Are you ready for the craziest, most epic, most Swiss skiing adventure of your life? Join us for the ORGanized Annual Skiing Madness, the ultimate IMW for ski lovers and cheese addicts!

This year, we are taking you to Davos, where you will enjoy over 300km of slopes, stunning views of the Alps, and a cosy hut right next to the ski lift. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, we have something for you. We will (try to) arrange ski courses for those who want or need them.

But that's not all: after a day of shredding the snow, you will get to experience the legendary Swiss Après Ski culture, with drinks, music, and fun. And of course, you will get to enjoy our LC Zurich traditions, such as but not only ricola vodka, cheese, and a Sauna right in our hut. The highlight of the event will be the Zurich-style party on Saturday night, featuring all the crazy rumours you heard and didn’t hear about our LC ;) Trust us, you don't want to miss this!

Q&A:

  • Q: How expensive are the skiing tickets?
    • A: Skiing tickets are included in the price, so you’re covered ;)
  • Q: What is included in the fee?
    • A: See above
  • Q: What if I come by car directly to the mountain?
    • A: This will save you the price of the train ticket.
  • Q: Can I come without skiing?
    • A: Yes. I mean, you will get a skiing ticket, we do not care what you (legally) do with it.
  • Q: Do you have something against snowboards?
    • A: No, but we were lazy when composing this text. Skiing = snowboarding in this text.
  • Q: Why are there 69 spots?
    • A: Because we can.
  • Q: Can I rent gear in Switzerland?
    • A: Yes, you can. See Survival Notes for more information.
  • Q: I don’t know how to ski/I’m a beginner. Do you offer courses?
    • A: We will try! See Survival Notes for more information.
  • Q: Does it matter how quickly I sign up?
    • A: Yes! It is better explained in the Survival Notes, but basically it’s first come, first served!
  • Q: What if my question is not in the Q&A?
    • A: Check the Survival Notes.
    • If it is not there or unclear ask the event’s contact Tim Benz, Telegram @benztim0, benzti@student.ethz.ch
