UM SPORTS is going to SnowWorld

Fancy an international evening of skiing or snowboarding together with the universities of Aachen, Liège, Hasselt and Maastricht? Join us on a trip to SnowWorld on Tuesday 15 November and let's kick off the winter season together! Both newbies and experienced skiers are welcome to join us!

  Please note: this event is only for UM SPORTS members.

Ski or snowboard lessons and fun on the slopes

Free skiing or snowboarding

During this evening, you will be able to ski or snowboard independently for 4 hours. A get-together in the ski huts on the other side of the slopes will put you in a good mood, create a social atmosphere and ensure a great night out.

Classes

If you wish, experienced instructors can give you ski and snowboard lessons and teach you more about the snow sport. These lessons are perfect for those who are new to the slopes. People with more experience can sharpen their skills in different workshops focusing on different techniques. Spots for the beginners lessons are limited and you need to register in advance. Advanced classes can be attended on the spot, no pre-registration needed.

Costs

The costs are € 27.50 (non-refundable). This includes entrance to SnowWorld, transport to and from SnowWorld, parking costs, snowboard and ski lessons and snowboard and ski equipment (specification below).

Clothing and equipment

You will need the following clothing and equipment (also available for rent at SnowWorld):

  • Ski suit (or trousers and jacket) (for rent for € 11)
  • Skis or snowboard (included)

  • Helmet (mandatory, free to rent)
  • Gloves (mandatory, can be purchased for € 7,50)

You may also bring your own material if you have it.
