Ski Club of Great Britain launches Freshtracks holidays for winter 2023-2024

The Ski Club of Great Britain has launched its Freshtracks holiday programme for winter 2023-2024 with a number of new destinations, courses and chalets across the Alps, North America and Japan.

Designed to make the most out of the time on the mountain, Freshtracks holidays are tailored to ski ability levels that are then categorised as on or off-piste, as well as four further categories including All Mountain, Ski Touring, Weekend and Bucket List. Holidays are suitable for all levels of skier and snowboarder, from a minimum of an early intermediate (confident on blue runs and easy reds), right up to experts that can handle all conditions both on and off-piste.

Key to the success and popularity of Freshtracks holidays is being able to ski with like-minded people, with guides and instructors that are fully qualified and Ski Club reps that help to make the overall holiday experience more enjoyable with a social activity programme.

Holidays start on 24 November 2023 with the popular instruction weekend followed by the Premier Party, all in the high altitude resort of Tignes. They run through until 6 May 2024 with weekend skiing in Zermatt and Tignes. In total there are 157 holidays in more than 50 destinations.
