In 1955 a small group of enthusiasts dedicated to the sport of skiing founded the Oak Park Ski Club, which steadily grew to become one of the largest and most popular clubs in Chicagoland. The club, of course, pursues skiing, racing and snowboarding, but during the year its social committee sponsors many outdoor and indoor events. We've done excursions to Ravinia, ice cream socials in Park Ridge, and scenic bicycle tours along Chicago's lakefront and through various suburbs. We target a Bar of the Month each month. The club sponsors weekly outdoor volleyball games at suburban Catherine Woods during the summer months. We also host both the annual club picnic and the annual awards banquet. Finally, no description of activities would be complete without mention of the club's proud asset in Michigan: its own year-round lodge, located in the Boyne Mountain ski and vacation area. Members, their families and friends who use the lodge are treated to a modern, fully-equipped kitchen and accommodations for 42 guests.
