The Masters Slalom is a ski race day built for the 35-and-over crowd. You take on a proper slalom course set with gates, ski two timed runs, and your best combined time decides where you finish. Racers are split into age categories, so you are always up against your own generation.
It is competitive, but it is also a brilliant, sociable day out. Old racers, club skiers and confident all-mountain types all line up together to find out who still has it.

Age 40+Questions
Masters Slalom FAQs.
No. You just need to be a confident parallel skier who can control their speed and link turns. Plenty of racers are former club skiers, but plenty more are simply keen all-mountain skiers giving the gates a go.
Racers must be 35 or over and are grouped into bands. Exact bands are confirmed on the day and on the booking page.
You ski two timed runs through the slalom and your best combined time decides your placing. Clean, consistent runs usually beat one wild fast run with a mistake.
Your own skis, plus a helmet, which is required. Standard ski gear is fine, you do not need a full race suit. If you need to hire skis or a helmet, let our team know when you book.
