Sno Jets Ski and Social Club
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Welcome to The Sno Jets Web Pages
Who are the SnoJets???
The Snojets are a Ski and Social Club with a membership of around 400 active, fun-loving enthusiasts. Although the club was formed over 50 years ago as a skiing club, a large number of members today do not ski but are very active because of the vast number of social activites in addition to the traditional planned ski trips during the winter months. Look through the club calendars for the past year on the left side bar.
For a more complete understanding of the various activities of the Snojets, see this sampling of the club's social activities.
Meetings and Communication
From October to April, the SnoJets meet every Thursday at Howard's BBQ to plan ski trips and inform the membership of all the upcoming events. Howard's is located at 3350 North Chestnut, one street west of I-25 and just north of Fillmore. Happy Hour begins at 6:30 and the meetings begin at 7:30.
From May to September, there are more social activities than any one person can attend (see above). Since there are no weekly meetings, all the communication for these social activities comes through these webpages, the monthly newsletter (see the sidebar to the left), and through an email list at yahoo.com (see below).
