The Onondaga Ski Club Lodge

---

There is nothing like going to ski country, and having an inexpensive place to stay for the night. In the Club's early days, members had to book rooms at motels/hotels/B&B's just like everyone else when they had the desire to ski Vermont. Soon, the Club started to rent/lease places in Vermont for the season. Much better, but still not the hot setup. A few of the Club's members envisioned something even better, and during the '70s did something about it. The history of their considerable efforts are enjoyed by our membership today, and will be there for future members of the Onondaga Ski Club.

The coming of winter is just around the corner or maybe as you read this, it may have already arrived. Don't forget to make some early plans to visit the Lodge this ski season. Now is a good time to reserve any special date that you should want to go, to be sure that your choice of room accommodations will still be available.

For all our new members, don't forget your FREE nights stay at the Lodge.
