 Poster: A snowHead

Found out today if you are a BASI member you get 1/2 price ski club of GB membership which as an individual is only 25.50.
As a ski club member you get 10% off BASI course fees for courses from 30th September - 1st May 2009. Only exceptions are GAP courses and for some weird reason Mountain safety and Common Theory.

I would have joined the Ski Club if Common Theory and Mountain Safety hadn't been exempted! Maybe the season after next if I'm planning Teach and Tech courses. It will save a bit of money which is good, but I can't see what the advantage is to either organisation of this arrangement.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

yes i saw that and thought it odd. Only reason i could think of is that maybe there's a smaller profit margin on these coures, therefore they can't afford to offer the discount?
Almost makes it worthwhile joining, doesn't it!

rob@rar, BASI instructors join the SCGB to get the discounts. SCGB members consider doing BASI courses?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Seems strange that SCGG get 10% discount off BASI courses, but BASI members pay full price

Spyderman, i had the same reaction when i first heard about it - BASI is a members' organistaion, so it seems a bit off to be offering another organisation's members a discount whilst we pay full price? However, I'm not going to complain, because by paying £25.50 to join SCGB and then get 10% off I can save money too...

skimottaret, probably, but I think I'd rather use my precious holiday weeks on training for the tech first.
Are you feeling more confident about your bumps skiing now?
P.S. Heard anything from CSCF yet?!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

beanie1, nope very un confident on bumps but thought i would give it a bash ans see how it goes, if i flunk out it will have been a good two week training course, if i pass time to start telemarking 
nothing from cscf

skimottaret, can see the logic behind it, it's probably the best training you could get. Trouble is i hate failing, so would be very stressed the entire two weeks! Think I'll wait until I'm more confident I would get it.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
beanie1, instead of training why not take the 1 week teach first pass that as well as getting a read on your chances for the tech...
