Clearwater/St. Pete Ski Club Donates $1.8K to Disabled Veterans

From the The Clearwater/St. Pete Ski Club:

The Clearwater/St. Pete ski club is proud to announce that they have recently donated $1,800 to the Bay Pines Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Team.

Every winter, disabled veterans from all over the country descend on Snowmass CO to attend the National Veterans Winter Sports Clinic- Miracles on a Mountainside in Snowmass, CO. This unique rehab clinic costs around $1,800 per person to attend. As a result, only a few lucky veterans are able to attend. We are proud to ensure that at least one of our Bay Pines veterans will have all of their costs covered. Details about the Winter Sports Clinic can be found at www.wintersportsclinic.org

The Clearwater/St. Pete Ski Club is Pinellas County’s only snow ski club and is part of the Florida Ski Council. They meet the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm September to May at Mikes Pizza Pub 13560 49St. The next monthly social meeting isSept. 13, 2016.

For 2017 we have trips planned to Beaver Creek Colorado, Crested Butte Colorado, Snowmass Colorado and an adventure trip to Costa Rica. Trips are for all levels of skiers and non skiers alike at various price ranges.

While at Beaver Creek we will be joined by 10 other ski clubs from Florida. Snowmass is scheduled to coincide with Spring Break for Pinellas and Hillsborough County Schools, as well as USF and many private schools.

This season marks the 33rd anniversary of our “Not for Profit” Clearwater/St. Pete Ski and Sports Club, commonly known as the Snowsharks.

Details about the club’s trips, our social events, and the Winter Sports Clinic can be found on our web site, www.snowshark.org or on our Facebook page.
