Club Rides

Family Club Ride Program:

While lessons have their place, and benefits, we believe riding is about self-expression and fun! What better way to achieve that than through free ride time with friends!

Our club meets at Snoqualmie Pass on Wednesday nights all winter! These are simple Community Club Rides where we just get together and ride! There is no formal training. Mostly learning and laughing with peers.

Riders will be divided into groups based on age and skill level. A parent volunteer chaperone will ride with each group. Each group’s chaperone will have a radio for communication.

We depend on parents to chaperone the groups and the shuttle! If parents do not ski or snowboard, we will make accommodations. This club is about inclusion of everyone.

High School Program:

High school students will not be required to ride with a chaperone, but will be expected to attend check in and check out, and stay with their designated group. At least one rider in each high school group will also have a radio.

I90 can be dangerous mid winter. Especially for new drivers. The ski shuttle is a great option for high school students! Seats are limited, register ASAP.

****Ages 5 and up. All riders must be able to load and unload the chairlift.****

Please note, you’ll still need a lift ticket! If you can’t afford a lift ticket, PLEASE reach out to us for help. Our club has allotted funding for just that!

**Note: Registration does not include lift tickets or rentals**

The Seller Info page provides how to register yourself and your gear. It also provides information about Gear Drop-off, Unsold Gear Pickup, and Payment for Sales.

Letter from the President

To Whom it may Concern,

In winter 2017/18, the youth Kittitas County Ski and Snowboard Club began. We believe that riding is about self-expression, family, friends, and fun! So, our vision is simple: Weekly rides with a group of positive friends who want to hit the slopes, encourage one another, and push themselves in a fun, safe environment.

Skiing is expensive though, and costs kept many of our local youth from the slopes. So, in winter 2021/22, the non-profit was officially formed in an effort to support the local youth riders through sponsorships and a ski shuttle.

2022/23 Season Accomplishments

Thanks to our donors, we raised $5,223 last season! The funds were used to purchase:

6 seasons passes & 43 individual lift tickets
2 rental seasons passes
Jerseys & Radios to be re-used each season
1 entry into the PacWest Banked Slalom!

In addition to hitting the slopes, we took a tour of the chair lift and an avalanche awareness course!

What the numbers won’t show you, is the apprehensive 10 year old who began encouraging the rest of the group to take “Just one more lap!”, the 6 year old crowned Queen of the Trees, the boy who fell 500 times and never quit, or the kids bringing Get Well gifts to the one who broke her arm.

The numbers can’t show the true impact this club has had for the children in our community.

2023/2024 Goals

This year we hope to double those numbers! With more funds, we can provide these benefits to more children! We’ll purchase more lift tickets, fill more seats on the shuttle, take field trips to other resorts, and more!

More than Just a Lift Ticket

Each year, this club brings our local children so much joy, as well as builds their confidence and physical well-being. KCSSC allows them to engage with other passionate, young riders in a positive, screen-free environment. Your contribution helps bring those benefits to children who never would have that experience otherwise.

We can’t thank you enough for your contribution. You are truly making a difference in these children’s lives.

Sincerely,

Stefani Porter

President

Kittitas County Ski and Snowboard Club

Ski Shuttle

I-90 can be a very dangerous place mid winter. Especially for new drivers. Thankfully, High Society Transportation provides us a ride to the hill every Wednesday night!

Ski Shuttle Pass- $160 per child. Ideal for highschool students!

Save your seat on the shuttle for all 8 Wednesdays, plus the Sunday Hyak Tailgate party!

Parent Ski Shuttle Pass- We have very limited seats, so all seats must be paid for to ride the shuttle. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC SHUTTLE. THIS IS FOR CLUB MEMBER PARENTS/GUARDIANS ONLY.

Fee is waived for the dedicated Parent Shuttle Chaperone. Consider volunteering for the position!!!

Donate

Support our Club, Sponsor a child!

Snow sports come with a LOT of necessities- insurance, rentals, passes, lessons, gear, you name it!

Please consider sponsoring our club, and providing a season of adventure, community, positivity, and screen free fun for the local kids!

On average, a single night lift ticket costs $25-$50 for children 17 and under. Rental seasons passes cost $125-170, and a seat on the shuttle for the season is another $130!

The typical cost to ski or snowboard is $450-700 per child! Once you see the numbers, you can really understand why it’s so difficult for families to partake in this wholesome, healthy, positive activity.

In supporting our club, you will have provided more than a ticket to the slopes. You’ve provided life changing opportunities! Thank you for your support!

P.S. We are a non-profit, so your donation is tax deductible! EIN# 87-4270778
