...The Huntsville Ski Club concentrates on vacation ski trips to destination resorts and our trips typically run 5-7 days.  As a group, our Trip Leaders, bargain with travel agents to keep costs reasonable.  We normally stay in quality condo or hotel properties located near or on the slopes with nearby shops and restaurants.  You can see the types of resorts we visit by reviewing our current and our past ski trips.  Our members have many things in common and one of them is the love of snow skiing!  On any given trip you’ll find HSC members waiting for the lifts to open in the morning and on the last lift up at the end of the day before the lifts close down.

...The Board has approved seven trips so far for the 2009 season. The trips are:
Date Location Trip Leader
Jan 17-24 Aspen/Snowmass, Co Cancelled
Jan 24-31 Telluride, Co Janet Emery
Jan 31-Feb 6 Monarch, Co Sue Chatham
Feb 7-14 Salt Lake City, Ut Tom Dollman
Feb 21-28 Schweitzer Mountain, Id Vonette Hartsfield
Feb 28- Mar 7 Whitefish, Mt Janet Emery
Mar 14-21 Winter Park, Co Missy Maturo

... And don't forget we have special ski trips through our association with Crescent Ski Council.  See Crescent Ski Trips

 ...Sign-ups for the SIX 2009 trips started in June and there was a great response from the membership at the meeting.  Some of the trips received numerous sign ups, while some had just a few.  All the trips have more slots open.  Now is the time to sign-up to reserve your space on your favorite trip(s) before the trip is full or the trip is cancelled because it does not meet the minimum requirements.  Review the information on each of the trips and contact the Trip Leader to signed up.

...Now the hunt is on for trip leaders for the 2010 ski year.  I have been to a Mountain Travel Symposium (MTS) and gathered a lot of information and established new contacts on Ski Mountains around the world.  I have information from ski locations the club has been to and information from ski locations the club as never been to.  If you are interested in running a ski trip (alpine, nordic, cross country or all the above) in 2010 please contact me.
