Crew Swap
Missed Sesame? Missed Jamal's? We're bringing the cultural phenomenon of the crewdate/swap (depending on your educational orientation) to the Alps. Get your pennies ready and your best fines out, the Alps isn't ready for us.
Havoc with Haute Mess
Oxford's first drag night is here to bring you the queerest and messiest space for total self-expression. Whether you're a King, Queen, Monster, or just a messy bitch who lives for drama, we wanna see you get messy.
Haute Messy.
The Races
The reason we’re all here. 101 years ago, the finest Oxbridge skiers competed in the first Varsity Race. More than a century later, the question still remains: which blue are you?
Slalom Party and RailJam
Don't miss out on this winter sports extravaganza! Get ready to watch your friends fly down the slalom course, zipping through gates with precision and style. And that's not all – the excitement continues with our Rail Jam, where riders showcase their tricks on the rails.

Parkend is travelling all the way to Tignes so get ready to "put your hands in the air if you're with your best friends" and savour a slice of home. Cambridge crew, Parkend might seem like enemy territory, but you're all warmly welcome – let us show you how it's done as we bring the Parkend magic to the snowy slopes!
