What we’re about
Thank you for stopping by!
Pine Point Ski Club is an athletic, recreational and social ski club of about 200 members. We love to stay active all year round and have a lot of fun along the way!
We schedule several Western ski trips annually as well as a number of local Midwestern getaways. Although skiing and snowboarding (yes we do have snowboarders in the club) is our main mission, we offer a year-round schedule of activities. Annual favorites include a Kettle Moraine Camping & Biking trip, White Elephant Gift Exchange Party, Memorial Day Grill & Bike, picnics and impromptu festival outings.
What makes us special? To start off, the loyalty of our members allowed us to not only survive but thrive during rough pandemic times, with safety of our members being on the forefront of everything that we do. One of our strong suites is the international member base, including member representation from all 5 continents! Our skiers and snowboarders are at all levels: racers, mogul monsters, cruisers, terrain park masters, and raw beginners. If you have never been on the snow before - we are excited to guide you through this amazing experience.
We meet every 3rd Tuesday of the month @ Green Eye Lounge (Chicago) during winter months. Come check us out and learn about this season's trips! Visit our website for more information: https://www.pinepointskiclub.com/
