Club Life
LODGE LIFE
The Ski Club of New Jersey boasts a fine Lodge located in Chittenden, Vermont. Accessible via a charming country lane, and situated on several acres of prime Vermont land, the Lodge is within driving distance of Killington and Pico Mountains, and just north of Rutland, Vermont. Less than a mile away is one of Vermont’s finest cross-country ski facilities, the Mountain Top Inn.
The Lodge features a full dining room, professional kitchen, and a warm and cozy living room with a well-used fireplace. There is also a recreation room in the basement with a ping-pong table, a pool table, and a foosball game table; typically, youngsters gather there after the day’s activities.
Ski club members lovingly maintain the Lodge by attending work weekends held at various times throughout the year, necessary for the proper maintenance of the Lodge (and a requirement of membership). A visitor to the Lodge can’t help but note the careful maintenance, up-keep, and improvements proud Lodge members have made; and this visitor is treated to a photographic history of the Lodge showing the many Lodge events and trips which members have enjoyed throughout the year. In a world of fast-paced living, Lodge life is a throwback to another era when folks worked together as neighbors and friends to hold things in common in a social club for the benefit of members. Few of these club endeavors survive the transience of modern day life, and the Ski Club of New Jersey’s Lodge is one of them.
The Lodge is the site of many recreational events throughout the year, besides providing lodging for skiers, fall foliage tourists, and spring and summer golf and water-sports enthusiasts. In fact the Lodge has annual Aqua Weekends, New Year’s Eve parties, and Chili Cook-offs, all events that are well attended by the membership.
Overnight stays at the Ski Club of New Jersey Lodge require member sponsorship. Visit us at our meetings held the second and fourth Thursday of each month, October through April, at the Maywood Inn, Maywood, NJ. Check the News and Events section of this website for all special activities and meetings.

Each year a premium ski destination is scouted out and approved of by club members.

These trips are carefully put together and typically include airfare, accommodations, breakfast, and discount lift tickets, and all of this is had for an extremely economical, all-inclusive price. Because the deals are terrific, these trips typically book quickly.
