Snowriders

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, from 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 200+ students to the Alps each year:

• Val Thorens (14th–21st of December 2024)
• And maybe the biggest ski trip in the history of ski trips, yet to be revealed 🤫 (12th–18th of April 2025
• Find out more at https://www.nucotravel.com/en-gb/universities/swansea

Major Events:

• BUDS in Edinburgh (14th–16th November)
• The Dome Series (TBC)
• Kings events held throughout the year
• Regular socials!!

Dry Slopes:

• We offer social dry slope sessions every other week with lessons and recreational skiing/snowboarding for £18.
• This also includes free entry to Bambu afterwards and good vibes all night long.
• Once a month, we provide race and freestyle training for those looking to improve their skills with help from our race captain.

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 drinking 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 Toby Jeffries is always here for you. If you ever need to contact him, feel free to reach out.
• If you'd like to report something anonymously, there's a reporting form available in our Linktree.

Memberships:

• Returners: Access to all socials, trips, and full voting rights.
• Freshers: Access to all the same benefits as returners, plus a snazzy t-shirt.
• Social: Access to all socials and trips, but no access to dry slopes or voting. A Sports Swansea membership is not required.

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.

Teithiau:

Rydym yn gweithio gyda’r cwmni teithio gorau y gaeaf hwn, NUCO, ar ddwy daith anhygoel, gan fynd â dros 200+ o fyfyrwyr i’r Alpau bob blwyddyn:

Val Thorens (14eg–21ain Rhagfyr 2024)
Ac efallai’r daith sgïo fwyaf yn hanes teithiau sgïo, sydd eto i'w datgelu 🤫 (12fed–18fed o Ebrill 2025)

Digwyddiadau Mawr:

BUDS yng Nghaeredin (14eg–16eg Tachwedd)
Cyfres y Dôm (TBC)
Digwyddiadau Kings a gynhelir trwy gydol y flwyddyn
Sosialau rheolaidd!!

Llethrau Sych:

Rydym yn cynnig sesiynau llethr sych cymdeithasol bob yn ail wythnos gyda gwersi a sgïo hamdden / byrddio eira am £18.
Mae hyn hefyd yn cynnwys mynediad am ddim i Bambu wedyn a naws dda drwy'r nos.
Unwaith y mis, rydym yn darparu hyfforddiant rasio a dull rhydd i’r rhai sydd am wella eu sgiliau gyda chymorth capten ein ras.

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!

Lles:

Rydym yn poeni am les ein haelodau ac yn cynnal sesiynau cymdeithasol sobr o leiaf unwaith y mis.
Mae ein swyddogion lles, Amy Marshall a Toby Jeffries, bob amser ar gael i chi. Os oes angen cysylltu â nhw, mae croeso i chi wneud hynny unrhyw bryd.
Os hoffech riportio rhywbeth 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.
Cymdeithasol: Mynediad i bob cymdeithas gymdeithasol a thaith, ond dim mynediad i lethrau sych na phleidleisio. Nid oes angen aelodaeth Chwaraeon Abertawe.
