Gay Outdoor Club: Skiing

GOC is not in the business of providing regular downhill skiing weekends in resorts, but there are skiing trips advertised from time to time and members often get together to plan their own trips, so it is always worth keeping an ear to the ground or using the free adverts in the Outdoors magazine as a way of advertising a private trip you may be thinking of organising. GOC does not, of course, take any responsibility over private trips.

Cross-country skiing is more within the general remit of GOC’s activities and it is worth watching both the Mountaineering Group’s programme (which often includes a cross-country trip in Scotland in February or March) and the Highland Group’s listings. Because of the uncertainty of the Scottish winter, advertised trips may in the end have to become hillwalking trips, but it is just as likely that a trip advertised as a hillwalking one might end up including skiing at short notice because of the onset of the right conditions.
