    Be the Spark Behind the Holiday Party

    SWC has always been more than trips and events, it’s the people who bring them to life.

    By joining the Holiday Party Committee, you’ll help shape one of our favorite traditions and keep the spirit of the club strong.

    Together, we’ll:
    • Plan the menu 
    • Set the agenda ️ 
    • Line up entertainment 
    • Choose prizes 

    By signing up, you’re simply offering to help. Meeting times will be coordinated around the schedules of the members who volunteer to make the committee flexible and member-friendly.

    Some time, some creativity, and you’ll help create a celebration that reflects the best of who we are as SWC.

    Volunteer today and help us make it shine! 

    Contact Bill Romania for more information.

    Help SWC Shine at the ADK Fall Expo!

    The ADK Fall Expo (Nov 1–2, Albany Capital Center) is the perfect place to share who we are. Every conversation at the booth is a chance to tell our story (the trips, the friendships, the fun!) and invite others to be part of it.

    Volunteering is simple: greet visitors, hand out SWC information, and talk about the activities you enjoy most.

    Together, we can show how SWC is more than a ski club.

    It’s a community. ️

    Sign up today to be part of the event! Questions? Contact Don Streed.

    Visit the Winter Expo website for more information about the event.

    Volunteering for this event has very simple requirements . . . Be present at the booth and talk about paddling, hiking and biking!  All materials needed - business cards, flyers, booth exhibits - are already prepared for you!

    Go Stowe !


    SWC is pleased announce our plan to host the 2025 Early Season Ski Clinic (formerly known as Bomber's) at Stowe Mountain Resort.  This year we are asking you to make a commitment with a refundable deposit.  The reason for this early commitment is a recent change in lesson pricing and reservation policy by Vail Resorts, parent company of Stowe Mountain Resort.

    We are also narrowing the Clinic to Saturday and Sunday to make it more accessible to skiers with weekday work commitments. The plan is to offer full-day lessons both days for a minimum of four groups of no more than nine skiers each. Availability of snowboard lessons will depend upon sufficient demand.

    When and Where: Friday, December 12 through Sunday, December 14, 2025 Stowe, VT area

    Who?  The Clinic is sponsored by the Schenectady Wintersports Club (SWC)

    in conjunction with the Stowe Mountain Resort Ski School. Lessons will be available for skiers (and snowboarders depending upon sufficient demand), with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 9 to 1.  Our group planning may allow us to add a "Never-Ever/ Beginner" level instruction group if there is sufficient demand.

    What's the Plan? Kick off the weekend Friday Night with a Welcome Party mixer at the SWC Clubhouse in Waterbury Center.

    Where will we stay? Clinic lodging will be available at the SWC Clubhouse in Waterbury Center.  Non-members will receive a free one year membership in SWC which includes access to the SWC Clubhouse for the 2025-2026 ski season.  Lodging at the Clubhouse will be $40 per person per night. This includes the Friday party, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday as well as Saturday night dinner.  Children 17 and under stay for free in the same room with their parents.  More details on lodging and meals will be sent once we have confirmed all attendees.

    Registration:  Complete your form for the clinic through this announcement using the Register button. We are asking everyone who is interested to sign up and pay a refundable deposit.

    How Much:  Pricing for the lessons will be based on the number of participants in each lesson grouping.  Our best estimate for two full day lessons will cost approximately $445-495 per person. That is for the entire weekend, not per day!  If you have priced lessons recently,  you know what a bargain that is, especially given the quality of the instruction at Stowe Mountain Resort. Once the number of attendees is known, we will publish the exact cost of the lessons. 

    For questions, please contact Bryant George or call 475-209-5592.

    • Telluride CO


       

    PACKAGE PRICE:  $2,261

    LODGING: 7 nights at Mountain Lodge, 2 bedroom suites, 4 guests - Ski in/ ski out

    AIRFARE: United Airlines, from Albany connecting through Chicago to Montrose Regional Airport

    SKI PASSES: Not included in the packageDiscounted EPIC tickets are available if you do not have a yearly pass.  Purchase these separately online NOW while they are available.

    Telluride Ski Resort offers over 2,000 skiable acres and 4,400 feet of vertical, with terrain for all levels — from gentle groomers to expert chutes. Despite its size and variety, it rarely feels crowded because of its remote location and limited lift lines. The setting is a dramatic box canyon surrounded by 13,000- and 14,000-foot peaks. The views from the top of the mountain are some of the most stunning in North America.

    The town of Telluride is a National Historic Landmark, full of Old West charm, with no chain stores and a walkable layout. The free gondola connects it to Mountain Village, offering a unique and scenic commute. You’ll see all types of people It feels like a real community, not just a resort town.

    Thanks to its high elevation and dry Colorado air, Telluride gets over 300 inches of snow annually — and it’s often light, fluffy powder that skiers dream of. Storms stick to the San Juans and reward those who make the journey.

    Beginners can enjoy wide-open, scenic runs, while advanced skiers have access to challenging terrain like Revelation Bowl, Gold Hill, and hike-to terrain like Palmyra Peak. It’s a true playground for every level.

    ..Just people who love the mountains!

    For more information, please contact Rick or at 518-337-6188.

    (FYI - We are still seeking a new trip leader for this adventure)!!
