All Cal Events

The seven participating clubs compete for the All Cal Cup through a wide range of events that test each club's abilities - both on and off the mountain. Participation in the events is, of course, very much optional (some All Cal'ers choose to just spectate and cheer their club on), but it's the events that make All Cal unique. A quick overview of all the events:

  • The Welcome Party
    We know how to start the week off with a bang. After a whole day of shredding through some sick ass Pow Pow, we come back to the lodge, "unwind" a bit, clean up and head to the welcome party where will dance the night away. Here you will meet students from al the other UC's. We will kick off the competitions with the boat races! The theme of this year's Welcome Party is currently in debate.

  • Boat Races
    "What is a boat race?" you ask. It ain't no sissy regatta. The ten fastest competitors from each UC are pitted against each other. Spilling is a no-no, it counts for time penalties. If you've never done this before, ask one of the veterans. What better way to help out your school, Details will be announced later.

  • Flip Cup
    Flip Cup is a staple of every college town, and each school will now put forth their best 10 flip cuppers in a head to head battle to prove who's the very best. It's face- paced and action packed. But this ain't your grandma's flip cup game with a half-flipped red cup. No sir, this game is played with a full flip of the cup.

  • Broomball
    Picture a hockey game. Now take away the skates, the gloves, the competent referees, the skill... well... forget about a hockey game. We've got hot cocoa with a "kick", broom sticks, a little ball and a big patch of ice. There will be two U.C. teams sliding and crashing all over the place like dogs running on linoleum while a fired up mob awaits the imminent carnage.

  • Snow Sculpture
    While Broomball rages on the ice, a group of die-hards from each school takes to the sidelines, each armed with a pile of snow and a total lack of morals in an attempt to create the wildest, wackiest, most hilarious designs ever to be erected in the snow.
    They do this not only to get a few points closer to capturing the coveted All-Cal Cup, but more importantly to have the knowledge that they completely humiliated the other schools in the process. So if you think you've got what it takes hop on the bus, and come check out the "Great White Hype" at All-Cal 2005's Snow Sculpture Contest! (PS its all in good fun so stash the stress)

  • Pub Crawl
    On this is the night we truly take over the town. Hundreds of college crazies hopping from bar to bar. You will find some amazing drink specials and kick it with some of the coolest people. If all goes as planed, you will be crawling by night's end.

  • Snow Volleyball
    Mission: Win at all costs. Weapons: Closed fist and the ability to jump an inch on snow. Handicaps: Snowboard boots tied together, Ski boots. Objective: PENETRATE the opposition's defenses with pin point accuracy on serve and with powerful lolly-pop spikes. The enemy will try to distract you with displays of nudity and with an invitingly warm cup of hot cocoa. Resist the temptation soldier! If you have the discipline to stay the course you will be handsomely rewarded with bragging rights, a plaque, copulation, and maybe the All-Cal Cup. Good luck soldier, and Godspeed.

  • Fun Race
    Ahhhh, the fun race! The ultimate combination of the All-Cal's die-hard skiing/snowboarding nature and its hard-core partying attitude! You don't have to be the fastest skier or boarder to win this event; you just have to be determined! The set-up of the course varies every year to keep things interesting, but what the fun race ultimately comes down to is a crazy obstacle course with pit stops along the way to add some additional challenge. Oh, you want to know what kind of extra challenge, huh? Well we're not gonna tell you 'till you get there so go suck on a lemon (maybe as a chaser ;)

  • NASTAR Race
    Go down hill. Go between gates. Fastest person wins. Need we say more?

  • Race the Mountain
    This is one of the most fun races that exisits... IN THA WORLD. Ok so you get a team 5 people together. Each team has to have 1 female and one snowboarder. Each team is given a checklist of runs they have to complete in the fastest time. Careful planning is a must here as each obstacle will cost you time. Lift ops help us out by checking initialing each lift you ride... The first 3 teams to cross the finish line win points towards that mystical cup you have all heard so much about.

  • Thumper
    Caller: "What's the name of the game?"
    Contestants: "THUMPER!!!"
    Caller: "How do we play?"
    Contestants: "THUMP LIKE HELL!!!"
    Caller: "Why do we play?"
    Contestants: "TO GET F@#%ED UP!!!"

    This is the loudest, fastest, and craziest game you will ever play. Just bring your memory and coordination to the table. Each player has a unique "sign," which must be made with one hand, in one motion. The game goes like this: the caller does their own sign followed by the sign of another player, we will call him Joe Blow Snowboarder. In response Joe Blow does his own sign followed by anyone else's. This continues until someone fucks up. On the third fuck up you are disqualified. Needless to say the more mistakes you make, the more your memory and coordination suffer. Unfortunately memory and coordination are key elements in taking the victory. It's a vicious cycle. So don't fuck up!

  • Dirty Dancing Contest
    Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Gray meets Jenna Jameson & Ron Jeremy in the craziest, most erotic, and sometimes silliest dirty dancing competition ever had between the U.C. schools. Couples (dude/chick, chick/chick/, dude/dude) from each school get down and dirty on the dance floor while a sea of pumped onlookers cheer for their favorite couples. Those with dancing skills and wild attitudes should definitely enter and win points for their school towards the All Cal cup. This is also a very fine spectator sport. Couples are judged on ability, style, costume, creativity, originality, and talent. Props are allowed! Couples are eliminated until the final three are left to battle it out in a steamy, sticky, heated session for first, second, and third place.

    RULES: No nips, pubes or privates... other than that... go buck wild!

  • Farewell Party
    Head out with the rest of the All Calers for one last memorable time night (or at least attempt to remember it. This is a jam-packed night, so you can't miss this one. The dirty dancing and thumper competitions take place at the party. And then the grand finale, the All-Cal champions are presented with the coveted All-Cal Cup. Will UC Santa Barbara do it again?? Can one of the other schools come out on top? You better come and find out!!

... and that, my friend, is a quick five-page summary of the All Cal. You may want to check out the photo section of the website to see past year's trip in action, or feel free to contact your club if you have any questions that haven't been answered.

See you in December!
