Qualified ATC staff provide instruction and leadership on the slopes. Their National Governing Body (NGB) qualifications include those issued by BASI, CSIA, PSIA and Snowsport Scotland.
Several of our qualified staff learned to ski on the first expeditions in Scotland or on later ones in Germany. Most have never missed a year since and know our ski areas really well.
Their personal commitment to Alpine Adventure is exemplified by the fact that they have paid out significant sums of their own money to obtain and then maintain their skiing qualifications.
Our ski leaders travel out in advance of the main party and spend at least a day undergoing refresher training before skiing with cadets.
Other ATC staff provide back-up to the ski leaders on the slopes and help to run the evening activity programme.
Every day a designated member of staff provides safety cover. They have access to a hire car and, if required, take any casualty to hospital for a medical check up.
We are always keen to attract new members of adult staff. You don’t have to be an expert skier – you can join in with the cadet groups to learn. All we require is a willingness to help, bags of energy and above all a massive sense of humour!
Anyone with these essential qualifications should contact Bristol and Gloucestershire Wing Headquarters (Tel 01452 722931).
