At Flatirons Ski Club, we are more than just a group of skiing enthusiasts; we are a vibrant community of individuals who share a passion for outdoor adventures and social connections. Established in 1963 by a group of Lake Eldora Ski Area instructors, our club has evolved over the years to encompass a wide range of activities beyond skiing, reflecting the diverse interests of our members.

Our members engage in various activities throughout the year, including hiking, biking, canoeing, camping, snowshoeing, and, of course, skiing. We organize both day trips and overnight excursions to destinations such as Crested Butte, Snowmass, Steamboat, Wolf Creek, and Monarch. Additionally, we rent a house in Fraser for 2-3 day trips, providing access to Winter Park for downhill skiing and nearby trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

Beyond outdoor activities, Flatirons Ski Club fosters a strong social community. We host annual events like the Membership Picnic in September and the Spring Fling in early June, offering opportunities for members and visitors to socialize and discuss upcoming programs. Our club also features a book club, game nights, and other social gatherings that strengthen the bonds among our members.

Membership is open to individuals who enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Our dues are $25 per year for individuals and $40 per year for couples, with the membership year running from October 1st through September 30th. As a not-for-profit organization operated entirely by volunteers, we encourage members to participate actively and contribute to the planning and execution of our events.

At Flatirons Ski Club, we believe in creating an inclusive environment where every member feels valued. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to organize a variety of activities that cater to different interests and skill levels, ensuring that there is something for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned skier, an avid hiker, or someone looking to engage in social activities, we invite you to join our community and experience the camaraderie and passion that define Flatirons Ski Club.
