      Hot Topics

      July Picnic

      The 2nd Ski Club picnic of 2025 is:

         Thursday, July 17 from 6-9

         at the Burns Park Warming Hut:

            1300 Baldwin Ave

            Ann Arbor, MI 48104

            (corner of Wells and Baldwin)

      The club provides burgers and hot dogs, condiments, plates and utensils, plus wine, beer and soft drinks. Please bring a dish to share (optional).

      FREE for paid ski club members, $10 for guests.

      We need your help! Please sign up here.

      The Cataract Rafting Leaders have set up a Pictured Rocks trip with camping at the Tahquamenon state park for July 17-20. We will be camping at the lower falls campground and space is limited. If you are interested,  please contact Dan Flynn at (810) 588-8765 or email.

      Basic Itinerary:

      • Hike pictured rocks (10+miles)
      • Kayak Lake Superior to see Pictured Rocks (3-4 Hours)
      • Hike Tahquamenon falls. 
      Due to the distance to Pictured Rocks (1.7 hrs. drive) those days will be fully remote from the campsite.

      Corn Roast

      This year's Corn Roast will be held on
      Saturday, August 16 from 4-8 pm at
      Burns Park (same location as the picnics).


      The club provides grilled corn and hot dogs, condiments, plates and utensils, plus wine, beer and soft drinks.


      Music by Sugartips Acoustic - sponsored by Encompasse Tours

      $5 for paid ski club members, $10 for guests.

      St. Anton's Trip Spots Available

      The St. Anton's trip has only 10 people signed up, and time is running out! We need at least 10 more people to keep the trip. If you're interested, please contact Dan Flynn.

      Next issue: Wednesday, July 23.
