Clearwater/St. Pete Ski CLub Kick Off Party

The Clearwater/St. Pete Ski Club known as the SnowSharks will be holding their 30th annual kickoff party on Friday August 23rd at the East Bay Country Club, 702 Country Club Dr in Largo Fl.

Starting at 6:30PM this event will showcase our club's 5 winter ski trips for the upcoming season.

With trips planned to Snowmass Colorado, Taos New Mexico, Lake Louis/Banff British Columbia, Copper Colorado and Crested Butte Colorado there will be trips for all levels of skiers at various price ranges.

While at Snowmass we will be joined by as many as 16 other ski clubs from Florida. Copper is scheduled to coincide with Spring Break for St. Petersburg College and USF and Crested Butte is scheduled to coincide with Spring Break for Pinellas County Schools.

This season marks the 30th anniversary of our "Not for Profit" ski club.

It is also the first of several planned fundraising events for the Bay Pines disabled veterans winter sports team. Funds raised will help these veterans attend the Winter Sports Clinic in Snowmass, CO in March 2014. This unique rehab clinic is held every year but due to the cost of travel only a handful of the veterans have been able to attend. 

This event is FREE to attend.

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