Lifelong friendship

At the heart of BUSC is a commitment to forging friendships within our own ski team, peer group and beyond. With every intake of new members the network of like-minded individuals grows and brings new energy into the fold for the club to thrive and move forward year upon year. We are fortunate enough to have exceptional ties with the Swiss Academic Ski Club (SAS) who may be adversaries on the slopes but are dear allies off them and has provided generations of BUSC members with enduring relationships that breach borders.

Competition

The premise for this club has always been to foster healthy competition between alpine skiing athletes in further education. For many becoming a part of BUSC is a first opportunity to compete internationally and travel abroad in doing so. The annual Anglo Swiss competition against the SAS is never taken lightly and brings out the very best competitive spirit in a team atmosphere which we rarely enjoy in alpine skiing but it is another example where sport can be an incredible force for unity once the race is over.

Among the UK's oldest ski clubs, BUSC is extremely proud of its heritage and loyalty of its membership to observing many traditions that preserve the unique character of the club. We are also extremely fortunate to have a flexible, multi-generational delegation who are not afraid to move with the times and have relished the opportunity to bring BUSC into the modern era in a progressive fashion.
