Ski Vacations with Ski Clubs

There are many different types of clubs throughout

the world. In fact, there is a club or organization for

just about everything that you can imagine! Skiing is

no exception. Ski clubs are a great way to learn new

things, and to go on ski vacations with other

members. In fact, ski club members often get

discounted rates on ski vacation packages.

No matter where you live, there is a ski club near

you. This is true even if you live in a place that does

not ever get snowfall! These clubs regularly get

together for trips to various mountains, ski areas,

and ski resorts. Some are local clubs, meaning that

the slopes that they ski on are within driving

distance, while others are more national or global,

which means that they not only ski locally, if

possible, but they also plan ski trips.

Again, members of ski clubs often receive deep

discounts on ski vacation packages. Arrangements

are usually made through the club, so that everyone

is eligible for the discounts. The money that is

required from each member for the trip is usually

paid to the club, and the club passes the funds on

to pay for lodging, airfare, meals, lift tickets, and

other perks that are included in the trip. Because

arrangements are being made for a group of people

– which is usually fairly large – discounts are given.

This benefits all members of the club.

The discounts aren’t the only thing to be excited

about. These clubs get together regularly – even if

they aren’t getting together to ski. They join together

for other activities as well, such as cookouts and

fundraisers. Many ski clubs do annual fundraisers to

help less fortunate families and children at Christmas

time. Others do annual fundraisers to help preserve

the environment – which is usually a topic of great

importance to skiers who love being out in the wide

open spaces and fresh air.

While skiing is what brings these groups together in

the first place, it is not necessarily what keeps them

together. Their love of a common sport, and their

common interests and feeling of community is what

keeps them together – and it keeps them skiing

together for years and years. If you are a skier, you

should definitely consider joining a club. It doesn’t

matter – in most cases – what level you are at.

Beginners are usually welcomed, and this is a great

way for beginners to quickly improve their skills and

techniques out on the slopes.
