      Hot Topics

      Halloween Party is
      TOMORROW at the Ypsi Freighthouse!

      We are still looking for a few more volunteers. Please sign up here to help!

      Signups Continue for the Instructional Trip

      Sign ups continue for the Instructional at Shanty Creek, but space is limited. You can sign up at the Halloween party or via mail.

      70th Gala Tickets on Sale

      Tickets for our 70th Gala on December 5 are now on sale. Early Bird pricing (until Nov. 26) is $20 for members and $30 for guests. Click here for more information and to purchase a ticket.

      There will be information at the Halloween party. Look for the information table about the Gala.

      Terrace Inn 2025

      The annual Terrace Inn weekend is February 7-9, 2025. The Terrace Inn has new owners and as a result, some costs, policies, and deadlines are different than what you may be used to.  

      Signups will begin November 14 at the XC kickoff.   Signups will CLOSE on December 15, 2024. We must turn names and rooms in earlier than usual this year, so you will have to commit quickly. Additionally, the normal trip cancellation policy will now have to be enforced.  

      The trip is a club favorite and usually sells out.   Traditionally, we downhill ski at Nubs Nob on Friday, Boyne Highlands on Saturday and Boyne Mountain on Sunday. The XC and snowshoe people generally make it up on the fly, as does the shopping contingent. Full details are available here.
