Ski and Board Club

The UMass Ski 'n' Board Club is the greatest club to ever exist. It was founded many years ago on the "get drunk or die trying" principle. Some people say that the Ski 'n' Board Club is really more of a hard partying drinking club than a snow sports club. These people are right.

What is the UMASS Ski 'N' Board Club? The club was founded as the UMASS Ski Club in 1969, and ever since then, it has been dedicated to providing students with the best social and recreational opportunities possible at Umass.

Who can join? Anyone, whether you are a student or not. All types of people and skiers/boarders make up the club, those just learning how, near experts, and those that just go on the trips to have a good time.

How do you sign up? One easy way, is to go to the UMASS Ski 'N' Board Club table in the Campus Center concourse between 9AM and 3PM, Wednesday - Thursday, and ask to sign up. Another option is to stop by the clubs office, 434 Student Union. And if you so choose, you could bring a filled out sign up form.

Do we provide transportation? For all of our major trips we do, and they aren't cheap school busses. The only trips we don't provide transportation for are night skiing.

Where does the club ski? Most of our day trips are to either Mount Snow or Killington, but the club has been known to day trip elsewhere. The club also runs trips during Spring Break usually a trip somewhere special, like Jackson Hole.

Does the club do anything besides ski/board? Of course we do, each year we put together The Great UMASS Ski Sale, where anyone can buy some wicked cheap and wicked good winter gear. The sale has everything a person could need for the winter time, you'll just have to go to the sale to find out what is for sale. Besides a portion of the profits benefit the club to provide you with discounted trips.

The club also sells season passes, at discounted rates to ...

   * All East Season Pass (Killington, Mount Snow, Sunday River, Attitash)
   * Stratton - Okemo - Mount Sunapee Pass

What does LAGNAF mean? You'll just have to go on some trips to find out.
