    Freeski Club UK

    Welcome to the website of Freeski Club UK.

    We've been catering for UK skiers since April 1997 so we thought it was about time you had your own club! All the goodness of Snowboard Club UK, but for those who like to point in the right direction. Our aim is to keep you informed and get you involved both on and off the hill.

    Our online and offline communities are friendly and enthusiastic. Create a free account and start building your profile.

    Club Membership

    Snowboard Club launched in October 2004 and we know a large proportion of our members are skiers. All our members save £100s on equipment, holidays and slope time.

    Club Bashes are a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and have a laugh on the slopes in the UK and abroad, no matter how you slide.

    In 2015, Action Sports Club launched and Freeski Club UK is now just one club of many, providing more discounts across more sports for all members.

    Topic: Rome Snowboard from 2006
    Posted by patrick21 on 2 October 2019 - 4:35pm
    Hi all,

    I bought a Rome snowboard from a ski/snowboarding store in California sometime around 2006, a few years after Rome just started as a company, and was told that back then it was one of the best available (I think it was a custom/rare model). Unfortunately, it was later destroyed (long story), and now I am in the market to get a new one from one of the many companies out there.

    Before doing so, I wanted to ask if my Rome snowboard was actually any good compared to what is on the market now? Should I be regretting that it was destroyed, or are there better snowboards out there now that make Rome boards pale in comparison?

    Thanks to share your perspective so I can get over my unfortunate loss and look forward to something new and exciting!

    Best bet is to head some where you can test several boards out. I think the Shop at Hemel will let you try boards.
    I think you being told Rome was the best brand may have been a bit of sales patter, they do make sick stuff though.
    There are loads of awesome brands out there.
