Welcome!

Welcome to the SussexSnow Website. SussexSnow is the society at the University of Sussex that deals with all things snow related and beyond. The club's central aim is to promote all snow sports to the students of Sussex. We are the largest club on campus with several successful racing teams and annual trips that are of legendary status. Beyond that SussexSocials runs multiple events that are open to all and that are all about having an awesome night out, even if you're a socialite with no interest in snow.
