Activities
     | ESSKIA - English Schools Ski Association
Esskia (English Schools Ski Association) is an organisation which promotes ski racing competitions between school teams. Any school can affiliate to Esskia by requesting a registration for from the treasurer, John Thomson, by email to jmthomson@hotmail.com
Our busiest time is when our qualifier races are held at half a dozen ski centres around the country in September. Each team usually consists of four racers; the times of the best three are used to get the total time for the team. Teams that do well are invited to the English Finals in October. In November the British finals are contested between schools from England, Scotland and Wales.
Esskia is affiliated to the ISF through the NCSS (National Council for School Sport). The most prestigious event that any school child can aspire to through Esskia is to be selected to represent England at the ISF World Schools Ski Championships. Any individual who performs well in the September qualifying races may be invited to go for a week's snow training with an Esskia squad the following spring.
During the summer term Esskia runs a series of Summer Training Days in each area of England. These days are open to anyone, including children who do not belong to an Esskia registered school. The dates for these can be found on the Esskia website after the Easter holiday. www.esskia.co.uk
