Thank you for your interest in joining DC Snowriders. We’re a group of skiers, snowboarders and outdoor enthusiasts in our 20's and 30's that love hitting the slopes (but don't let age deter you!). Let's face it, the reason you've stumbled across this page is because you love (or might be interested in) strapping 1 or 2 pieces of wood, fiberglass, and metal to your feet as you go screaming down the mountain - just to ride a rickety ol', freezing cold chair to the top to start over! We encourage …

Every time I take off, I get an almost overwhelming sense of freedom. It's as if I could go anywhere, and not have to worry about traffic or whether or not a road has been built over a body of water. Then to see things from that perspective - sometimes awe-inspiring scenes of autumn, or a river as the light hits it just so, or the wakes of boats, almost like swans, or the mountains fading into the mist in the distance. Ask any pilot why they fly, but be ready to be there awhile, because we never …
