The Ski Trip
Arguably the most important event of the year, the infamous uni ski trip is the highlight of many students' time at university and we wholeheartedly agree with this! You do not have to be a member of Snowsports to attend our annual ski trip and anyone is able to come however, the benefit of becoming a member is that you will get a chance to meet many of the people going beforehand and form friendships prior to the trip. You will also be able to attend all of our sessions to help you prepare so we highly recommend signing up if you are keen to make the most of it! Again all info and updates regarding the trip will be posted online so keep an eye on the Instagram so you don't miss out on a space. This is always a SELL OUT EVENT, rapid and we want as many people to enjoy the Alpes with us.
This Year we are going to Les Arcs 1800 - 03/01/26 - 10/01/26
If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact us at snowsports@groups.stir.ac.uk, message us on the insta or ask one of our friendly committee!
