Gators are in Steamboat to defend their "Florida Cup" in January!
The
Gator Snow Ski Club was started in the 1970s by some
transplanted Pratt Whitney employees who wanted to go skiing
with their friends. They took their name from the
alligators in the swamp behind their lunchroom. Over the
years the club has continued to thrive because of the
camaraderie among the members, and how there is no such
thing as strangers, just friends you haven’t met yet.
Our
ski program continues to be one of the best around, with 6 trips
this year with a destination to meet everyone’s taste. We are
starting the season off early this year, with a December trip to
Vail. Next up is the Florida Ski Council trip in January to
Steamboat followed by a sweetheart trip to Crested Butte for
Valentine’s Day. We have a 10 day trip to Heavenly/San
Francisco/Wine Country, which offers 10 days of skiing,
sightseeing and wine tastings. March brings our trips to Copper
Mountain, CO and we end the season with our Spring Break trip to
Canyons, Utah. There is something for everyone, with the
average trip including 30 to 50 members, you always have a lot
of friends to have fun with both on and off the slopes. There
are always skiers of different abilities, whether you are a
thrill seeker on the double Blacks or a new skier trying to get
your ski legs.
This year, we
revised our name to the Gator Snow Ski and Activities Club, to
reflect that we are much more than just a ski club. In addition
to our ski fabulous ski program, we offer many Social events and
Special Activities throughout the year. In recent years we have
taken trips to Ireland and Scotland, Paris, Machu Picchu and the
Galapagos
Islands. We have weekend outings closer to home to Naples and
SpringLake for golf weekends, River Ranch for western fun, and
to Rainbow on the Ocean for a beach party. Every Friday night
we have scheduled Happy Hours to mingle with your Gators friends
and discuss your week. Whatever the activity or event, you
always have your Gator friends to join in on the fun.
We hold our
General Membership meetings the second Thursday of each month,
and beginning in January, 2012 our new home will be at the North Palm Beach Country Club. Social and
signup time starts at 7:00pm with the meeting at 8:00 pm.
From the
sunny beaches of Florida, to the highest mountain peaks, and
everywhere in between, the Gator Snow Ski & Activities Club is
the place to have fun with your friends, even if you don’t know
them yet. |
