Sign up ski trips. Log into the Wiki and look under “Ski Trips”. We have started snow shoe and cross country ski groups, who organize day trips to local venues. Log into the Wiki and look under ” Snowshoeing” and “X-country Skiing”.
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 some choose. 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 or mid-weeks, 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 on the week-end trips. Similar arrangements are made on mid-week trips. Car sharing is common. Someone in the cabin will usually organize a pot luck for one or both evenings. These always turns out to be a wonderful meals with appetizers, salads, a main meal, and desert.
We have two general meetings each year, each is combined with a wine and cheese party. The main meeting is early November when we renew our memberships and sign up for Whistler weekend or mid-week trips. At this time we elect our executive with the exception of the week-end/mid-week trip organizers and treasurer who are very busy at that time. They are elected in the spring meeting. Usually 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.
