The 100 Club was started in January of 1990. Couples whose combined ages totaled 100 (hence the name) and singles over 50 were invited to become part of a group that would later become the 100 Club. The first year about 20 members skied together at Sunlight on Wednesdays and to this day the 100 Club meets at Sunlight every Wednesday during the ski season. The Club now also skis Snowmass regularly. On a powder day, members will be scattered from Vail to Aspen Mountain. Also in 1990 a few hikes were organized so that these new friends wouldn’t lose contact during the summer months. Today, the Club plans and coordinates more than 50 hikes each year from April through October, including three week-long overnight trips to destinations in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. People of all ages and abilities who go on our hikes can choose to hike whatever distance and pace that feels right for them. Through the years, some hikers have logged several thousand miles with the Club. Our hikes range from relatively easy ones to some very challenging fourteeners. In addition to alpine skiing and hiking, the 100 Club now has groups for nordic skiing, snowshoeing, bicycling, tennis, bridge and euchre. The Club has monthly dinners that give members an opportunity to socialize and to meet new members (click on Organization for a list of Club activities and coordinators). For a brief slideshow of some of these activities, click HERE. Our annual Club dues of $20/household include a monthly online newsletter on this website. Add $5 per person if you wish to join our hiking group. If you would like to meet some of our members, with no obligation, you’re welcome to attend one of our potluck dinners on June 18 at Veltus Park, July 17 and/or Aug 21 at Blue Lake. Look for details in our monthly newsletters. Just bring yourselves. For more information or to join, please contact Sylvia Wendrow, Membership Chair, at 970-704-1904 |
