S.O.S. is the Ski or Snowboard Club at UC Davis. SOS is the largest social club at UCD and is devoted to snow sports.
The purpose behind S.O.S. is to get skiers and snowboarders up to the snow for as cheap as possible, and of course to have a great time in the process. The club has ranged anywhere from 200-800 members in past years, though currently it hosts around 450 members along with 25 staff and officers. Besides scoring its members huge savings, S.O.S. is known for their wild parties and unique drinking games.
Membership is $30. This fee scores you a t-shirt and an SOS Card that will earn you tons of great discounts around town (Woodstock's, Ken's Bike & Ski, Ground Zero, etc.), as well as getting to go on all of our events(Cabin trips, Broomball, Float trip, etc...) for cheaper. We have "Members Only" sale nights at both Ken's Bike & Ski as well as Ground Zero, in which only members gain access to the store with items up to 80% off! If you have a yearning to go to the snow, but no ride, we organize carpools for all of our trips! Being an SOS member also gives you full access to our "Members only parties" also known as "Ragers."
REMEMBER!! We table in the quad Monday through Thursday (weather permitting) from 11AM-3PM. Stop by, sign up for a trip, steal some stickers, or strike up a conversation with a friendly SOS officer or staff member. We can answer any questions you may have, and may even be able to set you up on a date with our president Iain... or more likely a ride to the mountains for the weekend.
