Not only are SKUM are one of the leading clubs on the race circuit, but nobody can get near the clubs’ banter we bring to the side of the slope. SKUM offers both training and racing to everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned racer, on artificial matting and on snow. We regularly put out 5 mixed ski teams, 2 snowboard teams and a ladies team. Last season SKUM had an unprecedented 5 teams qualify for the national finals on artificial (a massive weekend!), whilst the 1st mixed team achieved a brilliant 3rd place in the BUISC nationals on snow.
We offer regular training, and racing, on an almost weekly basis, and furthermore a lot of fun; so whether you are really competitive, like skiing fast, or just want to get involved for the unbeatable banter, SKUM racing has something to offer you.
Competitions
Regionals & Nationals
We participate in the Northern league where we compete against clubs such as Newcastle, York and ‘dirty’ Leeds at dry slopes in Sunderland, Sheffield and at Rossendale near Manchester. Aside from this, we are involved in several national competitions on both snow and plastic, from Edinburgh to London. These mini breaks are simply unrivalled, a combination of skiing, boarding, drinking, and some absolutely shameless antics and fantastic banter. There are also balls in both Edinburgh and London, after two huge competitive weekends, which we love to dominate. So along with a lot of competitive racing, you can be guaranteed some big nights.
