      Corn Roast is SATURDAY,
      August 24


      The 2024 Corn Roast will be held this 
      SATURDAY, August 24, 5-9 pm
      at the Ypsi Freighthouse
      100 Market Pl, Ypsilanti, MI 48198

      We need your help! Please sign up here to volunteer.

      Please bring a dish to pass.

      Signups for the Instructional Trip start at the
      Corn Roast


      The Instructional Trip to Schuss/Shanty Creek is a great early season tune up! It includes (optional) downhill or cross-country lessons for beginners to advanced skiers.


      We've moved it one weekend later, to start on Friday, January 10, so that it's not immediately after New Year's.


      Signups begin at the Corn Roast.

      Greg Robertson.

      Movie Night is Back!


      On the first Tuesday of every month, meet at 5:00 PM at Red Robin for their Happy Hour drinks and a bite to eat. If you don't feel like watching a movie, stop in for dinner, a drink and conversation.

      Then we will head across the street for a movie at Cinemark Ann Arbor 20 IMAX. (Tuesday is discount night.)

      Hosted by Nancy Noll.

      Fall (School) Colors Picnic


      Last picnic of the season! Wear the colors of the team you root for (or not), and join us at the Burns Park shelter at 1300 Baldwin Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48104.

      Hot dogs, hamburgers, condiments, beer, wine, water and paper products will be supplied. Bring a dish to share (optional).

      Please sign up here to help!

      Free to paid Ski Club members, $5 for guests. Hosted by Anne Gilbert.
