The Mogul Meister Ski Club is an
volunteer organization that arranges ski trips for our members
to resorts worldwide but we are much more: we also have a full
slate of year round social and recreational activities.
Based
in White Plains, New York, the club's membership
draws mainly from the tri-state area. The only requirements for
membership in the club are that: (1) you be over 18 years of age
and (2) have a love of skiing and the comradery and friendship
that goes with it. Individuals younger than 18 can join with a
family membership and must be accompanied by a parent on club
outings. Don't worry about your ski skills. The club welcomes
skiers of all abilities. We have members that never skied until
they joined the club and a few people that jump off cliffs ( ON
PURPOSE ) and everything in between.; indeed, joining the club
is an excellent way to get serious about your skiing.
The club advocates safe recreational alpine skiing. The club
encourages members to improve their skiing technique through
education and practice and discourages reckless skiing. The club
also advocates for prudent natural resource management and
continuous improvement of ski destinations.
The club has an active roster of social events all year
round, including happy hours, clam bake, baseball and football
games, softball, outdoor concerts and festivals. The club has a
web site and newsletter where you can find out about club
activities and ski trips. Members can submit articles on skiing
and snowboarding to the board for publication on the web site
and newsletter.
The annual club membership fee is $45. Membership entitles
you to one vote on matters brought before the general membership
and is required for participation in club outings lasting longer
than three days. Non-members may go on weekend trips by paying a
$25 non-member fee.
"What I have found best about the club is that
everyone here likes to ski. Before I joined, I used to try
to
convert people. What a drag – you have to wait for them,
there is always the drama, hemming and hawing. You won’t
find posers here – just people who like to ski."
Do you think you might be a Mogul Meister?
There is one way to find out. Individuals interested in joining
the club are welcome to attend general meetings which are held
the first and third Tuesday of every month, except during the
summer when they are held on the first Tuesday. The club holds
an Open House party on the first Thursday in September (annual
dues are due September 1). The open house is an opportunity for
members to reconnect and regroup after the withering heat of
summer and make plans for the upcoming season. You can download
a membership application
