It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the
Santa Barbara Ski and Sports Club for another exciting season of fun.
We've had a great year filled with adventurous and exciting trips as
well as great social events, including: themed parties, summer sports;
tennis, golf, camping, hiking, kayaking, bowling, bike riding and
more.
I've been a member of the ski club for the
past 7 years and my skiing has improved tenfold since I joined. I've
also met wonderful people who have become best friends. You don't have
to be an expert skier/snowboarder to join, we always select
destinations that will be enjoyable for all levels and offer many
options...including shopping! We also welcome snowboarders, many of
our members are, and organize trips that are appealing to both
boarders and skiers at all levels.
Our kick-off meeting for the winter season
will take place in September at the Chase Palm Park Recreation Center
located at 236 E. Cabrillo Blvd. When you join at the Kick-off
meeting, you will receive our ski-club newsletter "The Sitzmark".
Meetings are scheduled from September to April on the 1st and 3rd
Wednesday of the month and are held at Chase Palm Park Recreation
Center. At these meetings, members sign up for trips, listen to fun
and entertaining guests, get a chance to participate in the raffle,
volunteer/get involved in other club sponsored events and
socialize/meet new friends.
Our enthusiastic board is in the process of
planning some great trips for the 2008/09 seasons. These are
affordable, fun and well-organized events that will make it easy for
everyone. We are still in the process of finalizing the new trips
however some of the options include: Mammoth, Vail - Colorado, Lake
Tahoe and more.
Membership in our club is very affordable and
is a great way to participate in other activities at a discount. You
can download the application on this website and bring/mail it in, and
join at anytime. Our roster is up to 250 members, ages from 21 to 80.
The club has been in existence for over 50 years and is a Santa
Barbara institution.
Come join the fun, meet wonderful active
people and have an awesome time. Be sure to visit our website calendar
for year round fun filled events.
Best,
Lily
