What we’re about
***** PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL CURRENT CA AND NV STATE COVID-19 TRAVEL, GATHERINGS AND STAY-AT-HOME RESTRICTIONS *****
This group is for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels to meet others who love to ski or ride. Our common interest is a passion for sking or boarding and our goal is simple… to get out on the snow and have FUN!
During the season we'll hold monthly meetings (mixers/happy hours), organize day & weekend trips, car-pool, etc. (and occasionally, a few trips out of the area; like Colorado, Whistler, etc). We'llalso partner with other ski clubs or Meetup groups for combined activities. Anyone who wants to assist with organizing an event or get-togethers at a particular area or resort is welcome to become an Assistant Organizer; just ping Clint. Ideally, we'll have Organizers for each Reno, North Shore, South Shore, West Shore & possibly Carson/Minden/Gardnerville.
Everyone is welcome; singles, couples, families; all ages; whether new to the area or a long-term Reno/Tahoe resident. Sign-up, watch for the meetup postings & get ready for another GREAT snow season in Tahoe with a bunch of new friends on the mountain!!
BTW, the main photo posted is Moglmasher... on a "PowderBumps" day on Gunbarrel. Two thumbs up!

See all- Swedish Lapland Cross-Country Hut to Hut Ski TripPadjelanta National Park, Jokkmokk
Join Saveur the Journey for a hut-to-hut cross country ski expedition through the vast scenery of Sweden’s Laponia World Heritage Site. Swedish Lapland during the late spring is my favorite place for a hut-to-hut ski trek. Winding through the remote valleys and gentle slopes of Laponia World Heritage Site in early April one is treated to long days and often fine weather while the snow still lays in a thick blanket. There is enough darkness that you have an excellent chance of seeing Aurora Borealis, “pale gossamer curtains of light” as author Barry Lopez calls them in Arctic Dreams, but the extreme cold of winter has subsided. Comfortable wilderness cabins with a woodstove, pure and clean water drawn straight from a hole in the ice, and the delicious foods of Lapland; moose, reindeer, lingonberries, smoked fish, excellent cheeses and sausage, and strong coffee make for an amazing experience.
Discover the vast scenery of Laponia World Heritage Site with the great lakes and the high peaks in the horizon. We will use the hut system and travel by ski between the huts, carrying only light packs. Our food and overnight gear will be transported by snowmobile to the huts. In the vast wilderness of Laponia we can escape cell phone service, the hustle and bustle of our normal lives, and relax into the rhythms of nature. In the simplicity of our days, with snow stretching away from us in every direction, we can slow down, find time for reflection, and let ourselves be seduced by the unique beauty of the Arctic.
