Skiing Cuppers this year rolled around earlier in the term than last, meaning that pre-Varsity trip enthusiasm was tangible.

Ten teams from Cambridge battled it out to be crowned champions of 2012. The two strongest colleges of recent years, Trinity and John’s, predictably made it to the final. A close race saw John’s reverse the result from 2011 to seal an impressive victory, made even sweeter by beating Oxford’s best team, St Anne’s, in the grand final.

The competition was a roaring success: skiers of all levels attempted to win glory for their college, before attention now turns to the Blues races and the second instalment of Cuppers on the Varsity Trip.

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
