Staffordshire University Snowsports Club

Welcome to the Staffordshire University Snowsports Club (SUSC) 2012/2013!

SUSC is a club for snowsports enthusiasts which is open to both Stoke and Stafford campus students. We arrange regular socials and trips to Chill Factore in Manchester. We have a good mix of skiers and snowboarders and welcome people from all levels of ability whether you are a fresher, 2nd or 3rd year. So even if you’re new to winter sports we can help you in progressing to a level where you can be shredding the piste.
 
Fortnightly Socials
 
Socials are arranged every fortnight during term time, we mix these nights up with:
 
•    Student night in Hanley (Monday)
•    Couture in Stafford (Tuesday)
•    Gobble @ LRV (Wednesday)
•    Superfriday @ LRV (Friday)
•    Mukky Duck @ Legends (Friday)
 
Chill Factore

Whether you have skied or snowboarded before is irrelevant, come along with us to Manchester’s Chill Factore, the UK’s largest indoor real snow slope where you can go for either:

•    Taster lessons (Just to give it a go)
•    Full 2 hour lessons (beginner, intermediate or advanced available)
•    Recreational on the main slope

Chill Factore offers sick discounts for student clubs and equipment hire is included in the price.

We occasionally arrange trips to Stoke dry slope on Festival Park as their fully qualified instructors offer very good lesson prices to get you on your way to one of our trips to the Alps.

Annual holidays to the Alps

Our trips are very well priced and include: 

•    Executive return coach travel/ferry crossing
•    Accommodation 
•    6 day lift pass
•    Offers on drinks in resort

Last year we went to Tignes in France (Venue for the 2012 Europe Winter X Games) where we experienced an incredible New Year’s Eve party followed by 6 days skiing/boarding in incredible snow conditions.

We will always arrange a holiday for the Christmas/New Year break and also we try to arrange a Spring trip during the Easter break
