2024 Alpine Trip
Planning

Hey members, your Alpine ski trip planning committee has been working on narrowing down destinations for 2024. We took a hard look at the membership votes on the big boards that Alan set up at the corn roast and other meetings. We mixed in some other sources, evaluated the outcome and compiled a list of destinations. Our regional list....

Colorado

  • Aspen
  • Steamboat
  • Crested Butte
  • Copper Mountain

Wyoming

  • Jackson Hole

Utah

  • Alta
  • Snowbird
  • Snowbasin
  • Deer Valley

Idaho

  • Sun Valley
  • Schwietzer Mountain

Europe - Lisa Salsibury trip leader

Do you want to help narrow the list or provide input on our destinations for 2024? Contact Jim Kelly about being a trip leader or Co-trip leader. Trip leaders have significant input on our destinations and it's a great way to give back to the club. We can only run trips when we have members step up and run them!
