Our journey began in 1963, when a group of enthusiastic instructors from Lake Eldora Ski Area founded what was then known as the Lake Eldora Ski Club. Their vision was to bring more people into the world of skiing through vibrant social gatherings and exciting parties. Fast forward to February 1971, the membership decided to embrace a broader horizon and renamed the club to Flatirons Ski Club. This change reflected our expansion into diverse interests and signaled our intent to transcend beyond any single local ski area.

We are a dedicated not-for-profit organization, designed to provide our members with delightful opportunities to revel in skiing and a variety of other recreational and social pursuits. Our mission is to foster good sportsmanship and camaraderie through these activities. Driven entirely by passionate volunteers, we publish a monthly newsletter brimming with details about upcoming events.

The Flatirons Ski Club in Boulder, Colorado, offers a plethora of events that cater to skiing enthusiasts and those who love outdoor activities. The club, is run entirely by volunteers, Over the years, it has evolved to include a variety of activities beyond skiing, promoting good sportsmanship and camaraderie among its members. The club hosts a range of weekly and monthly events. During the winter, members can join downhill and cross-country skiing trips, as well as snowshoeing excursions.

Popular destinations for these trips include Crested Butte, Snowmass, Steamboat, Wolf Creek, and Monarch. For cross-country skiing, Snow Mountain Ranch and Devil’s Thumb Ranch are favored spots. In the warmer months, the club organizes hiking and wildflower rambles. Tuesday evening hikes are followed by potluck dinners, creating a perfect blend of exercise and socializing. There are also Thursday hikes that vary in difficulty and distance, accommodating different skill levels.

Social events are a cornerstone of the club’s activities. These include monthly game nights, book club meetings, and Friday social gatherings at local venues like Rincon del Sol. The club also organizes annual events such as a Membership party in September and a Spring Fling in June, which are excellent opportunities for members to mingle and plan for upcoming activities. Additionally, the club arranges unique outings like canoe trips, weekend excursions to places like Moab and Rocky Mountain National Park, and cultural events such as visits to the Shakespeare Festival.
