WELCOME, INFO

 

 

 

Welcome to the
Hill Ski Club

We're a very informal and fun-loving bunch of people, always getting together for fun outdoor activities: skiing, biking, white water rafting, hiking, camping, and any other fun outdoor stuff you can think of.

Although we're based at Hill Air Force Base (just south of Ogden), we're open to anyone, civilian or military. In fact, many of our members have had no affiliation with the military at all!

We meet periodically at local restaurants in the Layton area for our meetings, enjoying snacks, drinks and good company as we go over our fun trips or just trade jokes and tall ski tales.

To join our club, click here. This page will help you download a printable application form. Just print it, fill it out, and mail it to us with a check for $15, and we'll send you your membership card.

Our club has joined with others in the region to form the Intermountain Ski Council. We all share a pool of expertise, trips, and people to provide more fun activities and better discounts than ever possible.

So, do the math: buy a membership for $15 ... and get $12 off of the lift ticket price each time you ski at Snowbasin.

OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:

IMPORTANT E-MAIL TIPS!

Some folks are not getting e-mail, especially those people with Hotmail. This is usually easy to fix, though. Some common solutions are:

  • Empty your mailbox. If your mailbox is full, then mail just gets bounced back. Sometimes the free services such as Yahoo mail and Hotmail don't even bounce them back: they often just vanish. Remember that since we're all plagued with spam, mailboxes fill up faster.
  • Check your filter settings. Are you blocking us? are you only allowing certain names attached to valid e-mail addresses?
  • Is your spam filter too aggressive? If it's blocking our messages then it's probably blocking other important stuff as well. "Don't toss out the baby with the bathwater!"
  • Tune up your computer. Make sure it's running ok: keep the taskbar clean, defrag regularly, clean out the temporary internet files, etc. If you don't, then your machine gets "clogged arteries and diabetes."

Remember, your system's like a car: if you keep it serviced and cleaned, it'll work a lot better. And you'll get those messages for our great "low tech" fun events!
