Monday Night With Snow Friends

Your Monday night plans just got an upgrade! Join us on March 9th at Sugar Creek Brewing for our Happy Hour (5:30–6:30 PM) and Club Meeting (6:30–7:30 PM). Drop in for one, or do the full double-black-diamond combo and stay for both.

Heads Up: Grab dinner on your own before or after the meeting since Sugar Creek’s kitchen is closed.

Get the details (like how to score free parking) and RSVP here.

Cheers to St. Paddy’s Weekend

Consider this your official St. Patrick’s weekend shenanigans invite — minus the regrets. Wear green (or not) and come hang with us at Primal Brewery on Friday, March 13th, from 6:30-9:30 PM.

Beer, sliders, pizza, and non-alcoholic drinks are waiting for you — just not on the club’s tab (everyone pays their own way).

Get the details and RSVP here if you’re a planner; otherwise, simply show up with your Irish personality.

UNCC Race Team Fundraiser

UNC Charlotte’s Ski & Snowboard Club could use our help getting their collegiate athletes to USCSA Southeast races — and, with a little luck (and a lot of hustle), back to Nationals. They’ve qualified and competed at the National Championships for 6+ years, racing at mountains like Mammoth, Lake Placid, and Mount Bachelor.

Make an impact and contribute to their fundraiser today!

On the Slopes Together

From the iconic Big Sky sign to blue-bubble lift laps and a well-earned fireside warm-up, our Montana trip was unforgettable!

Aspen Snowmass showed off in the best way, with summit peaks and wide-open groomers to those “pause and stare” mountain views.

From snow-in-your-beard conditions to finish-line cheers, Sugar Mountain brought the race-day energy for Larry and Hugh.
