Determined to change the notion that winter is for hibernating indoors, Humber’s Ski and Snowboard Club, aims to get students off the couch.
Third-year industrial design student Sean Cardiff has been part of the club for three years.
With over 900 members, this club proves it is as good for the heart as it is for the social life.
“Everyone is welcome of all skill levels and anyone can join. It’s a pretty casual club. It’s more of a laid back atmosphere, just everyone having fun rather than being competitive because that happens enough at school,” Cardiff said.
The group encourages winter activity by organizing various outdoor events for members to enjoy.
“We have a huge event coming up just in the New Year, Tremblant from Jan. 25 to the 27,” Cardiff said.
“We’re going to go up there and we’re getting a hotel for it, and partying it up and then hitting the ski hills.”
Mont Tremblant, a ski resort located about 120 kms north of Montreal in Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains, has the reputation of a premiere resort with an invigorating nightlife.
Cardiff said the estimated cost of the trip is $360 per person for the three day trip.
The cost includes all travel and hotel accommodations, as well as daily ski lift fees.
However, some people prefer to be indoors for athletic endeavors.
In the spirit of the holidays, the Toronto Sport and Social Club (TSSC) is offering the Holly Balls Volleyball Tourney this December.
First-year creative advertising student, Neda Mirjabari is an avid volleyball player and league member.
“It’s fun because you can create your own teams and name them,” Mirjabari said.
“And you can choose your skill level and just go out there and have a good time with your friends and get a great workout in, too.”
The TSSC also offers a variety of other sports to choose from like basketball, indoor hockey, soccer and dodge ball.
