COMMITTEE 2026

Telemark’s better than your grandad, can shred on the ski blades, a mono ski, and would probably sit ski if it came to it. I have seen Foxy do more silly skiing than regular skiing this last season. An absolute Facebook marketplace menace, does this boy have a gear addiction? Most likely! 

Down for pretty much anything, and can rally a d-floor like no other, we’re in for a spectacular 2026.

Pros:

- Big rig that fits 8 people and their gear

- Pretty to look at

- Bubble butt baddie

Cons:

- Kayaks too much

- Biggest fein

- Wouldn’t last long in jail

Anise is an admin masochist behind the scenes, which will hopefully come in handy this year. I’ve seen her make the slopes her bi*ch and then shrug like it was nothing; in other words, she takes nonchalance to the next level while simultaneously skiing harder than the 10-year-old clubbie gremlins.

Did I mention that she is also a d-floor connoisseur after dark? Anise is like the joker in a deck of cards, a little bit cheeky, a lot of fun, and always someone you want around.

Pros:

- Cute dog

- Is like a 10-in-1 shampoo if it actually did all 10 things properly

- Impeccable matchmaking capabilities

Cons:

- Dates our club captain

- Broke her camera lens at Biv

The master of unsolicited advice and no doubt the best DMC you will ever have, Bells puts her major in psychology to good use. Whether she is on the mountain flexing her ski instructor knowledge or in Chch mansplaining which rain jacket you should buy from Bivouac Outdoor™, Bells has a way with words.

However, be forewarned, I once asked her for advice on a particular matter and ended up questioning multiple life choices and my sexuality.

Pro:

- Skis like no other

- Always down for a chat

- Takes SEXcretary to a new level

Con:

- Will leave you in the committee bunkroom questioning a lot of life choices

After finding out he works for an investment company and also drives a mum wagon, I have a feeling that he will fill our old treasures’ shoes quite well. A generally fun guy to be around and a good laugh, hopefully, his skiing capabilities can keep up with his admin skills.

However, a little birdie did tell me that one of our old elusive presidents sold him a pair of kingpins for $400, that is, after Hugo had bought them for $250. The best part? Barnaby initially offered him $500!! Better practice your negotiating skills Barnabucks.

Pros: 

- Has a big boy job

- Let me get the Adobe suite

Cons: 

- Copied the previous treasurer’s car

- Negotiating isn’t your strong suit

DJ Blood and Guts has held his title strong. Haemorrhaging from the leg or spinning decks with a broken hand? That doesn’t stop Zac from keeping our d-floor alive.

Takes steeze to a new level with the baggiest pants in the club, and has recently elevated from being a park rat by joining the skinning community, but that hasn't been going swimmingly for him so far.

Pros:

- Rips decks and the slopes

- STEEZE

- Aspiring freak in the (spread)sheets 

Cons:

- Girlfriend shreds harder than him

- Forgets to put his brakes back on while transitioning

- Needs an ambulance on call

Sofia was introduced to us at CUSSC’s 2025 initiation. With enough energy to kill a horse, and sitting just slightly below 5’, she can only be defined as a pocket rocket.
Her time in the club has made her famous for a number of reasons… No nose within a 100m radius is safe, shreds on the planks better than a Gloriavale nun, and she's well known for blowing a tranny??!!
You will never catch Sofia without a camera around her neck and a smile on her face.

Pros:

- Does Muay Thai

- Mixed gender goon shower advocate

- Produces some incredible media.

Cons:

- The English language is not her strong suit

- Be nice to her if you are a man

- Blew up her grandma's car transmission at initiation

- Broke the ex-club captain's nose

Dad? Yes, that is Piper. She managed to do more work on the lodge than the entire lodge committee last year and emasculated every man while doing so. Don’t mention the words “flex” and “off” in her presence, because you will lose. 

Whether you need something done or just a good talking to, Piper is your girl.
Did I mention she is also super sendy?

Pros:

- Can whip you and the lodge into shape

- Gives better hugs than most of your boyfriends

- Has cool tattoos

Cons:

- Will emasculate you

- Used to be a gymnast, and tells everyone

Rosa is small and mighty, the queen of being passive-aggressive but making it seem like an apology. What else would you want from our fundraising officer?

Will do anything to get on the slopes. She subjects her body to clinical trials as often as legally allowed (and has convinced everyone in the club to do the same), spends the money on ski gear, and repeats! 

Pros:

- Absolute angel

- Will hunt you down if you steal skis from the snow sale

- Owns enough Yeti drinkware to be sponsored 

Cons:

- Law student (eww)

- Wears boots 1 size too big

Harry came to us as a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fresher, quickly adopting the name “twin turbo” after some questionable shenanigans at Da Basin.

Quickly (slowly) tackling the rope tows and racking up the largest committee tab CUSC has ever seen. You’re never surprised to see Harry running around the lodge causing insane havoc.

Pros:

- DJ skills on par with DJ Blood and Guts

- Can reach the top shelf

- Makes the best brownies

Cons:

- Snowboarder

- Needs to be tucked into bed by Foxy

- USB corrupts at the worst times

As elusive as a four-leaf clover, you don’t see him too often, but when you do, you sure do feel lucky. 

Whether you need an insanely good yarn, someone to join you for “lunch”, a sharp photographer, or a partner to help you finish your whiskey in the shower, Nico is your man.

Pros:

- Handy with a camera

- Gets stuff done

Cons:

- Doesn't come to events enough

- Too much time in the pantry

- Haven't actually seen him ski?

This girl is full of surprises. She has style better than the lead singer in an indie band, sends it harder than Jess hotter, and has better tolerance than most of our committee, except for when it comes to Kings Cup. 

Frankie is an absolute cutie pie when the sun’s out, but as soon as it gets dark… expect to be in for the time of your life, think side quests and doofing into the early hours of the morning.

Pros:

- Absolute steeze machine

- Makes good edits

- Does media communication

Cons:

- King's cup is not her friend

- Doesn't own a camera YET

- Gives away access to her Instagram account very easily

When this girl gets on, she gets ON!!!! A sendy skier, costume crusader, and all-around good-time instigator. New to the club but already leaving her mark, for better or for worse. You’ll find her either on the slopes, on the d-floor, always in the middle of the fun, and sometimes over the toilet.

When you see Frankie and Ruby together… buckle your seatbelt.

Pros:

- Contagious energy

- down for a good time

Cons:

- BEWARE of the iconic duo

Here at CUSSC, we aren’t usually fans of summer, as skiing tends to occur in the winter. In Summer’s case, we’ll make an exception. 

Always down for a chat or a hug, and usually our lodge mum when she finally makes it up to the basin. Hopefully, this year we will see her shredding more than just the slopes of Mt Hutt.

Pros:

- Lodge mum

- Uber la spragg

- Durrie muncher

- Pro sober

Cons:

- Probably working rather than skiing

- Cannot manage her money

- Pro sober

Our little horse girl. Elise is a sparkling light with the sweetest, bubbliest personality, but don't be misled because if she can handle a 1000kg animal, you best believe she makes the dance floor her b*tch.

She throws her tiny hatchback around like it's a supped-up Hilux and is the keenest person alive for a moonlight girls' skinny dip.

Pros:

- Isn’t afraid to get dirty

- Cutie pie

Cons:

- UCCC side chick

- Dates Hayden

Nepotism runs rampant in this club. Sam has big shoes to fill as the youngest of the freeman bunch. An absolute menace when it comes to sending it on the slopes, he managed to land his first-ever backflip attempt and semi-ski out of it.

Prepare to be scared when it comes to a themed event because Sam goes all in!!

Pros:

- Sendy!!

- Second-tallest on the mountain

- Looks good in a dress

Cons:

- Nepo baby

- Scary in a dress

Our up-and-coming lover boy, Ashley is a lodge mum through and through. Unfortunately, he is too focused on his engineering degree to ski, which is heresy considering he absolutely shreds the planks.

Hopefully, he can put all that mechatronic expertise into keeping our lodge standing. 

Pros:

- Shreds

- Lover boy

- Listens to laufey (not performatively)

Cons:

- Doesn't ski enough

- Too locked in

This man seems to have a complete lack of self-preservation when it comes to skiing. He had the revelation after sending the chutes at Temple, that going straight is faster than turning. Only to hit a jump right next to the downhill tow at full speed, he then cartwheeled the length of downhill and provided us with one of the best yard sales of the year.

Whether or not he has the talent to keep it together is irrelevant because the man sends. 

Pros:

- Has tools

- Ranfurly lover

- From the civil department

- Has finished more concrete slabs than women :)

Cons:

- No sense of self-preservation

- Lost his phone on Porter's ski field

Lewis is our resident freak in the sheets. After being the Treasurer in 2025, you can see the wrinkles starting to show. Second to last on the D-floor and protector of our coveted Soundbok, this man is the best of both worlds.

Between his insane admin abilities and B/Com degree, expect this year's snow sale to bring in more revenue than a Fortune 500 company.

Pros:

- Freak in the sheets

- Newest subie in the club (aka mum wagon)

- Can cut shapes on the D-floor and the slopes.

Cons:

- Hutt slut

- Will micro-manage you

- Yet to see him land a 360.

Nepo baby #2, If you think Sam was bad, WATCH OUT!! Alex can shred like a redbull athlete and sends it harder than a lot of people I know.

After establishing dominance with the bramble bushes on initiation and eating an infected locus plant, there's no telling what Alex can do.

Pros:

- Super duper good skier

- Likes his veggies

Cons:

- Nepotism

- Bramble bushes

The king of fishing for sponsors and general hype, this boy could convince a cat to fetch if he so wished to. After piggybacking off our cactus partnership for UCCC endeavors (boo), we have reclaimed him as our own!!

Previously known as “fuck out felix”, will he continue to live up to his name? 

Pros:

- Can sink a goon faster than all of the committee combined

- Purrrrrsuasive

- Likes cats

Cons:

- Fucks out

- Kayaks too much

- Uses group chat as a private story

As Elise so eloquently put it, “He’s just a chill dude.”

If that doesn’t sum up Hayden, I don’t know what will. Keep him a solid five metres from the bagged wine, unless, of course, you’re feeling a little chaotic and ready to deal with the fallout. Either way, you’re in for a night to remember.

Pros:

- Drives a Subie

- Dates Elise

- “chill dude”

Cons:

- Another UCCC hua

- Goon victim

- Ranga :(

After living in the unofficial cussc flat for 2025, he has been indoctrinated into the committee. Whether he likes it or not, he is now one of us; hopefully, he learnt a trick or two from our previous fundraising officer because he will need it.

He’s often found not on the slopes, but in the lodge, nesting to his heart's content #lodgemum

Pros:

- Will make you a cup of tea

- Good for a DMC

Cons:

- Doesn't ski enough

- Another Hutt slutt

- “Quasi freashers”

Pros:

- Looks cute ;)

Cons:

- Eats the lodge

- Can’t fly uphill

- Lost bird of the century :(
