Two recent graduates of the Saturday morning sessions!

Junior Ski Academy is a PERFECT starting point for any kid from complete beginners to aspiring racers.

These two went from Saturdays to racing in the UK and in Europe and now both race and instruct so come and give it a go!

With a friendly group of nationally qualified instructors, it’s the perfect time to try something new.

Great to see such a strong turnout for the 2026 2027 instructor training !!

It’s been another strong year for maintenance and improvements from fencing to matting and more. Can’t wait for the season to start!

**LIFETIME HONORARY MEMBERSHIP - alert 3!**

We’re delighted to announce that Ralph Howle has been granted lifetime honorary membership. Ralph is another living legend at the club, having gone from junior racer himself to being the watchful eye behind a generation of racers who’ve gone on to compete nationally and internationally.

For many years he has worked his way up through the levels of instructor and coaching qualifications, now holding the highest qualification level of any instructor currently working at the club, to become our Head Race Coach. You’ll find his own kids gracing the slope, living proof that the coaching sticks close to home. His value to the club goes far beyond the timing gates too - as a past committee Chair he’s helped build the structure and processes that keep TASC running smoothly to this day.

Endlessly warm, generous and dedicated, he’s also the go-to wise counsel on all things skiing and all things club history - ask him anything and settle in.

Thankyou Ralph - further recipient announcements to follow!

LIFETIME HONORARY MEMBERSHIP - alert 2!

We’re delighted to announce that Chris Norton has been granted lifetime honorary membership. Chris is a living legend at the club, sharing the same baseball cap and natural speed as Michael Schumacher!

For many years he has been a leading instructor and committee member with thousands of happy lessons in his rear view mirror. He coached his son and others to an exceptionally high level of racing. For most, he’s the voice at the end of the phone or the red capped instructor creating a party atmosphere for hundreds of kids each season.

More recently he has created an adult race ‘department’, developed our website and booking system and become the Slope Manager, allocating sessions and managing complaints. You’ll find him skiing fast or driving with similar vigour.

As we head into the new season….Thankyou Chris - further recipient announcements to follow!
