Standish Ski Club
Started over 20 year ago, and founded by John Ashurst and Dave Cunliffe, Standish
Ski Club have been organising several skiing trips
every year since then. As John says, "our club is designed for all standards of
snow sports, from complete novices to the very experienced. Its not just for experts,
its for anyone who enjoys skiing and snowboarding with like-minded people, and
find that being helped to form ready made groups of friends at the different levels
makes their holidays far more fun. When people first learn to ski, they usually
find that having a great bunch of fellow learners makes a tremendous difference
to the experience. We just try to make sure that that's what happens every time
and every trip". The Club has regular club nights and social events to which everyone
is welcome - just e-mail or call for the date of the next one.

"The trips have a good variety to them", says Dave Cunliffe. "We have run trips
for mainly families of 20 to 50 people, and for adult parties of 100+ who really
like the apres-ski nightlife. When we land in town its not a case of asking where's
the best party town? - we take no chances and just bring a big one with us!
The January trips are usually the best for the European night life but the USA
trips are starting to catch up".
