  Although the early bird discount for IKON passes, you can still get a discount off of regular IKON prices by ordering through our tour operator!!!

   

  Our tour operator for our Grindelwald trip, Encompasse Tours, is offering 2025-2026 IKON Passes for a significant discount.  Whether you are renewing your current pass or buying one for the first time, this is the best price you're going to get, but you have to act quickly.  This early bird discount will end shortly.  This price beats the direct IKON purchase by $100.

  SET SAIL WITH SWISS SKI CLUB

  July 20th

  from 10:30 am – 5:00 pm (approximate end time)

  We are very fortunate to have a friend of the club who welcomes us on his sail boat “Harm’s Way.” 

  We’ll meet at the Raritan Yacht Club (160 Water Street, Perth Amboy, New Jersey -   GPS ADDRESS IS 185 Front Street, Perth Amboy,) at 10:30AM.  When you arrive at the front of the Club, drive around to the back to the boatyard at the south end of Front Street. Wait for the whole group before heading out to the boat! 

  To Join the "Crew", Click Here
  

  How to get there: There is free parking for all drivers. You can also take, NJ Transit from NY Penn Station to Perth Amboy.

  What to wear: Dress for the forecast weather! A light jacket, soft soled shoes, preferably with light colored soles (black soles may leave scuff marks).  Bring a hat, preferably one with a chin strap. 

  What should you bring? There will be bottled water on board, but pack a sandwich and any snacks, chips/pretzels for yourself and mark the bag with your name.  Bring soda or beer (or wine) for yourself in metal/plastic cans/containers. Any bags should have a zipper closer to keep contents from spilling out. Don’t forget sun screen & sunglasses!

  What NOT to bring? Your favorite hat – it might blow off in the wind! Dark soled shoes, thong or high heeled shoes (also, no bare feet please). Your own cooler – ok to bring, but plan to leave it in your car/at the dock – there will be a cooler and ice for everyone’s things on board. Also, no glass containers. There are life jackets on board, so you do not have to bring one. 

  Jim will need some help operating the boat.  Let him know if you want to help or learn how to sail.  Otherwise you can just lay back and soak up the sun! Members and    Friends and Newcomers welcome!

  Please email events@swissskiclub.org with any questions.This trip is limited to 8 people only. So please do not sign up until you are 100% sure that  you can join.  Your registration is not confirmed until it's approved by the organizer.

  ABOUT SCHWEITZER

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Schweitzer (means "Swiss Person" in German) Mountain is considered one of the best ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest. Nestled in a basin at the base of the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains overlooking Lake Pend Oreille, Schweitzer Mountain offers 2,900 acres of lift accessible in-bound terrain and is renowned for its tree skiing. 

  Besides its many trails, Schweitzer also offers 32 kilometers (nearly 20 miles) of Nordic trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snow biking.

  THE TERRAIN

  The Base Elevation for the main village is 4,700 feet and 3,960 feet for the lowest chair. Top elevation is 6,400 feet with 2,400 feet vertical.

  With 300” of annual snowfall, Schweitzer's two bowls offer up a wintry mountain playground worth exploring. If you ask a local where they love to ski, you may not find the name on the trail map. While there are 92 named trails on the mountain, some of the best powder stashes can be found in hidden zones amongst the trees or past a certain feature.

  The longest run is 2.1 miles (Little Blue Ridge). The best part about skiing at Schweitzer is that there is a groomed intermediate trail off every lift, meaning groups with a variety of ability levels can choose their own adventure and meet back for another lap.

  Schweitzer also has an open gate policy for access to out-of-bound terrain that spans over 200 additional miles of the Selkirk Mountains.

  THE VIEWS

  Schweitzer's views are some of the best in the area. Overlooking Idaho's largest lake, skiing and riding down Schweitzer Bowl offers the ultimate backdrop of Lake Pend Oreille. Looking for the best selfie spot? On a clear day, ride any of the frontside lifts and you have got it. If you head to the summit via the Lakeview Triple or Great Escape, soak in 360-degree views of neighboring mountain ranges in Montana, Washington, and Canada.

  THE VILLAGE

  Schweitzer's cozy ski-in, ski-out village has everything you need to round out your vacation. With 15 dining options, you are sure to find something to satisfy any palate. Ready to relax or recharge? Head to Cambium Spa for treatment that keeps you fresh for another day on the slopes.
