Young Skiers, Looking for Group Ski Trips?

Question

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for group ski trips in the USA. It seems that the only things out there are for ski clubs, or for large groups (50+ people, and those are usually for schools, church groups, etc).

Basically, I am looking for something that offers a "sign up" for a trip... around ages 20 - 40, and smaller group sizes (12 - 18 people). Perhaps some travel agents offer trips like this? I did find ONE sign up for ski season 2009, but it was for Europe.... I really want to stick to the USA for cost reasons.

Anyone know of any tours / agents / groups that offer sign up group trips?

Answer 1

No harm in signing up for a ski club.  My local one only charges $25/year in dues, and I'm sure you save that much by going on just one trip.

Lots of cities have ski clubs.  Here is a list of ski clubs under the umbrella of the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council - in other words, clubs within a few hundred miles of Chicago.

If you don't live in this region, there may be another council and/or clubs near you.  Just try googling the name of your city followed by "ski club".

Answer 2

Why not start one yourself?  Many others will probably join you.  These are social sports as much as snow sports.  Your age group may be a limiting factor for midweek.  Also ask about group rate lessons for the ski school at your destination area, or maybe just a tour guide for the morning.
