Which ski club would you recommend for a young 20-something year old?
Looking for a ski club for someone; I saw online that there were a few different clubs. The person is a relatively advanced skier but more importantly it would be nice to have other people their age to ski with regardless of skill. They are a few years out of college so ideally a ski club where there are many other people in their 20s. Thank you.
