    OCTOBER 10, 2026

    Since 1932, the Schenectady Wintersports Club has thrived because members stepped up, pitched in, and made things happen. This fall, we’re keeping that spirit alive at the Maple Ridge Fall Festival on October 10 (9:00 AM–4:00 PM).


    We need friendly faces at our booth to:

    • Welcome festival-goers
    • Hand out flyers
    • Share what makes SWC special

    Shifts are short, flexible, and always paired with another member. Volunteering is easy, fun, and a great way to meet people while representing the club’s 90+ year tradition.

    Sign up today to help us keep the SWC spirit strong!

    Sign up is easy through this event form.  Questions?  Please contact Elyse Loughlin.

    It's that time of year again!  The semi-annual work weekend at SWC Clubhouse to perform maintenance and socialize!  

    This is more than just a maintenance weekend, it’s about:

    • Getting the clubhouse ready for the season 
    • Sharing meals and stories 
    • Brainstorming the next big ideas for SWC 
    • Building memories with fellow members 

    Whether you’re handy with a hammer, great at organizing, or just ready to help where needed, there’s a place for you.

    Please use this event form to sign up, and we will assign rooms based on availability.

    2026 FALL HIKES WITH MIKE

    As our evenings grow colder and the sun sets earlier, I along with many of you may begin to think again of the changing seasons. As summer wains, the excitement towards fall and winter grows! I thought I'd share a few day-hikes and activities with you so that you may join if interested. 

    EMAIL MIKE TO REGISTER!  See below.

    Sunday, October 18, 2026

    Lastly, a closer hike with great views (especially for the fall foliage) is Good Luck Lake and Cliffs in Arietta, NY. I was thinking a mid-morning start should give us plenty of time to enjoy the 3 mile round trip journey and still have time to visit one of the many apple orchards on the way back through Gloversville!

    If any of these sound interesting to you, please join me! Reach out to me via email (mchlschaefer25@gmail.com) so that we can co-ordinate the finer details of exactly when and where. Emailing is also important as to adhere to DEC guidelines on group size (usually a maximum of 15 per party).

    Otherwise, there are plenty of other great activities this fall and winter in SWC and I will see you around!

    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!

      SWC is proud to offer a truly awesome ski trip to Grindelwald, Switzerland. Grindelwald is one of those places that makes you fall in love with skiing all over again — whether it's your first season or your fiftieth.  Tucked into a valley beneath the iconic Eiger, this charming Swiss village is as welcoming as it is jaw-droppingly beautiful. And the best part? The mountain works for every kind of skier.

      The Jungfrau Ski Region connects Grindelwald to nearby Wengen and Mürren, giving you over 200 kilometers of pistes to explore across multiple days — so there's always somewhere new to point your skis. The lifts are modern, grooming is immaculate, and the mountain is easy to navigate even if it's your first time here.

      After a day on the slopes, the village wraps you up like a warm hug. Think cozy mountain restaurants, steaming bowls of soup, and that particular satisfaction that only comes from a great day's skiing. The chalets are picture-perfect, the locals are genuinely friendly, and the whole place has a relaxed, unhurried feel that's rare in a resort of this quality. Simply put — Grindelwald is the kind of ski trip people talk about for years. And once you've been, you'll understand exactly why.

      SWC Members have priority.

      Space is limited to 30 persons. 

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

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