The Triple Cities Ski Club (TCSC) celebrates its 50th Anniversary season with a kickoff meeting on Thursday, Sept. 10, at 6:30 p.m. at Brothers 2 Banquet Facility, 2901 Watson Blvd., Endwell, N.Y. The club welcomes prospective members to join in the festivities of their banner year.

The 425-plus-member club is not just about skiing and boarding. Year round activities include hiking, biking, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, camping, rafting, golfing, picnicking, and lots of meet-to-eats at local restaurants.

At each meeting during the year, the club highlights various aspects of their semi-centennial including their community events (annual Ski Sale in November, Adopt-a-Highway cleanup and Warren Miller film), ski trip destinations, modeling vintage ski clothes, focusing on the myriad of relationships formed as a result of people meeting through TCSC, and culminating with a Reunion Party in May 2016.

For $10 a year, TCSC members enjoy discounted prices at area resorts and group-rated ski trips. This year the club is traveling to Les Trois Vallees, Val Thorens, Savoie, France (the largest ski resort in the world) celebrating Fifty in France! Other trips are to Steamboat, Colo., weekend Vermont trips to Sugarbush and Okemo and day trips to Windham, Hunter, and Belleayre in New York and Elk Mountain in Pennsylvania.

Ann Smith, chairperson of the 50th Anniversary committee stated, “Members of this warm and welcoming club are skiers, boarders and non-skiers. People have heard such great things about the club that they participate in the many non-skiing activities that are offered and have made life-long friends.”

Subsequent meetings are the first Thursdays of the month at Brothers 2 at 7 p.m. for pizza followed by the 7:30 p.m. meeting. (Exception: December meeting is Dec. 10 due to a conflict.)
