have a go. This was, still is, and always will be, the foundation stone of the club. The only change has been to embrace Snowboarding into this ethos.
We are a purely voluntary organisation. The people who greet you in the lodge and take your money, hand out tokens and set up the equipment for you are all members who have volunteered, as are the ground staff, club officers and our highly-trained team of instructors.
All monies are ploughed back into the club facilities. We all do it because at whatever level of ability, we all love skiing. The club's aim is to encourage anyone who wants to, to come and learn to ski.

If you've not yet booked your adult ski lessons then don't worry we still have places in beginner, intermediate and advanced classes on our Monday morning sessions and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays evening classes. Why not pop down to the club for a chat on Sunday when we are holding our 'open day' from 11 am to 3pm.

I think the whole club should recognise our maintenance team's efforts (all volunteers) with a big 'thank you' for repairing and preparing the slope, motors, tow's, safety equipment skis, boards and boots during the Summer break. Thanks guys...
ADULT & FAMILY LESSON ENROLLMENT Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th September 2016 7.00-9.00pm Come along to the club on either evening to meet the team, ask questions and enroll for classes for the coming season. For beginners its an opportunity to determine the best night to start, what you need to know and get measured up for the equipment. For those returning, its essential to come along, talk with the instructors, determine the level of skill and which class you will get best value from. We can also check your ski settings to see if there are any changes to your usual equipment.
