10 Reasons Why YOU Should Be In THE Spartan Ski Club

10. Because we get after it in every aspect... we not only take on the Mountains in Michigan (OK more like hills) and out West but we also are always having a good time.  Even when we are feeling philanthropic we go ALL OUT. In 2008 and 2009 we were actively involved with Relay4Life and just recently we got involved with two other organizations, Challenge Mountain and Battlefield Brawl. As a university organization we do understand that it is important to give back and why not do it in style! I mean after all we do have some of the best 'Style & Behavior'

This past winter we teamed up with the Ohio University Snowcats to teach Autistic and Vision Impaired children how to Ski and Snowboard at Challenge Mountain! 

This spring SSC got involved with Battlefield Brawl, The Battlefield Brawl is a flag football tournament to raise funds for Sparrow Hospital Pediatric Neurology.

9. We don't discriminate!! We don't just Ski in SSC, in fact, 2 of the past 4 presidents of SSC were snowboarders! When SSC first started, snowboarding wasn't around-- yes we're that old! So if you're afraid that SSC won't accept you because you stand on one board rather than two.. don't worry, as long as you like to hit the slopes, we don't care how you go down!

8. We all look good naked!

7. We are the original Winter Sports Club at MSU! We have history and we are not going anywhere anytime soon! 

6. Tired of seeing the same faces day to day? At SSC it is so easy to branch out get to know someone you may not typically get the opportunity to meet--- look at our current officers for instance-- our majors range from pre-med, education, finance, engineer, advertising,  and criminal justice... this group of people may have never gotten together without SSC!

5. Love getting hooked up?? When you're in SSC you get discounts at local stores such as Moosejaw and Summit Sports! Also, in SSC we always have Rockstar stocked-- perfect for those late night study sessions-- our office is right across the street from the main library at MSU!

4. We have an office-- located at 221 IM West! Always a great place to hang out during those class breaks that you just don't want to go back home for--- watch out for Matt's Corner though...

3.  We have by far the BEST advisor one could ask for, Doc! He's been here since the beginning and knows how to really get after it! If you're still unsure on whether you want to join, come to the meeting and listen to him speak and I'm sure you'll have no more hesitation.

2. You will go on the best trip of your life with SSC! Whether it's the big winter one out West (This year we are going to Breckenridge, CO) or the smaller weekend trips around Michigan, I promise you will have the time of your life!  Don't have any friends that want to go on the trip?-- No worries you'll make 50 new BFF's on the bus ride out West!

1. We're one big dysfunctional family and will always be there to pick you up after you      fall--on and off the mountain!
