Rebecca Gallagher
After learning to ski in Australia aged 8, I have been a passionate skier since. It is with great fortune that i have skied in Australia, Europe and America, giving me the opportunity to enjoy many different types of skiing. Now, as Ski Club Rep, I love the variety of skiing and skiers. It is wonderful to ski indifferent reports, on different terrains with all types of skiers. All with one commonality - a real passion for the sport.
When I'm not on skis, I work, managing large teams through transformational change, and have two teenagers to keep my busy!

We offer a Ski Club Insurance policy which provides the cover we require for all bookings. This policy can be found here: Ski Club Travel Insurance – Ski Club Of Great Britain

The policy should also include cover against losses caused by the effects or consequences of Covid-19.
Due to the type of holidays that you will be booking with us, we also advise that your policy should include skiing off-piste without a guide. Please note, insurance premiums must be paid at the same time as booking in order for the package holiday or single service cancellation cover to be effective. It is also advised to keep your insurance details with you while you are on your holiday. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
