Sofia Routh

Hi! I’m Sofia, I’m an English and French law student. You have probably heard me screaming my heart out at Kings cheering on UCL or crying of laughter at my own jokes. I love skiing. When I arrived at UCL and heard that we have a ski team, I saw no other option than to join. I started the year as a racer and then got roped into freestyle by Drew, Charlie and Cosmo and thanks to their brilliant coaching, I somehow managed to podium so I feel I have a good understanding of both.

My perfect day on the slopes definitely includes the après. Trip and AJAM have made me love everything from R&B to house music. If I haven’t dragged you there already you can always find me passionately but embarrassingly dancing on the dance floor or on the odd wonky table on trip. Most importantly, I feel I try my best to create a fun easy environment. I am down for a laugh or a chat no matter what the subject is. Many people say I am a sociable, outgoing, spontaneous (but organised) person - and on a bay day, I can be a French law student to get us the best deals, venues and events.

I adore the communal family-like atmosphere in Snowsports. I would like to keep this going and make it more inclusive towards newcomers and beginner skiers. Snowsports socials should be a place you can bring your friends for a fun night out and, who knows, they might even want to join just for our events. I believe we need to liven up Wednesday nights, increase our numbers, instil traditions and send it with our themes.
