Club Overview

Following the exciting merger of Snowsports and Ski Club, SSX is the University’s Snowsports Club. SSX has so much to offer whether you’re a seasoned pro or a total beginner.
 
To those looking to compete in BUCS, there are multiple opportunities to go fast or get upside down with trips running throughout the year for our freestyle or race teams. Race training happens weekly at the local dry slope and freestyle takes regular dry slope, diving and trampoline trips to nail those backflips. Beyond our obvious addiction to snow, our social calendar is probably the most exciting of any AU club, meaning SSX is a must even for those who prefer their ice in their drinks rather than under their feet. So far we have brought Shy FX and Sean Kingston to Timepiece (Exeter’s largest club), hosted an alpine Mountain Meal in Bierkeller and organised a 200 member Black Tie End of Season Dinner. Next year is going to be even better with bigger and more diverse socials so, skier or not, membership of SSX will not be regretted.
