Club Benefits
Improve skiing skills through fun
Our programs range from school holiday programs through to 28 day intensive training for skiers with racing ambitions. We cater for a wide range of ages and abilities and our coaches take care to ensure all athletes are grouped in ability throughout the program as they progress.
Your athlete will meet and ski with a whole new bunch of friends that come from all over - Snowy Monaro regions, Yass, Canberra, Sydney and the Illawarra. Friends for life!
Membership Benefits
Our St Moritz Clubhouse - Is located behind the Ski Patrol office at Merritts. conveniently located opposite Merritts Mountain restaurant, its a great place to meet up with your athlete for lunch, or retreat with other St Moritz parents when the weather is not so hot. Financial members are welcome to use the clubhouse not on just program days, but all throughout the season. The clubhouse is very cosy and complete with a microwave, kettle and sandwich press. We all pitch in to keep the snow out, the warmth in and all rubbish removed.
In 2019, we are so pleased to announce that St Moritz has secured Karbon Snowsports as our official uniform supplier. The standard and intensive program fees include the use of our new club uniform jacket for the whole season. Look after it and wear it with pride! Holiday program participants will get complimentary usage of 2018 uniform jackets.
Merch! We have a brand new merchandise dept. We have a hoodie currently available with many more items to come. Stay tuned…
A mountain man - every year we nominate one of our committee members as a mountain man. This person is your main contact on the hill on program days should you be running late or need to get hold of your athlete. The mountain man also makes sure your athlete’s lunch is transported to the clubhouse every program morning and back to Friday Flat in the afternoon.
