In and around the Philadelphia area there are a number of ski clubs and lots of outdoor adventure groups. The Meetup.com website is the best place to find ski clubs, outdoor groups and other active groups of people with similar interests. One of the largest and most active groups in the Philadelphia region is the King of Prussia Ski Club. The King of Prussia Ski Club has been around for well over 20 years and boasts one of the largest membership bases in the region. The club maintains a website at www.kopsc.com where you can go read the latest newsletter, stay up to date on current events and upcoming trips and download a membership form to join the club. The King of Prussia Ski Club also has a group setup on the Meetup.com website. There is a list of upcoming happthours and ski trips on the King of Prussia Meetup.com group page and you can signup to go to many events on that page.

If you want an active group of skiers to get involved with in the Philadelphia region, this is a great group to get involved with! Every Friday there is a happy hour somewhere around the King of Prussia Region. Some are at the new complex in the Plymouth Meeting Mall with Dave and Busters, P.F. Changs and other new bar and restaurant combos, while others are in Conshohocken, Jeffersonville, Collegeville, BlueBell and as far out as Lansdale, PA.

On many Fridays, there are “mental health days”. When you have enough of work and want to get away on a Friday to blow off some steam and get away from endless meetings, join some like minded people and head up to Elk Mountain, Blue Mountain Ski Area, Jack Frost Ski Area, or Camelback Ski Area all in the Poconos region.

During the winter, a number of groups in the club get ski houses for the season. If you have any interest in a ski house near Elk Mountain, or closer (to Philly) in the Poconos near places like Blue Mountain, stop by a Friday happy hour or one of the monthly meetings at the Jeffersonville Golf Course (usually on the thrid Tuesday of every month) and you’ll likely find people who are looking to add one or more people to a group that goes up once in a while or every single weekend. You can usually go in on a house for somewhere between $300 (for just a few weekends) to a little under $1,000 for a place to crash every weekend during the season.

There are a number of ski trips that go out west during the season. For the 08-09 season, there were trips scheduled to Vail, Colorado, Banff and Lake Louise in Canada, Winter Park Colorado, and a number of other top destinations around the US and Canada. Hopefully in the summer of 09′ we can get a trip going down to South America for a fairly reasonable price. Las Lenas, Bariloche or somewhere else in Argentina or Chile would be perfect so long as there is a decent snowfall down there this summer.

During the summer, there are lots of biking trips, the happy hours continue, there are a number of groups that get beach houses down at the Jersey shore and many other activities.

When you are looking for a great group of people to get out and get active with, head on over to the King of Prussia Ski Club Website or the Meetup.com page for the King of Prussia Ski Club, check out the latest events and head over to one!
