What we’re about
Piccadilly Ski Club is a Chicago non-profit skiing, snowboarding and activity club based in the Chicago western suburbs. We are a friendly and adventurous group and like to keep active, socialize and travel. We welcome single people and couples to join us. Ages in our club range from 30 to 70, very active adults. Piccadilly members reside in the Downers Grove and surrounding areas, even as far away as South Carolina, Arkansas and Florida.
Since we plan events all year round, there are many opportunities to meet and make new friends through a wide variety of activities, such as skiing, golf, biking, social gatherings, and trips. In our 50+ year history, Piccadilly has planned hundreds of events locally, and traveled the globe extensively. We've taken ski trips throughout the US and Canada, as well as Europe and New Zealand. Non-ski adventures in our club’s travel history have taken us to Antigua, Costa Rica, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Finger Lakes NY, Jamaica, Key West, Mexico, Nashville and New Orleans. Join us today to make new friends and go on your next great adventure.
Club Meetings start at 7:00pm on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays from August thru April; and during the summer months we meet the first Thursday in May, June & July at Miller's Ale House, 455 E Butterfield Road in Lombard, Illinois.

Let me know if you are coming at calh94@yahoo.com so we can get the group section at Jam n' Jelly. Clare Ann & Larry Himmelblau - Cranberry Slough Hike and Lunch at Mo’s Willow Pub!Country Lane Woods parking lot, Willow Springs, IL
Due to a Great turnout, and lots of fun last year, we are going to do a repeat on this fabulous hike and brew event! Another twofer for the books!!
Cranberry Slough Nature Preserve was only the fifth nature preserve in Illinois when it was dedicated in 1965. Distinguished by its peat bog ecosystem cradled by rolling upland woods, the site is a relic of the glacial era and supports habitats uncommon this far south. This hike will start in the parking lot (at the east end of the lot near the loop) and continue in a circle around the bog and historical trail for about 2 ½ miles. After the hike, we will “mosey” on over to Mo’s Willow Pub for lunch.
Getting to Cranberry Slough: Take Rte. 83 south from Willowbrook to Archer 171 east (left) to 95th Street south (right) past Maple Lake to Country Lane Woods parking lot to the loop end where we’ll start the hike.
Mo’s Willow Pub & Grub for Lunch - 8524 Archer Ave, Willow Springs. They’re known for their pot roast sandwich and fried pickles, but other menu options are sure to satisfy as well. They also have a nice beer selection.
Please sign up on Meetup and leave a note saying if you will be there for the hike, lunch or both. We need to let the Tavern know how many parched hikers will be piling in!
Hope to see you on the trail! John O Jfosullivan56@att.net
