King of Prussia Ski Club (KOPSC) is a highly active skiing, social and recreational club for adults 21 and over, established in 1964. We have over 500 members from all over the Philadelphia area. Our year-around calendar of activities includes skiing, hiking, kayaking, cycling, tennis and Friday Happy Hours. We have ski trips to local areas and major ski destinations like Telluride, Crested Butte, Snowbird, Whitefish-Fernie, Quebec City, Stowe, Sugarbush, and Lake Placid. Many KOPSC activities are open to non-members as well as members.
KOPSC membership costs $35/year and entitles you to monthly newsletters, access to register for ski trips, notification of last-minute events, and member discounts.

NOTE: joining the Meetup group gets you into a flow of information about club events, many of which are free to attend, BUT IT DOES NOT provide you with a full membership. Full membership is necessary for overnight trips such as a weekend or week-long ski trip. Club dues help to pay for our monthly meeting space at the Jeffersonville Golf Club.

Okemo-2025 | kopsc (kingofprussiaskiclub.com) - Steamboat ColoradoNeeds location
$2,770 per person/double occupancy // *** currently waitlisted ***
The 2025 Eastern Pennsylvania Ski Council Winter Carnival will be held in Steamboat, Colorado! If you have not been to Steamboat recently, you need to see what they have done with the place. Steamboat has invested $200 million in the resort – a new gondola, more skiable acres, improvements to the base area, and more! If you enjoy the social aspects of skiing, this is the trip for you! There is a gala with dinner and dancing, a welcome reception, and ski racing. Come meet new ski friends from our region at all these great activities.
Steamboat is the fifth largest ski resort in Colorado with 2,965 acres (1,200 hectares) of terrain, 169 named trails, and 3,668 feet of vertical. The terrain is spread across six peaks, providing a variety of aspects. Steamboat Ski Resort is serviced by 18 lifts, which include a gondola and six high-speed chairlifts. The whole resort is below the tree line, so there are no alpine bowls and only a couple of chutes, but the glade skiing for advanced riders is rave-worthy. Tree-lined groomers and moguls make up the rest of the terrain, as well as an impressive terrain park and superpipe. Steamboat is paradise for intermediates. Forty-two percent of the trails are blue, and many of the single black runs are also great for strong intermediate riders.Trip Includes:
- Roundtrip airfare from Philadelphia to Hayden, Colorado
- Bus transportation to resort
- Seven nights at Storm Meadows 2-bedroom condos
- 5-day lift tickets
- Welcome reception
