LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
LET ME SET THE SCENE...
It’s the first day of trip. You’ve got the fresh powder under your skis (or board ), the mountain air is crisp and the sun is shining across the bright blue cloudless sky. The pistes are freshly groomed because, of course, you’ve somehow managed to scramble
They are both our and your biggest USP and secret weapon and I truly cannot wait for you to begin working with our incredible account managers.
Looking ahead to 25/26, our focus is clear: keeping ski trips accessible and supporting you, our Committees.
We understand the increased cost of living and the geo-political events currently occurring are all contributing to higher base prices. We are consistently taking action to minimise the effect of this on our passengers. Your success is our success, and we’re proud to offer the prices we can to our passengers. We’ve put huge investments into our tech as well as upping our initiatives such as our incredibly successful Early Bird Scheme to support you to reach your goals. All the team at NUCO are from a Uni Snowsports background, and we get it. Running a club alongside uni, work and everything else is HARD. We also get that being part of Committee is going to be one of the highlights of your time at university. Creating a ski trip for your club shouldn’t be stressful, it should be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of your life! We’ve taken all feedback from over 500 committee members last season to ensure we’re providing the best support for your committee across the season which you’ll find within this edition. So, as you embark on this journey, my advice is simple. Take every opportunity that comes (from becoming a NUCO rep to pioneering a ‘first’ within your club), make sure you are in the know and most importantly, ENJOY it! You’re about to start the wildest journey of your life. You won’t regret it.
for first lift after assessing the bars on offer last night. You’re about to embark on the wildest week of your life, after months of work, with no responsibilities - just pure freedom. That feeling - that buzz - is how we want every single Committee member we work with to feel on their trips, along with their passengers and we cannot wait to start the crazy journey that is the student snowsports world with you. Season 24/25 has brought us unreal snowfall, unlocked new events, created a snowsports club unity and the demand for your uni ski trips has SURGED. Our elite Committees from last season were truly something special so we cannot wait to see all your visions for the upcoming season. This season finally felt like we were back to a normality within the student snowsports world post-covid. We could all feel the air of excitement for trips, grassroots attendance has been back at its highest and committees have been more involved than ever before. This has really propelled us at NUCO to deliver further than we ever had before, pushing our average feedback score to a huge 4.27/5*! We couldn’t be prouder. Each season I love to reflect on how much we’ve grown and where our successes lie. For me it’s simple, it’s our team. You’re about to be *blessed* with the most passionate, transparent and dedicated account managers in the game. They will champion your club and support you in every way possible. Utilise them!
See you in the mountains for season 25/26!
