Sign up below to let other ski club members know you will be there. Guests welcome.
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
It's Summer paddle time! What better way to spend a summer evening than to be out on the water with fellow ski club members!
Where: We'll meet in the large waterfront parking lot (to right of the boat launch), which can be seen as you drive down the entrance road. We'll enjoy the lake for a couple of hours. Afterwards, we'll meet at The Scoop Ice Cream shop on Rt 11 in Whitney Point for some ice cream treats!
What to bring: Bring your kayak, canoe, small sailboat or paddle board. Or you can rent a kayak (single or double), canoe, paddle board, paddle boat, row boat or small sailboat for just $5 or $10 an hour* after a $20 deposit, that's returned once the watercraft is brought back. The last rental takes place at 6 p.m. and must be returned by 7 p.m. *Veterans and seniors 60+can rent rowboats and canoes for $5 an hour. Kayaks are $10 an hour for everybody
Helpful Tip: It's a good idea to come earlier to be on the water to give yourself enough time if you're renting. Rentals are first come, first served. Renters need to paddle to the waterfront where cars are parked to meet up with those who have their own watercraft.

Arrive when you can. We'll start out with whoever is ready to go and others can catch up. Notify host, Jill Darling, if you arrive later so we know you're part of the group and out on the water. We go down the lake a ways and then turn around to come back.
Looking forward to seeing folks..!! Your Ski Club Activities Committee: Eileen and Jill

Ski Trip to Mt. Bachelor, Bend, Oregon
We are joining EPSC’s 2027 Winter Carnival!
*$2100 Per Person, Double Occupancy, Using Your Ikon Pass
The 2027 Eastern Pennsylvania Ski Council Winter Carnival will be held at Mt. Bachelor in Bend, Oregon! If you enjoy the social aspects of skiing, this is the trip for you! We've heard the carnival trips with the council are a blast! There will be a gala banquet with a DJ and and dancing, a welcome reception, and ski racing. Come meet new friends from our council at all these great activities! Mt. Bachelor averages over 400 feet of snowfall each season and is the largest ski resort in the Pacific Northwest. But it’s easy to navigate despite the whopping 4,323 skiable acres. And it’s a VOLCANO! How often can you say you could ski 360º off the top of a volcano? No worries – the last eruption was 10,000 years ago. And, you get to stay in the high desert oasis of Bend, an authentic mountain town chock-full of charm, great après-adventure entertainment, friendly people, tax-free shopping, over 30 craft breweries, distilleries, 300 days of sunshine and a hidden Broom Closet Speak Easy – see if you can find it for a discreet drink!
Don’t let the idea of a “race” deter you. The Carnival Race is a “FUN” Race and anyone who can ski at more than a real beginner level can have a great time participating in the races. The racecourse is typically set up for intermediate type skiers and in a Giant Slalom format. Even if you have never raced before, you should give it a shot. It’s lots of fun and it is great to participate together with our fellow club members, plus we could win awards too! We encourage you to give it a try!! And, you'll get a Race Day lunch voucher!

With expansive bowls, stunning lake views, and a welcoming village, Schweitzer, Idaho, is a hidden gem of the Pacific Northwest ski scene. Schweitzer, the largest ski area in Idaho, offers diverse terrain, from groomed cruisers to glades and steep bowls overlooking Lake Pend Oreille.
