CMSC Member

The Chicago Friars Ski & Bike Club is a diverse group of people who love to ski, camp, bike and be active year-round. Newcomers are always welcome!

Each winter we ski midwest areas to sharpen our skills, we run multiple western ski trips where the REAL mountains are, we race and participate in great events, and we enjoy every minute of all of it! All levels of skiers are welcome in our club... none of that snooty, we-don't-want-no-stinkin'-newbie-skiers attitude allowed here!

Midwestern Ski Trips to destinations such as Brule, Marquette and Granite Peak (Skiing, Racing, and Partying Weekends)!

Western Ski Trips to resorts throughout the Rocky Mountains and Canada!

Amateur Ski Racing at Midwest areas. Thirst for the thrill of competition? Compete against other skiers for medals and bragging rights... The support from the Friar team is outstanding! (Always wanted to try racing, but thought "I've never raced before, people will laugh at me?..." Not so! From Newbie Racers doth Race Demons grow!)

But skiiing isn't everything, so don't forget that we plan another season of fun for when the weather warms up again! The Chicago Friars has one of the most extensive summer schedules of ANY ski club in the Chicago area.

Camping Trips (both tent and cabin camping) to great sites throughout Wisconsin and Indiana!

Biking Tripsboth one-day and weekend trips. We do trips from rails-to-trails paths to rolling countrysides. Our favorite Friar bike rides usually end up stopping at some kind of "watering hole" or ice-cream parlor! Gotta keep that energy level up, y'know!

bullet

Canoe/Rafting Tripsone day trips, weekend trips and white-water rafting! Find out what it feels like to get tossed into a Maytag set on SOAK/SPIN/REPEAT cycle?... Go rafting!

Social events such as "meet and eats," pub crawls, Ravinia outings, picnics, and ball games are always popular, too. Join us at a one of our sociable twice-monthly meetings and see what we're all about. You'll learn about a great ski club and make some new friends! If skiing, socializing, and summer-fun things are your faves, then joining the Friars is the right thing for you!
