Springfield Ski & Travel Club  
Founded in 1971 as a club dedicated to downhill skiing, we have changed through the years. While some of our members are still skiers/snowboarders, many of our members participate in day trips as well as tour trips to far off places around the world. We also offer an abundance of social events like monthly Happy Hours and Dining Out, professional sporting events, theatre performances, and brewery/wintery tours, just to name a few.

As we began traveling more, in 2018, the Club decided to change our name to the Springfield Ski and Travel Club. Today we are almost 500 members strong, making us one of the largest ski clubs in central Illinois. We offer year-round activities and social events that keep our members active and entertained.

We offer a multitude of opportunities to travel and socialize including a mid-winter trip to sunny locations as well as international trips, usually twice a year, during "shoulder" season for better pricing. We also offer sports opportunities such as pickleball, bowling, and hiking. Our day trips have included professional sporting events, brewery/winery tours, theatre performances and historic sites.

Year-round we host monthly Happy Hours, Dining Out, Halloween & Christmas parties and two "sign-up" parties. At almost every event there is information present about upcoming international trips, ski trips, day trips and sporting events. Our newsletter "The Snowjourner" is published monthly and is packed with information on what our Club has to offer, and information on trips members have the opportunity to go on.

As a member of S.K.I. Kouncil (SKI) and Chicago Metropolitan Ski Club (CMSC), with reciprocal membership, we are also able to offer our skiing members more affordable ski trips across the United States and Canada because we can take advantage of group rates. Each trip has a dedicated trip leader, and housing, transportation are included; occasionally lift tickets are included as well.

At the Springfield Ski and Travel Club we always have something gong on!
