Imagine 700 rowdy snowbunnies eager to out-drink, out-board, out-yell, out-shnev, out-blaze, out-anything anyone can be better at, organized debauchery on snow. I wanted my first year of college to be a time where I made the friends that I was going to keep for the next four years. I came to school knowing absolutely no one, let alone anything about Davis. During an early morning Spanish class I noticed an advertisement on the chalk board for a 'Ski or Snowboard Club Fest' to Canada. My light bulb instantly went on....BUT it was $600. Something I didn't have. I wrote down the dates of the informational meeting just in case and decided to attend the meeting whether it was going to be for real or just for shits and giggles.
As I walked through the doors to the auditorium (after waiting in line for over an hour for a free lift ticket), I sat through a presentation that talked about what seemed to be THE MOST epic trip on this planet. Here's some seller points that really got to me:

| I believe this was San Diego's creation [2007] |
- 4 day lift ticket included for glorious riding time
- Suites that housed you and 5-7 other people (new friends!)
- Activities such as broomball, snow sculptures, race the mountain, and dirrty dancing
- Beverages included
- Members of UC Davis, Santa Cruz, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara and San Diego all attend and mingle during the 2 parties thrown.
- Did I mention these parties are epically themed?
- PUB CRAWL
After the 24 hour-something bus ride, we finally made it to Canada. Sweet, sweet Canada. I knew that the week was going to be unusually sweet due to the fact that our welcome party was themed "America, Fuck Yeah". Only UC College students...
The riding was fantastic, the friends I made were unbelievable and the memories were forgotten (that's what cameras are for).
I don't think I could have asked much more out of a college trip; my everlasting shit-eating-grin is still slapped silly across my face.

| Papa Kug's victory chug after Allcal 2008 - Whitefish |
Allcal made me realize that ski club is hands down the most indescribable, rowdy, epic group of people that I had ever come across - so I went out for staff and have been here ever since.
