The Palm Beach Gator Snow Ski Club is a group of active, fun-loving, sports-minded people who live in sunny South Florida (mainly Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast), but also share a love for winter activities. Our founding fathers adopted the alligator logo because of its association with South Florida. They did not intend to emulate any University or College.

Message from your President, Evie Houston: 


Hello Gators,


The group has returned from Big Sky, but some of them moseyed on over to Jackson Hole to ski for another week.


Big Sky was fabulous. We had lots of snow, sunny skies and beautiful weather.


The crew is still skiing in Jackson Hole right now. They are getting snow today. Jackson Hole is a wonderful mountain, a little difficult, but absolutely fantastic to ski.


Our happy hours are fantastic and that’s where you can meet other people and talk about what ski trips suit you.


Also our Special Activities trips that do not include skiing are fabulous trips. They are well planned and well thought out and everyone has a blast when they come on them. So again, be sure to check our website so that you’ll be one of the lucky ones who get to be on our trips.


Thank you very much. Think snow!


Evie Houston, President

Our Iceland adventure was a huge hit with 27 Gators, and we returned home on October 30, 2024, with unforgettable memories!


After an overnight flight, we touched down in Reykjavik on Thursday, October 24th, where our excitement kicked off with a city exploration followed by a thrilling Lava Tube Tour.


The next day, we dove deeper into Reykjavik's history and charm, visiting landmarks like the iconic Hallgrimskirkja and the Pearl Museum, capped off with a chance to marvel at the Northern Lights.


The excitement didn’t stop there! Saturday brought us to Iceland's stunning landscapes, with a glacier hike and a tour through the breathtaking Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where we explored the majestic Kirkjufell and the striking Black Sand Beach.


On Sunday, we visited the awe-inspiring Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls before heading to Vik.  


Monday’s adventure took us along the Golden Circle, featuring the geothermal wonder of Geysir, the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, and the historical Thingvellir National Park.


Our final day, Tuesday, was spent discovering the Reykjanes Peninsula, including a relaxing soak in the world-famous Blue Lagoon, followed by a farewell dinner to toast to an amazing trip.

Message from the VP of Ski Trips 


Hello Gators!


So our ski season is off to a great start.  Our FSC ski trip has returned from Snowmass where 34 Gators enjoyed the FSC races, parties and skiing with the other ski clubs from Florida. 


We have Big  Sky and Jackson Hole leaving over the next few weeks.  We still have some space on our Italy Dolomites trip so check that out if you want a spring ski trip.


The 2026 Ski Trips are on Sale.  I am still looking for a few trip leaders.  We have FSC ski trip in January to Telluride, Sun Valley, Winter Park and Purgatory to start.


If you want to experience skiing in Europe watch for our trip to Spain with a side trip to experience Spain’s Carnival after we finish skiing a week.


Reminder, our club is interested in offering ski trips that our members want.  If you have any ideas or would like to help with planning these trips, please contact me.  

We are always looking for good trip leaders.

 

Think Snow!


Thank you,

Kelly Lunsford
