Marden's Club is a ski club formed in 1920s for the enjoyment of "skiing the mountains",
whether that be on the piste, ski-racing or off piste. Originally known as the Grisons Ski Club,
the name was changed to Marden's Club when it was reformed in Klosters in 1929, in memory of Jock
Marden, a prominent skier who died climbing in the Andes in 1928.
Still centered in Klosters, Marden's remains a social ski club with a focus on racing and junior
training. Marden's currently has around 500 members with membership of the club open to regular
visitors to Klosters who are proposed and seconded by existing members. It organises races both
over New Year and at Easter while during the Easter holidays the club also runs a junior race
training program for children aged between 7 and 14, who meet the necessary entry requirements.
The aspiration of the committee is to provide an exciting winter program of events to cater for
the changing requirements of its members and foster a camaraderie and passion for skiing and ski
racing."
