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 …

Rides are scheduled anywhere we can find good trails within driving distance of the NoVa/MD/DC area. All skill levels are welcome as long as you come to RIDE the trails.

Let's bring together the adults around Northern Virginia, (from Winchester to Fairfax, from Leesburg to Culpeper, using Gainesville as the base center), that enjoy being active in all types of outdoor activity, and primarily SKIING. During the ski season, I hope we can get some folks out for some weekday day trips to Snowshoe or other mountains and perhaps a couple of trips going north to VT. If we grow in size, I hope we can look to trips west to CO, NV, UT... But, skiing is only roughly a 4 mo …

Good food... good company... a glass of wine... and an afternoon of skiing.  It doesn't get any better than that! This Meetup group is for gals who'd like to get away mid-week, a couple of times each month. I call it "lunchtime skiing," and it's something that friends and I have done on and off for years.

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 …
