KINGS

There are four rounds of kings racing then an epic national final at the end of the year. At kings it is dual slalom on dry slope and we enter both ski and board teams. Kings races have a great atmosphere with a touch of Loughborough arrogance because we go in fancy dress and normally dominate the banter and the races. In addition, all kit provided for the event.

BUDS

BUDS is one of the best weekends of the year. It takes place in Edinburgh at the savage Hill End slope. Both competitors and supporters can go to BUDS because there are some legendary nights out and some awesome competition. Even though it the coldest place on earth.

BUISC

BUISC took off in a big way last year and we certainly dominated on and off the slope! Last year the qualification event was held in MK and the finals at Castleford Xscape. There is a whole host of events for both racers and freestylers to take part.

BUSC

BUSC is the largest event of the year. It’s a great value for money second Loughborough Sno holiday, it’s also a competition week for the Sno TEAM and it’s a like fresher’s week on Snow…epic. It is a weeklong event held in The Alps and attended by 2500 other Uni students. At BUSC, there are all the events imaginable from Slalom Super G to Skier X and slope-style to Big Air.We always dominate at BUSC picking up all sorts of medals, this is a winning tradition that we need to keep up! Like all Sno Team events you guys make them. If you want to improve, feel the buzz of competition whilst developing your skills that’s great. If your aim is to make the finals or become a UK University champion. It’s all possible at these events. So long as we can help everyone develop and have a memorable time at Loughborough were happy.

I will keep all Sno Team members posted through the Loughboroughsno.com ‘Competitions Forum’ and with emails to your student account about these events and the training Sno Team training sessions. So register on this site and get in touch with me. If you need to contact us, leave a message on the Competitions forum or email.
