Race
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a race enthusiast, there’s a place for everyone in NUSSC so don’t hesitate to come chat to us about getting involved. We’re one of the UK’s top race clubs, having won our fair share of competitions over the past few years. We hold weekly training sessions at our local dryslope in Sunderland, on a Tuesday evening.
NUSSC competes in the following races throughout the year:
• BUDS: The British University Dryslope Championships are held in Edinburgh at the beginning of November. The trip to the Scottish capital will be an unforgettable weekend of racing and freestyle with over 1000 competitors and many more supporters. On the 11th November 2022, kickstart your uni year the right way!
• KINGS dual slalom race series: The Kings races are a series of four races throughout the year, either taking place in Rossendale, near Manchester, or Sunderland. These are an easy entrance to racing and epitomise university skiing. Even if you are a new racer, these races are a fun, relaxed way to get started - complete with a fancy dress theme! We take mixed ski teams, ladies’ teams and board teams plus anyone who wants to come along and support - so there’s room for everyone. Winning teams receive mountains of ‘Champagne’ and progress to the national finals; a head to head showdown with the top teams from other leagues. For the finals at the Gloucester dryslope, we have a club trip to Bristol.
• BUCS Dome Series (old BUISC): The British University Indoor Snowsports Championships have a Northern round, one 23rd November 2022, followed by the final, on 15th March 2023, which are both held in Milton Keynes, with yet more racing, freestyle and drinking!

Be part of a multi trophy winning, medal grabbing, plastic shredding, indoor slope conquering and dashingly handsome family.
