We are a ski club run for members by members. Our club motto is “Think Snow” – we do all the time!
But just because we don’t get snow year round doesn’t mean we stop. Our foundation is built around snow-sports and the winter, but our club is active all year round. On season we run plenty of weekend trips to resorts in the Northeast and several week long trips out West or to Europe. Off season we don’t stop: hiking, biking, happy hours, beach meet-ups and socializing are just a few of our activities.
Our members are active men and women who live in the NJ/NY area. The majority of our members are in their 20’s & 30’s. (While we have no age limits, you do have to be 21 to join.) Whether you’re a skier, snowboarder, or just like social activities, our club has something for you. Unlike some other ski clubs where you must attend every meeting, volunteer for duties, be voted in by nomination, etc…we do none of that. We realize everyone has their own lives and a busy schedule. Come to our meetings as often as you like, or as little as your schedule permits. Our membership gives you access to all activities year round and a great group of people. Not to mention HUGE discounts at area mountains on lift tickets and member appreciation days.
To come see what we are all about, join us at one of our meetings, or reach our to us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
