Winter Trip Guide

Miramar runs weekend downhill skiing and snowboarding trips to our lodge in Waitsfield, VT nearly every weekend from December through early April. Cross-country skiing is available when conditions permit. We also run longer trips on holiday weekends, and offer at least one week-long trip to Europe or the American West every winter. And members have been known to organize mid-summer trips to ski in Chile and Argentina. 

Most trips and events are open to both members and guests, and upcoming events are always listed on the Calendar sections of this site, and advertised in our weekly newsletter. And when the weather warms we’ve still got it going on, with dozens of club-organized spring, summer and fall trips too.
