Bath Spa Snowsports

Our society caters for everyone; from boarders to skiers, beginners to pros and most importantly those who love the mountains!

Bath Spa Snow Sports Society was established in 2009, and to this day we’re still going strong - getting up to all types of antics. Our annual Christmas trip has allowed us, over the years, to experience the best of the French Alps, visiting Tignes, Val Thorens and many more. Work hard, play hard is what they say, but our motto would generally require the removal of the first two words. Known for our ability to capture the essence of your childhood self (carefree and in need of constant entertainment) in the most crazy, and sometimes daring situations - we’re all about having the most fun with no concerns.

Although our trip is obviously a big factor to us as keen snow-fanatics, it’s not essential to those of you who are ski /boarding virgins. Most of our members have previously joined because they’re simply enticed, or have heard great things about our legendary SNOCIALS. However if you are up for exploring the Alps with us, being a mixed ability group there will always be someone who will be on the same level, willing to give a helping hand. We welcome anyone and everyone, regardless of your snow history – join for the socials, join for the trip or even join to learn! We offer something for everyone.

If you're keen on bettering your racing or freestyle abilities, then come join us on one of our fortnightly training sessions! Along with our good friends Bath Snow Sports, UWE and Oxford Brookes you can take advantage of the excellent but affordable facilities at Gloucester Dry Ski Slope. If you're feeling confident enough you will also be invited to represent Bath Spa Snowsports in the BUDS tournament in Edinburgh, as well as the BUISC league at Milton Keynes Snozone or the KINGS Dryslope Racing League!

Ultimately we’re just up for having a good time wherever we go, be it on the trip or at home in Bath. A favourite among Bath Spa students, we’ve received some of the best feedback, not only from the trip but also how we function as a society. Having a fairly large number of members means you’ll meet and get to know new people who, chances are, you’ve never seen before. We hope you can join us in continuing and contributing to make Bath Spa Snow Sport Society more popular than it already is!

For the academic years 2013 /14 and 2014 /15, Bath Spa Snowsports received a highly commended award for Society of the year.
