This "Outdoor and Snow Lover" MeetUp group is all about having fun in the great outdoors and finding others to do it with!

Outdoor events, usually in the sports category, will be a primary focus, with a little more emphasis on the "Snow" portion of the name. We'll also throw in a few social events for some balance. We'll search out and offer group discounts on skiing/snowboarding and other outdoor things and let people know about adventure, outdoor and ski/board/xc trips offered through other sources.

During the summer, tee times at local golf courses will be set up, as well as bike rides, hiking, canoeing, even white water rafting may appear on the calendar. I mean we do live in MN and/or WI so getting outside all year round is of the utmost importance to us.

Don’t wait until you’re sure you’re good at whatever we are planning before you get involved. You don’t have to qualify for the Olympics to participate in any of our sporting events. While some of our members are really good at some stuff there is an even larger number who aren’t, so don’t be shy. Take a look at what’s happening, find something that looks interesting, and e-mail the organizer taking the lead to find out more. The sooner you start to do things with MeetUp, the more people you meet, and the more familiar and fun it begins to feel.

Don't you think you deserve more fun in your life and more people to enjoy life with?! Come and check us out. Afterall it's FREE to sign up and in these economic times that's a real plus!
