President's Message

Hello OSTC Club members! 

I can’t wait for the cooler October weather and the leaves to begin to change color. Are you up for a Sept 13-15th weekend of splashing, paddling, pedaling, and hiking at Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, FL? We have Cabin Spaces available, but you need to be signed up for the event on our website by 9/4 to guarantee your spot for this fun weekend. Register here for your Cabin space (only $98/pp for 2 Nights stay!) Orlando Ski and Travel Club - Lake Louisa Cabin Party Weekend 2024

Everyone, including your friends, are invited to attend the weekend’s activities. They can come out for the day and join the group activities as it’s a Florida State Park.

Our first Ski Trip for this upcoming season will be going to Vail Colorado, considered to be among the most Elite or perhaps “THE” Top Ski Destination in the world and we’ll be staying right there inside the walking Village at the Luxurious Tivoli Lodge! Additionally, the Village will be decorated in Beautiful Christmas Cheer for us! We only have a handful of spaces remaining now and our signup deadline for this particular trip is soon approaching – so signup now at the link below!

We will not be holding our regular monthly Social in September, as we’re all doing Lake Louisa instead. I’m personally looking forward to enjoying a wonderful weekend with many of you, just 2 weeks away!

I hope you're having THE BEST Holiday Weekend!

Steve Clark, OSTC President

JACKSON HOLE - WYOMING

March 2nd -9th, 2025

Jackson Hole, Wyoming is what the West is all about. Cowboys still saddle up their horses before dawn to tend to chores, and wild elk, bison and moose still roam the land. The town of Jackson is like a scene out of an old western movie, with wooden plank sidewalks, old-time stagecoach stops, elk antler arches adorning the town square and plenty of wild west saloons. Jackson is full of great shops, fine art galleries and a variety of restaurants and watering holes. Then there’s the skiing. Although best known for its vertical drop of over 4,000 feet, Jackson Hole is also legendary for powder runs, breathtaking views and terrain to suit everyone. There are 2,500 acres of slopes and runs, and that doesn’t include the back country. When not skiing or enjoying the town, you can snowshoe into Grand Teton National Park, snowmobile into Yellowstone National Park, swim the Granite Hot Springs, or view the incredible National Elk herd on a sleigh ride.
