The Smugglers 55+ Club is for seniors who like to ski (alpine or Nordic). Snowboard, snowshoe, and enjoy being with their peers. Non-skiers are welcome and often enjoy board games instead of skiing. Our goal is simple: get out of the four walls, break the daily routine, meet a wide variety of people and be active. The Club • Actively caters to all abilities. • Is informal, welcoming and unstructured. • Often keeps going throughout the year when the snow is gone. • Is a great way to extend your contacts into the community. • Is a great way to get acquainted with aspects of the community that one might not otherwise be exposed to.
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, we will not have formal meetings this year, but we will have many meet-ups (posted on our website for Alpine and Nordic skiing. Additionally, we have put all afternoon programs on hold for this season due to Covid-19 restrictions. Please check our website for announcements and membership information: Smuggs 55+ Club
