[5] Sir Arnold Lunn was a central figure in this period of the Ski Club's history and the development of ski racing, setting the first modern slalom in Murren in 1922 and helping to persuade the International Olympic Committee to include downhill and slalom in the 1936 Winter Olympic Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
In the mid-1920s, the Ski Club began providing snow and weather reports for national newspapers.
In France, the club operates an 'Instructor Led Guiding Service' due to legal issues with volunteer leaders.
E. C. Pery, later the Earl of Limerick, DSO and President of the Ski Club of Great Britain (1925–27) and was first awarded in 1930.
Previous recipients of the medal include inspirational explorers, ski pioneers, Olympic and Paralympic champions, scientists and authors.
Arnold Lunn was the first to be presented with the Pery medal in 1930 (he was also knighted for services to British skiing and Anglo-Swiss relations in 1952) and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Frans Klammer, Konrad Bartelski, Alain Baxter and Hermann Maier feature among some of the well-known recipients.
The Ski Club of Great Britain has provided snow sports insurance for over 40 years.
