Welcome to
The Washtenaw Ski Touring Club
2007-2008 (Our 34th year)
   
Benefits
1. Local Skiing
When conditions permit local cross country ski trips to various local parks and golf courses are arranged.

2. Ski Trips
Weekend ski trips to locations in Michigan and Ontario are planned from December through March. The trips are reasonably priced and offer a variety of skiing including bushwhacking, touring, racing, and family trips. Extended trips from 3-7 days are also offered. A club favorite is the New Year's Trip to Marquette, Michigan. See The Trip Brochure and Trip Calendar.

3. Ski Instruction
The club has many excellent skiers who are always willing to teach other members the finer points of skiing. Instruction is offered informally in town and on some of the club ski trips. The WSTC membership has several USSA Level I and Level II Ski coaches and PSIA instructors. In the past years we have brought in expert ski instructors for ski clinics. 

4. Meetings
From early November through March, the ski club has regular educational/social meetings every other Tuesday. The meetings offer presentations on cross country ski techniques, equipment, safety and other ski related activities. See Meeting Dates & Topics on the home page. Refreshments at every meeting. After meetings some members get together at a local eatery.

5. Year Round Training
Call other members for hiking, running, canoeing or bicycling during the spring, summer, and fall. Roller skiing is popular during the fall months and continues until the snow flies. Call 734-662-SKIS to find out the details on these and other activities.

6. Potlucks, Social
Skiers love to eat and the WSTC tradition of eating is demonstrated during the potlucks and picnic. An annual ski prep party and potluck affords an opportunity to get those skis ready for winter and show off your culinary skills. There are refreshments at meetings and time for socializing. There are after-meeting get-togethers at a local pub.
