<p>Does anybody know whether or not Brown has a ski club, or at least if there are organized trips to the slopes? I used to go to NYU and although they were much farther away from good skiing, they had a few organized trips each year. I’m hoping Brown has something similar, but I can’t find anything about it on the website. Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm not sure about a ski club, but I know the Brown Outing Club sometimes goes skiing.</p>
<p>I don't know of a ski club, but as someone said, there is an outing club. </p>
<p>Brown has a Women's Varsity Ski team (my daughter is on it) and a Men's Club Ski team and they train together and go to races together. One girl who snowboards is on the ski team and while she doesn't race with the team, she attends their training and trips. The ski team trains two mornings midweek in MA and goes away to races in NH, VT, or MA every weekend in winter, plus goes to a three week training camp in NH over winter break. While most of the racers on the Varsity team are excellent experienced racers, there have been some who have been on the team who are not (they may not start or be in the regional or national championships). One girl on the team this year had a background in skiing but just not in racing. While she is not a top contender, she participated in all races except championship ones, and all training. You could consider looking into that. If male, being on the club ski team is easy. If you ski, and even don't race, do look into the team if you go to Brown, as you very well may be able to join it and train with them, even if you are not a top seed. All fall semester, there is daily dryland training, as well.</p>
