Welcome to the Lexington Ski and Snowboard Club website. Join a group of individuals who love skiing and snowboarding. Our group provides a great way to socialize with others who share the same passion for winter sports. We welcome all people to come and join us for a meeting to experience the fun discussing the trips offered to resorts in the US and overseas, as well as activities offered right here in Lexington.
Don't miss this month's newsletter with information on our upcoming year's trips, the next monthly meeting, and several new local and social activities!
The weather for 4/27 looks perfect for a hike to a waterfall! From the recent rainfall, 75 ft Anglin Falls will be spectacular with plenty of wildflowers to enjoy along the way. The trail is mostly easy and moderate near the falls; 1.6 miles total out and back. The location is 15 minutes south of Berea; GPS: Anglin Falls Trailhead, 842 Anglin Falls Rd. On the return back to Berea, we'll stop at Boone Trace/Brushy Fork Trails (just south of the Alumni Fields) with options of walking distance 1, 1.5, 2 miles or more which is mostly flat and easy. Both locations are owned and managed by Berea College Forest Outreach Center. Bring water, a sack lunch or snacks. It might be slightly muddy in a few areas. Hiking poles may be helpful close to the falls; moderate difficulty due to the rocks/boulders. There is no restroom in the area. There is very limited parking at the Anglin Falls trailhead (20 cars at most), so it's best to carpool. We'll meet and leave at 12:00 noon the Speedway Station, 5360 Athens Boonesboro Rd near I-75 for the 50-minute drive. Another carpool location can be in Richmond near the interstate, so notify Robin Jones if interested at 859-948-2934.
Our next monthly meeting will be Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at Rooster's off Nicholasville Rd!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming May 6, 2025 club meeting which will be our last one until August. We will be hosting representatives of the Love on a Leash (LOAL) pet therapy organization for an interesting program about pet therapy presented by the local chapter president. In addition, two teams (dogs and handlers) will be present for a meet and greet. Location is at Roosters at 124 Marketplace Drive - Lexington, KY (Off Man of War, just west of Nicholasville Rd.) Social time begins at 6pm and the meeting at 7pm. Watch for the newsletter for more information. Hope to see you there!
