About the Ski Club of Sarasota
We offer several group ski trips per year from Sarasota or Tampa to the Rockies as well as international destinations in Europe, Canada, or Japan. Summer destinations are occasionally offered to resorts in New Zealand, Australia, and South America.
From time to time, we also offer non-ski trips such as bike and cruise in Europe as well as adventures and sight-seeing to Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.
Since the first trip in 1985, Ski Club of Sarasota has offered trips to fabulous resorts across the globe. Our members care about accommodations at upscale properties and enjoy the extensive planning that sets our trips apart from the typical.
Whether on the slopes or at apres ski or touring events, trips have activities appealing to skiers and non-skiers alike. In fact, the club has had several bike and barge trips touring European countries.
Check out all of our offerings, then send your deposit and paperwork for your favorite destination.
Your Ski Club of Sarasota trip leaders will take care of the rest, planning an awesome experience you'll never forget.

Snowmass, Colorado

Great news ~ We've added rooms so limited space is still available!
Our annual January trip to Snowmass includes going back to the Top of the Village. A choice of deluxe or premium condos is offered so sign up early to get your preference. Remember that your group discounted lift ticket allows you to ride the slopes at four different resorts: Snowmass, Aspen, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk. Lots of activities for non-skiers, too! Don't miss out, the remaining spaces will sell out quickly!
Snowmass, Colorado with the FSC
January 18-25, 2025
Join fellow Sarasota members and other Florida Ski Council clubs at the 2025 January destination ~ Snowmass! FSC activities include registration, Monday evening get together, the Florida Cup race, a mountain lunch, and Thursday evening dinner/dance. Some of our members are enjoying 2 consecutive weeks.
Val Gardena, Italy (FSC destination)
March 5 - 19, 2025
Tentative Plans Include
Pre-trip extension to Venice
Post-trip extension to Florence & Rome
​
Traveling with other Florida Ski Council clubs to the Dolomiti region of Italy inspired plans for a pre-trip extension to Venice and post-trip stay in Florence and Rome. While in Italy, we'll take an opportunity to explore a few of its treasures. Two nights in Venice will give skiers time to adjust to European time while exploring The City of Canals before arriving in Val Gardena. Skiing the vast terrain in this section of the Dolomites will be invigorating while non-skiers will be able to relax in the magnificent mountain surroundings. Board a motor coach for the scenic ride to Florence, a city of aristocratic elegance, with the richness of its monuments and art collections, and the bustle and racket of everyday life. Finally, we'll reach Rome where we can explore the historic treasures and centuries old architecture. This trip is truly an Italian Extravaganza! Join us.....

March 15-22, 2025

Argentina, South America
October 6 - 27, 2024
Don't miss out on the experience of your lifetime!
Final plans are underway for a non-ski trip certain to expand your travel experiences! Argentina is only one time zone different from the Eastern U.S. making the time transition easy to adjust for your internal clock. Departure to Buenos Aires will start the adventure with continuation to Puerto Madryn, Trelew, Punta Tombo, and Valdes Peninsula. Then it is south to Ushuaia, known as "The End of the World," where we can visit the Maritime and Presidium Museums and tour the Beagle Channel. El Calafate/Patagonia will allow exploration of the Glacier Museum and Ice Bar. A tour is expected to Perito Moreno Glacier where we can walk to see the glacier up close. Estancia Ranch will offer another highlight before heading back to Buenos Aires for a city tour and Tango Dinner Show. Other options include a trip to magnificent Iguazu Falls and post trip extension to Mendoza, known for its fine wines. Little time remaining to participate on the trip of a lifetime.
