What we’re about
Welcome to the Meetup group for the Philly Freeriders Snowboard and Ski Club (PFR)!
PFR is a Philly-based social snowboarding and skiing club. We organize several ski/snowboard trips throughout the country every winter/early spring and get together locally for monthly social events. Our members are younger in body AND mind, mostly in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Our experience levels vary from first timers to cliff-jumping experts. Regardless of your skill level, you are bound to find somebody you can hang with on a group trip.
We are a non traditional ski club that operates without elected positions, affiliations, membership dues, and itinerary-based trips.
Upcoming trips are listed on meetup.com. If you have any questions on them send a message to the trip host. Most overnight trips require payment to be put on the 'going' list. Trips sell out fast so make sure to get your payment in as soon as you are sure you can commit.

See all- PFR Zermatt - Switzerland 2025Zermatt Ski Resort, Zermatt, VS
PFR discovered Europe in 2024. The ski towns, the experience, and most importantly the skiing; blow anything in the US out of the water. If you are sick of American lift lines, mountains that get skied out within 30 minutes of opening, and inadequate lift facilities; join us on our European adventures.
This is a book your own room trip, details can be found in the write-up (link below). The first hotel we targeted (Alphubel) is almost completely sold out . Only 1 triple and 1 quad room are still available (we booked the other 27 rooms). There's 10+ other great lodging locations listed in the write-up. For a cheap option in the center of town, I recommend Hotel Petit Helvetia. Le Petit Charme-Inn would also work well. It's in between the center of town and the main cable-car. Starting at $665 for single and $1,108 for double rooms.
