Welcome to the SCAT Ski Club
Anything that happens in life is geared towards the ultimate ski run. Can you handle skiing at top resorts for rock bottom prices, drinking copious amounts of alcohol in bizarre drinking games and partying with totally crazy people? Joining this club is the best way to meet people and have a huge time celebrating this thing we call ‘snow’. Whether you’re a beginner or expert, snowboarder, x-country or alpine skiier we know you’ll get a lot out the club that really ski’s.
We have a social week in New Zealand (July), plus ski weekends at Thredbo (July- August) which are the cheepest around. The biggest event of the year is the AUC race championships with over 500 uni students attending (August). Beginners, Social Skiers and Racers are encouraged to come along. We also incorporate rollerskiing, rollerblading, and skurmishing as well as numerous social events into our yearly activities.

Membership to SCAT has varied over the years quite significantly. From 200 in 1992 to 450 in 1995. 1996 membership was around 350
O’week ‘96 Wed - Fri
Membership is only $8, here are some of the things you get for that measly sum.
SUSSS and SCAT Ski BBQ Wed 28th Feb 7pm $8 During O’week
Last year there was over a thousand revellers, this year will be bigger. Meet other ski
bums and pretty much everyone you want to know. Tickets will be $12 for SCAT and
SUSSS members or $20 on the door. Not definite.
New Zealand Schmear Tour ‘96 7th-14th July $950 approx 120 people
The queues are short, the parties long, the snow is soft, the drinking hard. We won’t brag
about it, but have been running this trip for five years now, so we know how to make it
great. Speek to anyone who’s been on it and they’ll tell you straight up. How can you go
wrong with 120 people, 6 days of skiing up to 4 different resorts around Queenstown, 7
nights of partying with free beer and wine, duty free alcohol and a selection of nightclubs,
bars and restaurants that would put North Sydney to shame. If you need a day off skiing,
exchange your lift ticket for a $45 discount on bungy jumping, white water rafting, jet
boating, heli bungee, hang gliding, even skurmishing.... all close to the heart of
Queenstown. Or you can sit and read a book all day..yeah right.
Ski Weekends
Two to three weekends staying at Jindabyne for around $55 for the weekend. Great for
fine tuning your strategies on and off the slopes. Skiing, drinking, spading, hurling and
recovering should be instinctive by the end of these weekends.
Intervarsity (AUC) Ski Championships - Mt Buller 29 July - 3 August
Unkown to many people the IV week is where over 700 uni students from all over
Australia get together to go hard. With intense drinking games, thrilling skiing races and
an incredible apres-ski agenda, this week is bigger than ..... bloody everything.
Mainly Summer events are below:
The snow may be gone but the party still goes
The Big Nights Out Three Huge events that will make your head spin.
