Swansea Snowriders is a student-run Snowsports Club that welcomes everyone, be it for social, leisure, or competitive reasons. We cater to all abilities and aspects of snowsports, including lessons, race training, and freestyle training at Mount Pembrey.
Trips:
We are working with the best travel company this winter, NUCO, on two amazing trips, taking over 100 students to the Alps each year:
- Starting with a Christmas trip to Val Thorens (12th - 19th of December 2026). Book your spot now here!
- And winding our way down to an incredible Easter trip, location to be confirmed (20th - 27th of March 2027)
- Don't miss out; they're one of the high points for the club and the year, and you only need a £150 initial deposit to secure your place.
Competitions:
We currently enter mixed and women’s ski teams, along with mixed snowboarding teams, in BUDS, BUCS, and Kings, with events held throughout the year.
This last year, we have had many successes in our club, with the standout being our snowboarding 1s team coming 3rd overall in Kings Final! Along with winning Team of the Year at Swansea University Sports Awards 2026!
Dryslopes:
- We offer social dryslope sessions every other week with lessons and recreational skiing/snowboarding for £20. This covers transport, kit hire and instructors.
- This also includes discounted drinks in Bonnies, free entry to Bambu afterwards and good vibes all night long.
- Once a month, we offer race and freestyle training sessions for those looking to improve their skills, led by our race captain (Andrew Forster).
- This past year has also included hosting our first ski varsity against C*****f.
Socials:
- We bring the fun every week with a variety of socials, from the chaotic fun of Pub Golf to a festive Christmas meal.
- Regular themed nights after our dry slope sessions.
- Some might say we're more of a social society than a snowsports club—but why not be both? Whether you're on the slopes or the dance floor, you can expect unforgettable nights out with us!
Wellbeing:
- We care about our members' well-being and hold sober socials at least once a month.
- Our welfare officer, Chloe Forward, is always here for you. If you ever need to contact her, feel free to reach out.
- If you'd like to report something anonymously, there's a reporting form available in our Linktree.
Memberships:
- Standard (£35): Access to all socials, trips and dryslopes. With full voting rights.
- Social (£25): Access to all socials and trips, but no access to dry slopes or voting. A Sports Swansea membership is not required.
Charity:
We are working with several charities this year, including:
- POW (Protect Our Winters): Protect Our Winters
- Movember: Mental health - we raised over £730 last year!
National Sponsors:
We are excited to be working with several sponsors this year:
Local Sponsors:
- Bambu: We’re partnering with Bambu to visit on our coveted sports night after dry slope sessions, with free entry. You won't want to miss this one!
- Bonnie Rogues: We've teamed up with them for cheap drinks, great vibes, and a solid discount for members on everything throughout the week, but especially during our Wednesday night socials!
Mae Swansea Snowriders yn Glwb Chwaraeon Eira sy’n cael ei redeg gan fyfyrwyr sy’n croesawu pawb, boed hynny am resymau cymdeithasol, hamdden neu gystadleuol. Rydym yn darparu ar gyfer pob gallu ac agwedd ar chwaraeon eira, o wersi, hyfforddiant rasio, a hyfforddiant dull rhydd ym Mynydd Pen-bre.
Tripiau:
Rydym yn gweithio gyda'r cwmni teithio gorau'r gaeaf hwn, NUCO, ar ddau daith anhygoel, gan fynd â dros 200+ o fyfyrwyr i'r Alpau bob blwyddyn:
Gan ddechrau gyda thaith enfawr i Alpe D'Huez (13eg–20fed o Ragfyr 2025)
Ac yn dirwyn ein ffordd i lawr i daith anhygoel yn y Pasg, sydd eto i'w datgelu 🤫 (28ain–4ydd o Ebrill 2025)
Peidiwch â cholli allan, maen nhw'n un o uchafbwyntiau'r clwb a'r flwyddyn
Digwyddiadau Mawr:
BUDS yn Mt Glouster (7fed–8fed Tachwedd)
Cyfres y Dome yn MK (i'w gadarnhau)
Digwyddiadau Kings a gynhelir drwy gydol y flwyddyn
Partïon cymdeithasol rheolaidd!!
Llethrau Sych:
Rydym yn cynnig sesiynau llethrau sych cymdeithasol bob yn ail wythnos gyda gwersi a sgïo/eirafyrddio hamdden am £18.99.
Mae hyn hefyd yn cynnwys diodydd disgownt yn Bonnies, mynediad am ddim i Bambu wedyn ac awyrgylch da drwy'r nos.
Unwaith y mis, rydym yn cynnig sesiynau hyfforddi rasio a dull rhydd i'r rhai sy'n awyddus i wella eu sgiliau, dan arweiniad ein capten rasio (Chris).
Cymdeithasol:
Rydym yn dod â’r hwyl bob wythnos gydag amrywiaeth o raglenni cymdeithasol, o’r hwyl anhrefnus Golff Tafarn i bryd Nadoligaidd.
Nosweithiau thema rheolaidd ar ôl ein sesiynau llethr sych.
Efallai y bydd rhai yn dweud ein bod ni’n fwy o gymdeithas yfed na chlwb chwaraeon eira—ond pam lai cael y gorau o’r ddau? P’un a ydych ar y llethrau neu ar y llawr dawnsio, gallwch ddisgwyl nosweithiau allan bythgofiadwy gyda ni!
Llesiant:
Rydym yn gofalu am lesiant ein haelodau ac yn cynnal digwyddiadau cymdeithasol sobr o leiaf unwaith y mis.
Mae ein swyddog lles, Tierney (T) Helliwell, bob amser yma i chi. Os oes angen i chi gysylltu â hi, mae croeso i chi gysylltu â hi.
Os hoffech chi roi gwybod am rywbeth yn ddienw, mae ffurflen adrodd ar gael yn ein Linktree.
Aelodaeth:
Dychwelwyr: Mynediad i bob cymdeithas, taith, a hawliau pleidleisio llawn.
Glas: Mynediad i’r un buddion â dychwelwyr, ynghyd â chrys-t snazzy.
