A club that is as much about a good time as skiing. Whether skiing is your way of life or you’ve never seen snow in your life, we’re here to help you split the costs and deliver the best break you could ask for!
Founded in 2019, we have persisted through COVID to organise our signature annual trips to Queenstown, New Zealand — starting with 19 participants and tripling to 66 in 2022. In 2023 we took 90 keen skiers/snowboarders to Queenstown again and in 2024 we took a total of 150 people on trips to NZ, Thredbo and Japan!
Outside of these trips, UQ Ski has been described by the university as a highlight of student life. Just in 2022, we offered our members 28 diverse and high quality events!
Our events and trips are highly sought after, with Queenstown 2023 selling out in a record 7 minutes, and Japan 2024 in just 5 minutes!
In 2025 we’re aiming for even bigger things, and have already taken 50 students to France, and are gearing up with our 5th annual Queenstown trip, with another 45 going this year.
We can’t wait to see you on one of our trips soon!
