AntiFreeze
AntiFreeze is UASUevents’ week-long winter tournament, held the first week back in the winter semester! Dating back to its snowy origins as a 1913 shovel showdown, now 40 teams of 8-12 players compete in 10 indoor and outdoor games for the ultimate prize: an all-expenses-paid ski trip to Jasper! With events like Amazing Race-style adventure, speed-eating contests, dance-offs, obstacle courses, and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy! Open all University of Alberta students, so grab your squad and bring the heat!
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Good luck to all teams participating!
This is a preview of the schedule and details here are subject to change. Captains should consult their full team package for official rules, event times, and participant information.

- Teams sleds can be dropped off at Dinwoodie Lounge during waiver signing on January 6th.
- A Picture is Worth a Hundred Brrs
