In a country not traditionally associated with avalanche-inducing snowfalls or hypothermia, the Wits Snow Ski Club’s focus is on establishing competitive skiers and snowboarders, as well as building a strong alliance with the South African snowboarding community.

Our ability to introduce our members to snow sports relies on our affiliation with another Johannesburg based club, Club Maluti, who own a Ski Hut in the Lesotho highlands, which is a 10-minute drive from the Afriski ski slope - a short 4-6-hour drive from Johannesburg.

Every year the Wits Snow Ski Club heads up to Club Maluti during the varsity winter break for a week of snowboarding and skiing. With the Afriski staff working harder every year, it is guaranteed that there will be sufficient snow for three full months from June until August.

In addition to this annual ski trip, Ski Club also represents Wits at the abovementioned National Snowboarding Championships and the King’s Cup Snowboarding event at Afriski. These events are the most competitive skiing and snowboarding events on the South African calendar and gives the selected Wits team a chance to show off some skills, learn some new ones, and meet some great/legendary SA board riders.
