They're hidden around the valley in plain sight. Pass through the doors and enter a world of ski culture, fueled by skiers and snowboarders passionate about their sports. Ski clubs are social spots, providing sleeping quarters, kitchen, common room, bathrooms, parties, dances and other events. Discounted lift tickets, travel opportunities, ski racing, and local deals are benefits. Pay annual dues, help with some housekeeping and enjoy the club year-round. Members are voted in; bring guests.
