Whether you are a novice who hasn’t even seen snow, or you take to the slopes like an Olympian, ski clubs have plans for you. The clubs schedule a roster of trips to winter wonderlands each year, and the trips are open to skiers of all skill levels.
In addition to ski trips each winter, many clubs have a year-round schedule of activities including parties, picnics, golf outings and more. Another benefit is that the club takes care of details such as airline tickets, lodging, lift tickets, ground transfers, etc.
Each winter the clubs plan a variety of trips to popular U.S. resorts like and Steamboat Springs, Telluride, and Vail, Colo., as well as to international spots like Maddona di Campiglio, Italy, and St. Moritz, Switzerland. Some are Florida Ski Council trips, attended by clubs from various parts of the state, so they offer even more opportunities to make friends with people who share an interest in skiing.
Below is a selection of some ski trips this season. Most prices are per person, double occupancy, and are subject to change, as are the trip dates, itineraries and other details such as, in some cases, the inclusion of air and lift tickets in the price. Triple and quad occupancy may be available. Club membership dues are usually required.
