About
Bath Snowsports gives it's members the opportunity to take part in various snow related disciplines at either recreational or competitive levels. From slalom racing for both skiers and boarders, to freestyle events, and even a casual visit to the slopes, we cater for everyone.
Club History
The club has grown vastly over the last few years, each year attracting more and more members on its trips. We've had an increasing involvement in the British universities snowsports scene, and take part in nearly every even run by BUSC (British Universities Snowsports Council). We've been the largest sports club over the last few years, generally with around 500-600 members annually!
Membership
Snowsports is a bit different to other clubs at the University in that we offer two different types of membership. The two different memberships cater for those who just want to come along to the socials or the trips, and to those who want to compete and train regularly.

Committee
|
Having taken a break from committee duties last year, pandering to the needs of european businessmen in Brussels, Yorkie returns to head up this year's committee. Despite being recently acquitted of aggressive spooning and with an unhygienic obsession with festival wristbands, Yorkie is the quintessential essence of Bath Snowsports. Just be careful when you're out with him.. stray too close and you'll be sucked into his dance-master vortex.
|
|
Often seen sporting a rather fetching yellow tutu, and an occasionally befuddled expression, Wingman is Yorkie's right hand man (there's a joke there somewhere..). With a wealth of trip knowledge at his fingertips, if there's anything you need answering, he's your man!

With her stupendous ability for storytelling and unnatural fear of eggs, Jennie has been heralded as the fastest person to come out of Wales since some pretty quick, running guy.. She is our most experienced racer and, when not indulging in her hobby of off-pisting, will be endeavouring to steer our illustrious ski team to glory this year.
|
|
For reasons best left unknown, Village returns to the committee for a second year and is still an offence to the human race. His approach to new hobbies akin to that of a pubescent magpie, he'll dabble in anything that tickles his pickle. Apart from when moonlighting as a stripper or attending duck and goose seminars in Poland, Village can be found obsessing over nipples whilst finding exciting, new ways to damage himself making him the perfect man for the job!

Known for his tolerance of abuse and the lack of a real nick-name, Berry even has a day named in his honour; Bully Berry Wednesday. Frequently found dribbling in the corner with no idea of the whereabouts of either himself or his clothes, and rarely without a full-body facepaint coating, Berry is tasked with keeping the website and other technical matters in order.

Barnesly has a natural talent for bus-sleepage, and can often be seen partaking in his specialist hobby of fly-catching. He has an unrivalled Blue Peter-esque ability to knock up a fancy dress costume and is the guy behind our sick promo and hoodie designs this year!

Clare brings two main assets to this years committee.. couple this with enough enthusiasm to power a large mechanical marmotte, we've got one helluva social sec. No stranger to having a good time, this dinosaur lover is in charge of making sure our socials run tickety-boo.. easier said than done.

As our treasurer, Jamie's mad number skills are obviously a plus.. however, as UK kickboxing champion, his ability to recover debts with powerful 'arguments' is also fairly useful. If invited to a game of head fives, accept at your own risk..
