CSU Snowriders

If you are a Colorado State University student and you love to ski or snowboard, I would definitely recommend you check out this club: Snowriders.

One of the largest clubs on campus, with over 300 members, Snowriders is focused on providing CSU skiers and snowboarders transportation to and from the major ski resorts, including Breckenridge, Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Vail, Beaver Creek, Heavenly, Copper, Winter Park and Steamboat.

"Snowriders is all majors, all levels of riders, just people that want to have a good time," Snowriders president Spencer Kaye said. "We are definitely trying to bring the skiing and snowboarding community of CSU together as much as we can."

The club hosts day trips, overnight trips, a trip to Jackson Hole Ski Resort, a spring break house and other events. For the day trips, the club meets in the West Fall parking lot on Saturdays, taking two busses up to the mountains.

You do not have to be a club member to participate in club events or trips, however members do enjoy certain benefits. Membership into the club costs $30, which includes a t-shirt and a discount card for gear, trips and events. With a long list of sponsors, Snowrider members enjoy discounts at several retailers, including Christy Sports, Outpost Sunsport, Icelantic Boards and POW Apparel. Also, for day trips, Snowrider members pay $15 each trip, whereas nonmembers pay $20.
