Our story

Snowsports Exeter holds the distinction of being the first university to establish an adaptive ski team, training every Friday and gaining immense popularity. Our commitment to this event is proven, as we've already secured £550 from our Fresh TraXs social in Welcome Week.

At the event there will be activities for everyone, including an adaptive skiing exposition, freestyle competition, and sledging. Your donation will play a vital role in covering the essential costs of the event, from snow and haulage to the fees for Jibworx and Event Exeter.
