Trainee Intake Tests

The trainee intake tests consist of a 2 day event where we get to judge your skiing and boarding ability, and you get to meet us to see what we do live on the hill. The next intake test weekend is scheduled for the 26th & 27th August 2023.

Please monitor this page and Facebook for any updates.

Applications for the intake test close midnight on Friday the 4th August 2023.
