What we’re about
Thank you for stopping by!
Pine Point Ski and Snowboard Club is an athletic, recreational and social winter sports club of about 200 members. We love to stay active all year round and have a lot of fun along the way! Visit our website for more information: https://www.pinepointskiclub.com/
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 suits 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) from October to May. Come check us out and learn about this season's trips! Visit our website for more information: https://www.pinepointskiclub.com/

MOUNTAIN STATS
With 2,440 Feet of Vertical and 300 inches of snow per year, Schweitzer has 2900 acres of skiable terrain served by 10 lifts with an uphill capacity of 15,900 passengers/hour. The longest run is Little Blue Ridge at 2.1 miles. The base elevation at the Village is 3960 feet with a summit at 6,400 ft. There are 92 runs including 2 open bowls. The terrain is classified as 20% beginner; 40% intermediate; 35% advanced and 5% expert. This resort gets high-quality snow and hardly any crowds.
