13 March 2003


Les 2 Alpes Championships

BUSC events, part of the British Universities Snowsports Council has announced that this year's Championships event in Les 2 Alpes, France, will be attended by over 2000 students from over seventy Universities across Britain.

BUSC is a national organisation that organises competitive and fun events throughout the year for student skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. The next event, "BUSC :: The Championships :: 03", will begin in just under three weeks and there is plenty to look forward too.

Slalom, Big Air, Halfpipe, Super-G
The event features national-level competition in all the major ski and snowboard dsciplines - everything from Slalom to Big Air via Halfpipe and Super-G. BUSC is the only organisation in the UK that runs a combined ski and board program, tailored to allow meaningful competition for the top athletes and a chance to try out the sports for those new to them.

2000 party people
As well as the four hundred competitiors, over 1600 other students will be in resort to spectate, learn to ski or to enjoy the good-time atmosphere that BUSC brings making this the single largest winter sports festival in the UK calendar. BUSC is famed for its amazing atmosphere, and with a music line-up that includes bands like The Deftex, the Noize and Traveler performing alongside DJs like European Scratch Champion Richie Ruftone and club nights like Give It Some! and El Segundo, this year will be no exception

BUSC has benefited from great support this year from the snowsports industry and from corporate partners such as Endsleigh, KPMG and Garnier Ambre Solaire, allowing the event to grow beyond its purely student roots. Furthermore, as a result of a partnership with the O'Neill Brits (British Snowboarding Championships), an event that will be hosted by Les 2 Alpes the week before BUSC, the organisers expect the standard of competition to be higher than ever.

It's going to be huge...
Dan Craig, speaking for BUSC says "This year's championships event is set to redefine the expectiations of student skiers and boarders. Thanks to the 'can-do' attitiude of Les 2 Alpes, and the support we have received from our sponsors and partners, we're confident that we're ready to provide one of the best snowsports events in Europe this winter".
