Barrel staves
Barrel staves are among the very first pieces of snow sports equipment ever invented – simple, rustic and surprisingly good fun. We’ll set up a short parallel slalom course on gentle terrain for your group. You’ll then compete against each other on these historic barrel staves and experience a very special kind of fun in the snow.
The barrel staves are designed so that you can take part in normal winter boots – no ski equipment required.

Here’s how the barrel-staving experience works
- Preparing a simple parallel slalom
- Introduction to the equipment
- A relaxed competition with plenty of humour
- Fun and exercise are clearly the main focus
Ideal as an activity for companies, groups or as part of a wider programme.
