      Your Ski Club
      Needs You!

      Ski season might be over…but the fun continues.

      We are looking forward to bike rides and happy hours but with your help as volunteers the possibilities are almost endless.

      Thoughts include kayaking, ball games, fowling, whirly ball, feather bowling, and ax throwing (ok not my idea…).

      If you are interested in hosting, please contact your Activities Coordinators, Vicki or Darlene.

          Musketawa Bike Trip

          Trip leaders Diane Wise and Ken Shannon invite you to join fellow bicyclers to ride this scenic, paved and predominately flat trail through pastoral fields, shady groves and farmlands in western Michigan. The 26-mile trail offers several trailheads to meet other riders, rest, continue or turn around and head back. June 1 - 3.

                      A2SC Mobile App

                      The Ann Arbor Ski Club has a mobile app.  It runs on IOS and Android.  Jeff Crawford has written a nice piece on how to download the app.

                      Members have reported problems with the app.  An upgrade will correct the issue.  You have to delete it from your phone, then reload.
