Snowsports Club
Southampton University Ski and Snowboard Club, or as we call it, SUSSC, is one of the largest societies of the Athletics Union. Our society wants to encourage you, no matter what level you have, to give snowsports a try or perhaps just to join us in our socials! We organise two big trips a year: one in Christmas and one in Easter where we hit the mountains for one of the most amazing weeks of your life - these are open to anyone regardless of their level of involvement in the society! Join our weekly training at the local dry slopes where we prepare ourselves to smash the inter-university events of the year and become part of one of our teams: Freestyle or Racing. Head over to our website: sussc.co.uk, facebook: @sussc or instagram: @susscagram to find more information about how to join! - SUSSC love!
SUSSC is not only one of the largest clubs in the Athletic Union, but also one of the biggest university Snow Sports clubs in the country! 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.
Every year, SUSSC, in partnership with NUCO, organises two HUGE one-week trips where we hit the Alps, and they are not to be missed. We run two a year, but be warned, they sell out fast. This year, we are heading to Les Deux Alpes at Christmas and Les Arcs at Easter!
Following another successful year, Team SUSSC are on a high and looking forward to another great year of success in both the Kings racing league and the many BUCS events throughout the year. Our Race and freestyle teams have training every week. Last year, our mixed racing teams came 3rd and 6th, and the ladies team came 2nd in the KINGS Southern League AND our mixed teams came 2nd at BUCS National Indoor Snowsports Competition! Our freestyle team also compete in multiple competitions in the UK, including BUCS, BUDS and AJAM, where lots of our team made it into the semi-finals and finals! But don't be deterred, there really is an opportunity for everyone to compete, regardless of ability. We also provide beginner and intermediate lessons for those of you who want to have some practice before heading out to the Alps.
