Glasgow Schools Ski Championships

We are delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for a select group of pupils from King’s Park Secondary School to take part in the Greater Glasgow & Clyde Schools Ski Race Competition. This fantastic event will take place on Friday 5th June 2026 at Glasgow Ski Centre, Bellahouston Park.

This competition brings together young skiers from across the Glasgow area, offering pupils the chance to represent KPSS in a fun, supportive, and competitive environment while further developing their skiing skills.

Event Overview
Participants will compete as individuals while also earning points for King’s Park Secondary School. The competition format includes:

  • Two timed runs on a Slalom course
  • Two timed runs on a Giant Slalom (GS) course
  • Final results based on the best run from each discipline combined

Who Can Take Part?
This event is open to confident skiers who are Level 4 or above and capable of skiing parallel and independently down the main slope.

Parents and carers are very welcome to attend and support our young people on the evening. If transport arrangements are an issue, please get in touch with the school and we will do our best to assist.

This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to challenge themselves, represent the school with pride, and enjoy an exciting sporting experience.

See Mrs Ferguson if you would like to take part, if you have any questions or would like further information.

We look forward to seeing our pupils hit the slopes and represent KPSS! And hopefully, this could mark just the beginning of our KP Ski Race Team!
