4T+ Ski Club - About Us

Our club was started in the mid 1980's by skiers looking for others of their age group to ski with. The focus of the club is downhill skiing however cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are options. We have grown to a group of about 80 people or so which varies from year to year.

We are a group of skiers in our forties and older. Most of us live in the Vancouver B.C. area. We have the north shore mountains -Grouse, Seymour and Cypress Mountains on our back doorstep.

About ten weekends from January to early April we rent cabins in Whistler. The cabins are lovely places usually with a hot tub. Skiers go up, some Friday morning others Friday evening and stay Friday & Saturday nights, then return on Sunday. Car sharing is common. Someone in the cabin will usually organize a pot luck for Saturday evening, which always turns out to be a wonderful meal with appetizers, salad, a main meal, and desert.

We have two general meetings each year, combined with a wine and cheese party. The main meeting is early November when we renew our memberships and sign up for Whistler weekends. At this time we elect our executive.  Sometimes someone will organize a longer ski trip in B.C. or the U.S. as well. At the spring meeting we also organize summer activities, - there  is usually an activity each month and may include hikes, bike rides & trips, golf, etc. As well, we have an annual Christmas brunch.
