Canterbury University Snow Sports Club

T-shirts and membership cards are ordered, paperwork is getting done and there’s lots of EXTREME TERRIAN stickers still hanging around. All this admin work and we’re amping for the season to start already!
If you want to be a member of the coolest club on campus (and seriously, who wouldn’t?) signup at Clubs Days the first week back at uni. If you want to help out at the stand, drop me an email on snowsportsclubuc@gmail.com. 
Membership is $25 and tees are $15. Pretty sweet design on them too. See you there!

The last week has seen some pretty crap weather in Christchurch but snow in Arthur’s and Porter’s passes is good news for all the skiers and boarders out there.

Mt Hutt has also had snow but that is significantly less exciting then the prospect of some pre-season touring in the Craigieburn Ranges…

On a separate note, the Temple Basin Buddy Pass offer (4 season passes for $480) closes this weekend so get in quick if you’re still keen. Also our good friends out at Gnomes Snowsports in Darfield have some pretty good deals on all manner of items and all CUSSC members get a sweet discount so it pays to make them your first choice when it comes to new gear.

Get excited for winter at Temple Basin!!!

For initiation weekend Rob and Ezra decided to ride their 50cc scooters to Temple Basin and back, which took them 4 hours each way and required extra petrol cans tied on between their legs. You boys are insane but we love ya. Anyway here’s a video of them trying to get their scooters up the 4wd track:

So initiation weekend was epic. The canteen now officially has working eftpos, Rob and Ezra made it to Temple and back on their scooters, there were multiple beer olympics times under 1 min and pants were declared optional.

Next up on our calendar is the Annual Foo San dinner. If a mean feed of Chinese accompanied with some yarns about skiing, boarding, or the club in general sounds like your idea of a good night, flick us an email (we need to confirm numbers soon).

This is a BYO event (unfortunately we were told we weren’t allowed to take a keg like last year… something about vomiting on tables in front of other guests…?) and the onslaught will continue at the Foundry after the food is gone.

When: Thursday 8 March at 5.30

Where: Foo San (just along from R&R/next to Captain Bens)

Cost: $15

Make sure you RSVP to the club email and see you then!

Initiation weekend is THIS WEEKEND!

Come join us up Temple Basin for the first workparty of the year. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet other skiers and snowboarders, spin yarns to those of us who have been around for a few years and generally have a mint party on the hill.

Attending work parties is a great way to earn work tickets which can be exchanged for lift passes/accommodation during the ski season.

Contact the club if you want to come along, need more information or have mates who want to sign up.

Best Deal Ever!!

Get a Temple Basin Season Pass for just $120.00 – Cheap
The only catch is – find three mates to join you!

This Buddy Pass System just requires 4 critters to purchase a season pass all at once and then Bob’s Your Uncle.

For a total of $480 a group of four have unlimited skiing at Temple Basin! Epic.

Contact the club if you wish to find out more or sign up for the business!

All tickets must be purchased before the 1st of May 2010
