Summer Club Activities

With Skiing and Snowboarding being seasonal recreational activities, one can’t help but wonder how these athletes occupy their time during the “off-season”.

The ski clubs of the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council manage to keep themselves busy by participating in a number of outdoor sports and recreational activities, all year long.
From biking to kayaking and whitewater rafting, these adrenaline junkies explore the outdoors in the most extreme ways, in order to keep them primed and ready for the next ski season to arrive. To learn more about each clubs individual activities visit Summer Activities.
