Who Are We?
We are The Freeskier Society at the University of Utah. The largest and oldest club on campus. We exist on campus to help students get involved with the local Utah ski community and help students get out on the mountains for reasonable prices. We host events with prominent ski companies like TGR and Faction to get students who love the mountains together and stoked for the upcoming ski season. During the season, you can find us at all of the Ikon resorts skiing and riding together and tailgating in the parking lots giving away gear from our sponsors!
