Hotel Miage Open Day
You are invited to a BSA open day at the Hotel Miage on Saturday 6 August. Cervinia summer camp trainees stopping over at the hotel will join BSA staff and visiting parents along with local ski clubs and dignitaries for an early evening cocktail and pizza party. We hope lots of BSA folk can attend. Invitation to follow on the BSA blog and facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/thebritishskiacademy

Winter Season
Our winter base will be open from 03 December 2016 to 15 April 2017 with ski training and tutorial support available throughout the winter term. Many thanks to Brendan McCormick who hands over the tutorial reins to Penny McLennan after ten years of excellent service.
Our main training hills will be in Pila and Crevacol. Both resorts offer easy access from Aosta and snow-sure training pistes over 2000 metres.

Pila is one of the world’s most popular destinations for international ski racing. In 2016, from 6 January to 6 April the resort hosted 31 FIS Alpine events across all disciplines. Crevacol is a little-known gem, a quiet ski hill close to the Grand Saint Bernard tunnel, with FIS homologation in all disciplines except Downhill. Anyone who is new to the Aosta valley is in for a treat. Great snow, great pistes, and great restaurants at affordable prices.

Parents, for accommodation at our races or throughout the season, try www.pilaski.co.uk or contact info@pilabeds.co.uk  Further information, including BSA 2017 fees can be see here: www.britskiacad.org.uk
If you would like to discuss your racer's progress and any aspect of their programme, fitness conditioning or equipment, please don’t hesitate to call.
Best wishes,
