The annual membership & maintenance fee for my club is $90. In the long run it comes out cheaper because our club owns a lodge which is centrally located in VT. Only 20 minutes to Killington/Pico, 40 minutes to Okemo, 1 hour north & you're at Sugarbush/ Mad River, 1 hour south & you're at Stratton/Bromley/Magic, Stowe is about 1 hour 40 minutes. Why I say it's cheaper in the long run is because lodging is only $24 a night for members including breakfast & it's a beautiful house. After just a few nights stay you save more in lodging costs as opposed to what a motel room costs. The best part is when I go during the week I usually either have the house to myself or with only a few other people. The house comfortably sleeps 48.

edit: Also over the years I've made a lot of skiing buddies through the club. It's nicer to be staying with friends than to be locked into a motel room by yourself. Also get to ski with a lot of people who have the same skiing ability as me.

I find that ski houses of this nature have too many personalities for my liking. I like to be able to get away with out having to deal with 47 other people living in the same space.

Weekends can be hectic but it's also usually a lot of fun. I'm fortunate now that I do 95% of my skiing during the week & like I said usually either have the house to myself or with only a handful of others. I've belonged to the club since I was a kid (over 40 years, my parents are members) & know most everyone in the club. I consider most of them friends. Works for me but I guess it's not for everyone. I consider the house my home away from home & can use it anytime year round. Actually summer rates are even cheaper.
