The Swiss Academic Ski Club (SAS for short) was founded in 1924 and has around 1200 members (as of 2020) in seven sections: Basel, Bern, Friborg, Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and Norway (Norge). The Norge section consists of Norwegians who have studied at a Swiss university and are now living in Norway again. The SAS is an association (see Article 60 of the Civil Code) and promotes the compatibility of sport and study. As the regional association of Swiss-Ski , it offers sports services in the areas of alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and mountaineering.
history

The shaking rhyme of the club song:
D'r SAS, dä isch im Jääs.
Let's arrange it.
Let’s run.
Never write it down.
I'm söüwohl.
Club life
The highest body is the assembly of delegates, consisting of members of the various sections. Every three years it elects a central president who is responsible for the formation and management of the central board. The latter coordinates the activities of the sections and leads the SAS. The current central president is Christoph Nater (2019–2022).
On behalf of Swiss University Sports , the SAS organizes the annual Swiss university championships in Alpine and Nordic skiing.

The season highlights include the Anglo-Swiss , Italo-Suisse and the Pentathlon.

The mountain hare
The snow hare documents the history and development of skiing and ski mountaineering since the founding year of the FIS and the SAS in 1924. The focus is on tradition, innovation, personalities and club life. Interviews and portraits of personalities in snow sports appear in the snow hare. He is the literary reflection of the SAS. The mountain hare is unique in the world, has been writing skiing history for almost 100 years, is the literary reflection of the SAS, looks back proudly and curiously into the future, is mostly trilingual and therefore international and reflects the unique SAS spirit. The SAS club magazine appears every four years.
