On Saturday we are waiting for you in Risoul to make the week unforgettable. We really look forward to this trip, hopefully you too! See you in Risoul! Organization Studentenwintersport 2010 4 History In 2002 the idea arose in Eindhoven with a group of students to do a winter sports trip. The winter sports association Avalanche Boarders of the TU/e decided to realize this idea. On this trip 66 students went to Praloup(France). Infected by this success, students from other cities joined to organize this trip and Studentenwintersport(StuWi) was born. Thanks to partnership between student sports organizationsof the cities of Groningen, Enchede, Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Wageningen 530 students went to le Crobier(France) for StuWi 2003. The following years StuWi went to Risoul(2004), Avoriaz(2005), Solin d’Arves Saint(2006), Risoul(2007), les Menuires(2008) and Valmorel(2009). In the years, StuWi slowly but surely became a familiar name in studying and winter-sporting people of the Netherlands. In recent years Maastricht, Delft, Tilburg, Utrecht and Amsterdam joined the organization of StuWi. Over the last few years the number of participants continue to grow. With the 1030 participants who went to Valmorel last year a great success was booked. This year we will visit Risoul for the third time and again it will be one big trip! 5 The organization Studentenwintersport foundation consists of a Supervisory Board and a organization of a three headed national main board and various committees. The main board is responsible and delegates tasks within the various committees: the promotion, sponsorship, communication, NSskiK and activities committee. The nineteen organization members are recognizable by white and green coats with StuWi logo printed on the back.

Nope! We go skiing and therefore you need some knowledge. The standard ski pass is valid on Saturday morning from 13:00pm. After ± 18.00. you can enter your apartment. Before that, take one of the many ski lifts and already explore the slopes or drink a beer at the Yeti! A tip: Put only things needed for the first day (1 pair of trousers, 1 pair of socks, gloves, protection, boots, etc.) in your board, ski or shoe bag. In that way you do not need to worry about your big suitcase and you do not have to carry around 10 kilo’s of clothes trough the bus! Checklist What do you really NOT want to forget? On the internet there are a lot of web sites with good information and checklists, but we think you certainly should not forget the following things: •ID card or passport - a drivers license can not be used as valid identification in foreign countries. •Insurance card and papers - (including travel insurance) - ensure that you have your international health insurance card at hand. This can be recognized by the European logo and the blue color. You could arrange a travel insurance at StuWi. Besides your own travel and health insurance you can take out an all-risk insurance in Risoul to the amount of € 17, -. With this you are insured for all costs on the piste, including costs for a banana or helicopter flight and off-piste activities. Note: This is not an alternative to a travel insurance! •Cash - we recommend that you take at least € 100 euro’s with you. Caution! There are only 2 ATMs in the center of Risoul and those may become empty during the week, therefore be assured of enough cash. •Gloves (waterproof) and a hat. •Waterproof / resistant (ski) pants and coat - Thermal underwear and warm clothing are also highly recommended. •Thick winter socks •Decent shoes - Remember that we are there in the middle of the winter and there will be snow everywhere in Risoul. Open shoes, slippery soles or high heels are not very handy. •Sunglasses and / or ski goggles •Sunscreen 8 ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ Lip Balm Ski / snowboard equipment - if you have not rented. Bath and dish towels Medication (if you are on any medication, please inform the tour guide) A good tip for the bus: motion sickness pills. Anti-hangover medications like aspirin can also be a godsend. Mobile phone and charger Food and drink (for theoutward journey and the first day) - unless of course you want to spend your money in gas stations or want to benefit the StuWi discounts already on the first day. ÀÀ Sheets for the mattress and a slip for the blanket and pillow - Mattress, pillow and blanket are available, not linen. Unless of course you have already booked this. ÀÀ Clothing for theme parties and the other party nights - Of course you want to attract all the attention, and you do not want to dance in your StuWi sweater all night! Luggage To save you a little and make sure that the bus can still move, there are a number of limits imposed on the amount of luggage you can take per person: ÀÀ 1 suitcase or overnight bag Up to 20 kilos, (in some buses they can be weighted) so do take with you your entire wardrobe, shoes, beauty case, wine cellar and kitchen cabinet ;-) ÀÀ •1 pair of ski’s or 1snowboard Dismantle soft boot bindings at home to simplify the storage of the equipment in the bus ÀÀ 1 pair ski or snowboard boots ÀÀ 1 small bag as hand luggage for in the bus Label all pieces of luggage with your data (name, address, mobile, e-mail, home number). Note: whatever happens, you are responsible for your own luggage. This is normally covered by your travel insurance. Sportura and Studentenwintersport are not liable for any loss or damage of your luggage 9 Domestic Comm unications Snowtime After the monthly Snowtime, you will get the latest news in Risoul every day in de Daily Snowtime. It contains many useful facts. This daily paper can be picked up simultaneously with the bread! During the wintersport you can send all your expressions of love, gossips and literary excesses via SMS to the Daily Snowtime, which will than be published the next day! The number to which you can send your messages will be published in the first Daily Snowtime. Information hour Every day there is an information hour (infouurtje) from 17:00 to 18:00.h. at La Grotte du Yeti. You can come here with all your questions and comments. On Saturday there is an extra long information hour, from 07:00 to 21:00h. Ensure that you have returned the list of the inventory of your apartment before 21:00h. at the information hour. Appartement, inventory, damage and theft The disposition of the apartments will be made by StuWi. Each bed has to be filled, what sometimes can have as a result that groups have to be putted together. If you have registered a group of 6 persons, it can occur that it will not be possible to place all the 6 people in the same apartment. This might sound very annoying. Though previous years have shown that it can be really nice to get to know new people in this way. We will do our utmost to please everyone, but we can not guarantee anything. When you do not return the list of the inventory of the apartment, you will be held responsible for any damage to the apartment, even if that damage was caused before you came to Risoul. In order to get back your deposit afterwards it is very important to hand in the list of flaws on the forehand. Write everything down, also the things that are already broken, scratched walls, cracks in tables, trash on the balcony, everything. Take pictures of the existing damage as evidence. Report also damage in the corridor of your complex caused by other students to the StuWi organization, only than we can do something about that, otherwise the costs of the damage will be spread over the entire corridor. Be careful with leaving your equipment unattended on the slopes and near the Yeti bar. There are plenty Frenchmen with bad intentions and unfortunately also among students theft is not rare! Use a lock to secure your ski’s or board, and do not leave your belongings unattended. Do also not store your equipment at the balcony. We say this because of possible theft, and because the cold can make your equipment rust. Therefore be sure that you dry your material before storing it. 10 Deposit The deposit (à 75 euros) this year has been billed. Saturday, 31th of January 2010 on the departure day everyone has to be out of their apartment before 08.15pm. The apartment has to be clean. This means: no more garbage, food products, no dirt in sanitary rooms and on floors, the dish wash has to be finished and putted away and of course, leave the apartment behind the way you found it. Caution! Deliver the keys before 09:00am at the information hour in the la Grotte du Yeti. After checking out, the apartments will be checked by someone of the StuWi organization and someone representing the owner of the apartments, Sara. If their will be no damage discovered to your apartment or rented equipment, we will return the full deposit on your account after you get home. 11 Risoul In skiresort le Domaine de la Forêt Blanche, Risoul and it’s neighbour village Vars are for sure the nicest places. The village is located at 1850 meter altitude and has 180 kilometers of piste. The apartments are situated at the foot of the slopes, just as La Grotte du Yeti and lifts, allowing you easy access to the slopes. The village itself is slightly lower, but is also within walking distance of the apartments. The wooden chalets are in one line next to each other, so you have a nice view on the slopes of the mountainmass in the distance. All this makes for a nice compact Risoul village which perfectly emerges the ‘StuWi-feeling’. The ski area the ski area is quite large with its 180 kilometer of slopes, and has something for everyone. The height of the area ranges from approximately 1650 to 2750 meters. There is a multitude of blue runs, but also a wide selection of red and black slopes and beginners can practice their moves on the green slopes. For experienced skiers, there are attractive buckle black pistes and off piste-routes to explore. Furthermore, the ski area a fun park ‘espace Freestyle’, a Big Air in front of the Yeti and a natural half pipe! Risoul in La Foret Blanche: Altitude in meters: 1100 meter (1650-2750 meters) Total number of ski slopes: Total numbers of slopes: 185 km 110 Number of black slopes: Number of red slopes: Number of blue slopes: Number of green slopes: 10 35 46 19 Number of lifts: Number of chair lifts: Number cabin lifts: 32 18 2 12 The Yeti-bar Our apartments are located above La Grotte du Yeti, and of course there is the nightly a party going on. The Yeti is the central place of StuWi 2010 and located closeby the lifts and your apartment. The Yeti is open every day from 14:00h. until 02:00h. Every evening will be turned upside down by our own DJ’s. Our advice is to plunge into your bed at the end of the party to be fresh en sportive the next day. Besides the après-ski parties and themes you can enjoy outdoor aprèsski and various activities will be organized near the place Yeti, including the BigAirBAG. Of course, there won’t be just theme-parties! Every evening you are welcome in the Yeti for your daily (over)dose fun! Ofcourse, at the theme parties you are dressed slightly differently! It is often very hot in the Yeti. There is no wardrobe, but since the apartments are located on crawling distance, this shouldn’t be a problem. If you throw a sweater in the corner anyway, this will be your own risk. The bar will be exclusive for StuWi the whole week, ensure that you will carry your StuWi-card with you every day. You can pay with this card in la Grotte du Yeti, the Yeti Lounge and the Yeti snackbar. The Yeti lounge is daily opened from 09:00h. You can put money on the card by handing money to the bartender or pay with pin. Everytime you buy a drink, the amount will be written off. With the pass you have free access to le Morgan, a nightclub in the village. Of course, like every year we arranged good agreements. For beer, wine or limonade you will pay only € 1.85 in the Yeti. Also for drinks there is a discount price. It is extremely forbidden to smoke in the Yeti! For public drinking in Risoul you will get a fine of €90,- and if you own or use (soft) drug, you will be removed permanently from the village. Furthermore, according to the Yeti-bar manager sais: ‘Everything is possible, but nothing may break’ and ‘Don’t forget the bartender!’. The Yeti has international bartenders, so they speak English. 13 Eating and drinking Sports expends a lot of energy, skiing or boarding even more. You might think that beer or wine gives you a boost of energy, but you are going to want to eat some bread. Therefore you can pick up a free piece of baguette every morning between 08.00 and 09.00h at boulangerie ‘Pain’. We will hand out bread for everyone in your apartment at once, so feel free to sleep a bit longer while your housemates get it for you. On Saturday, the meal packages can be picked up at the entrance of your apartment. Come in pairs, the package contains food for a whole week so it might be heavy! This year, we will arrange a real StuWi barbecue in the Yeti Lounge, which is located on the left of the Yeti. This barbecue is provided entirely by La Grotte du Yeti. You will participate in this barbecue on one of these following days: Sunday, January 25 18.00-20.00 h Monday, January 26 18.00-20.00 h Thursday, January 29 18.00-20.00 h The classification of the groups will be announced after your arrival in Risoul. In several restaurants it’s possible to eat with StuWi-discount. All these restaurants are recognisable by StuWi-banners and are located on the right of the Yeti: the Yeti-snackbar, La Chaumiere and Le Cherine. In le Cherine it’s possible to have a pizza of lasagne for €8,-, including a free drink. More information about the discounts will be published in the first Daily Snowtime. Money and shopping The amount of money you will need for this week depends on your lifestyle. Our experience learns that 250 euros should be enough. In case of an accident or an emergency, make use you have some extra money on your bankaccount or creditcard. The local doctor charges you in cash because it’s a private clinic. You can reclaim these costs from your health insurance. As you can see on the map, there are two Spars on the map, but it quite expensive to shop there. Make sure to bring the most practical things like toothpaste, oliveoil, tampons and condoms, so you won’t have to buy it in Risoul. 14 The reunion Friday, March 5: The reunion The reunion! Organized in Café Spijker (Eindhoven). At 20:30h. the party will started. This party is thé opportunity to see to your StuWi-friends again and to brag about your best jumps and conquests during the StuWi-week.

ST UD EN TE NW IN TE RS PO RT.N L 15 Bustrip and ar rival day Departure You are packed and ready to go. The information about departure will be announced by e-mail a few days before departure. Make sure you are present at the place of departure a half an hour before departure. The classification can not be changed! This has to do with your insurance, not to tease you. We try our hardest to place you in the same bus as your friends, but we can guarantee nothing. Drinks in the bus We don’t travel by cruise ship, but despite the absence of a cocktailbar, most of the busses are equipped with a large stock of chilled beer, soda, coffee and tea. However, this depends on the bus company. We can tell by experience that you can buy these drinks at reasonable price. You are not allowed to bring your own drinks. If you do so anyway, this is at your own risk. Depending on the bus (driver) we stop to refuel mid-journey and to ensure that everyone is able to drink and eat something. The bus will tank 1000 liter of diesel and most students attempt to approach the same amount in alcohol and cigarettes. The driver and not all of the other passengers won’t be pleased about this. Therefore, despite the temptation, try not to. A hangover on your first day isn’t recommendable, nor is throwing-up in a crowded bus. Luggage depot Upon arrival, please stall your luggage in the appointed luggage depot. The deposit consists of a number of shipping containers. Remember your number well, because this the number with which you will find your luggage again at the end of the afternoon. There is a number of important rules concerning the depot, because we will stall our luggage with a big group of students of StuWi. ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ ÀÀ On arrival, put the clothes and needed equipment for that day in your carry-on. It’s not possible to change in the depot. So please change in the bus or on the street.

After a week of lessons you’ll be able to descend plenty of slopes with ease and the Integrand Small Slalom is THE spot to show off your skills! The more advanced skiers or boarders (at least 3 weeks experience) will battle for the best time in the Integrand Giant Slalom. 26 Cost Participation costs are € 7,50 per element, but if you decide to participate in every element you get a discount: you will pay € 20,- instead of €22,50! At many sportcouncils you can (partially) reclaim this money, isn’t that great? Insurance It’s of great importance to have a good insurance while you’re skiing or boarding, but especially when you decide to participate to the NSskiK*. Therefore check, before you leave, your insurance and check if ski-competitions are also included, because often this is not. If your insurance includes ski-competitions, take a proof of this, so we can check it. Should your insurance not cover the competitions, you have the possibility to get a good insurance through Sudentenwintersport, this way you will never participate in the competitions without a proper insurance. Participation in the NSskiK* is totally at your own risk and the organisation is in no way responsible for any possible damage and/or injuries. We all hope to see you at the NSskiK 2010 in Risoul! *goes the same for ONSsnowK 27 Organize StuWi 2011 ? We are searching for heroes to organize Studentenwintersport 2011. Are you a student HBO or WO? Are you interested in organizing the biggest wintersport vacation of The Netherlands and are you prepared to dedicate a yearlong 1 á 2 days a week to Studentenwintersport? The committee of the Foundation of Studentwintersport takes care of the general coordination of the volunteers (all of them students) and keeps contact with all partners and institutions with whom the foundation co-operates. The committee takes care of the continuity of the foundation. The committee exists of a chairman, a secretary and a treasurer. As a member of the committee you receive a financial compensation and a full compensation of your organisational costs (including 3 weeks in the French Alps!). We are looking for students with organizational and/or committee experience. Affinity with ICT and knowing the French language are also good points. Your study-background is not of importance; motivation and enthusiasm are! The committee 2011 will start in April 2010. In the beginning of March 2010 the candidates will meet with the committee of 2010. The first weeks of you taking office, the old committee will guide you intensively. Until March 1 you can (e-)mail your letter of application and Curriculum Vitae to Chris Habraken, voorzitter@studentenwintersport.nl. Of course you can show your interest during the StuWi-info hour. 28 Contact You can reach the organization in France by using the Dutch cell phone numbers as they are given in this booklet. Beside this, you can of course also approach somebody from the organization (they can be recognized by the white and green coats) or contact the organisation during the daily info-hour from 17.00 until 18.00h at the Yeti. From 17.00 until 18.00h. you can also see Ripstar for reparations of your snowboard material. Emergency numbers will be noted in the Daily Snowtime. Should an emergency happen at the ski trail or outside, use those numbers to contact the emergency services. Make sure you put these numbers in your cell phone and take care that your phone is charged; you never know when you need it! Should you have no reception, shut down your phone and try calling before you dial your PIN-code: then you have more chance at a good reception. 29 Student Spor t C ouncils ASSO (Amsterdam) Adres De Boelelaan 46 1082 LR Amsterdam Tel 020-3013520 amsterdam@studentenwintersport.nl www.desportraad.nl MUSST (Maastricht) Adres Bonnefantenstraat 2 Postbus 616 6200 MD Maastricht Tel 043-3883080 musst@studentenwintersport.nl www.musst.nl ACLO (Groningen) Adres Blauwborgje 16 9747 AC Groningen Tel 050-3634641 aclo@studentenwintersport.nl www.aclosport.nl NSSR (Nijmegen) Adres Heijendaalseweg 141 6525 AJ Nijmegen Tel 024-3612394 nssr@studentenwintersport.nl www.nssr.nl ESSF (Eindhoven) Adres O.L.
