Did you know the U boasts one of Utah’s largest outdoor equipment rental shops—and one of the biggest on any college campus in the country? Outdoor Adventures offers an impressive array of gear, from rafts, mountain bikes, and rock-climbing equipment to skis, snowboards, and winter clothing. Equipment rental is open to all, and students get some gnarly discounts. But that’s not all—they also organize over 15 student group trips each semester, perfect for meeting fellow outdoor enthusiasts and learning new skills.

With seven world-renowned resorts within a 45-minute drive, you can go from campus to slopes in no time. Just ask Christian Raguse BA’20, our new @UtahAlumni social media manager and an outdoor sports photographer, who captured this exhilarating image of John Michael Fabrizi on a jump in Little Cottonwood Canyon.

When you’re ready to get outside and gear up for any season, visit campusrec.utah.edu and give @uofuoutdooradventures a follow on Instagram for rental and trip information.
