Welcome to Christ Church Snow Sports!

We are a small but fun snow sports group here at CCCU who train every Wednesday followed by a Social at different venues around Canterbury. If you’re a seasoned pro or a complete novice looking to try something new, this is the club for you! Joining snow sports will allow you to make lifelong friends. 

We are an inclusive club, and we are dedicated to teaching you to ski or snowboard, or if you are looking for a bit of a challenge, you can start racing in BUCS events and at the end of the year varsity against UKC with our race team. 

The highlight of the year is that one week a year, we go on an amazing snow trip into Europe where we ski, snowboard, après and club! There are also rail jams, pond skiing and more while also partying with other universities from around the country. It’s a good week to get aways from all the stress of university life. This year we are going to Les Deux Alpes! Booking goes live again after freshers fair!

If you think you’d want to try something different or you want more information, don’t hesitate to contact us:snowsports@ccsu.co.uk
