Whether you're a skier or snowboarder, racer or freestyler, beginner, alpine god, or just here for the après, SUSSC welcomes you with open arms!

Our long-term friendship with NUCO continues this year with two incredible ski trips over the Christmas break and Easter. Both the Christmas and Easter trips can be an intense week of skiing hard, après-ing hard, and partying even harder with up to 100 other Southampton students; or they can be a relaxed ski holiday to unwind and get away at a budget-friendly price point.

Start off your Christmas holidays the correct way, from December 12th – 19th SUSSC will be taking on Val-Thorens with full energy, commitment and silliness! An action-packed week of slopes, après, and tonnes of NUCO-organised events to get hyped for! This is a trip for everyone, no matter your attendance in semester one. We welcome all and can’t wait for you to join us on a table at après this Christmas!

Easter’s location is yet to be announced but what we can say is that it’ll be equally as terrific in another incredible location!

SUSSC in L2A (Easter 2026)

For those speed demons we host regular slalom race training where professional coaches can perfect your skiing for a few hours before we head off to the pub to unwind. Race training is accompanied by 4 competitions in the southern league of Kings across the year. We typically bring two mixed teams and a ladies team, previously one of the top performing ladies teams in the league! The mixed teams regularly do incredibly well across competitions and have repeatedly made it to Kings finals at the end of the year! Come along to race training at any ability and we will be sure to sharpen you up and get you racing ASAP!

Beginner racer competing in BUCS

For all you park rats, we also host regular freestyle training sessions at a nearby slope. As long as you can link turns, you’ll fit right in, from learning the basics of popping over a one-foot jump to throwing yourself sideways down a rail we know how to do freestyle here at SUSSC. Freestyle will be accompanied by a new competition this year being FUSE, a king’s style freestyle comp so don’t miss the debut of that!

One of our top freestylers

Uniting both the race team and the freestyle team are the BUCS Autumn Dryslope Championships (BUDS) and the BUCS Indoor Championships. Where both teams head to compete for the university against other Snowsports societies across the UK, previously proving SUSSC’s insane ski ability and getting podium places on both disciplines. The skills displayed here are on a whole new level, even as a spectator these aren’t something to miss!

But if you’re a beginner don’t worry, for we have dedicated training sessions at the local dryslope to get your skills attuned. Perfect for anyone pre-trip feeling a bit out of touch with their ski legs or if you’re looking to give Snowsports a go for the first time. We are sure after our excellent beginner training you’ll be ready to get involved with one of our comp teams!

Or just come along for our university-wide known socials and parties to meet a whole new community of great people from all over the world. It’s really a community for all!

So, join up through our Instagram page (@susscagram), just turn up to our socials, or shoot one of the committee a message. We are at your disposal to get you involved with SUSSC!

Much love!
