What we’re about
We are an adult San Diego-based Ski and Snowboard Club that provides group travel for skiing/snowboarding, sporting, and social events for our members. You can checkout our website for more information, or join us through Meetup.
We offer ski trips from San Diego to Mammoth Mountain,and other great ski resorts across the western US and overseas at very low cost.
Bus trips to Mammoth are Thursday – Sunday with 3 nights lodging in Mammoth Lakes. We may also do weekday trips to Big Bear.
Snowdrifter members can also attend our social events such as our monthly meetings, happy hours, wine tastings, holiday parties, hikes, sporting events, concerts and much more.
Membership is only $50 per person. You need to be a PAID MEMBER to participate on our ski-trips. But you are welcome to attend most of our other social events without membership.
