Founded in the 1960s, WSC is the only state-wide ski club in Delaware. We are a non-profit sporting and social club currently open to individuals who are 21 and older and to families.
Our primary mission is to promote and foster the sports of skiing and snowboarding. We do this mainly through our ski trips, which provide WSC members with group-discounted rates for some of the finest skiing and boarding in the world. We offer day, weekend and week-long trips led by experienced trip leaders. We even offer a Beginner’s Program that helps new members become involved in the great sport of skiing.
Although we are primarily a skiing and snowboarding club, WSC offers a lot more than this! Other activities include other Sporting activities, Happy Hours and Social activates:
· In-line skating
· Mountain biking
· Road biking
· Hiking and camping
· Tennis
· Ice skating
· Weekly Happy Hours
· “Dining Out for Singles”
To: Wilmington Ski Club
Recently I had been thinking of taking our 3 kids (14,13,10) on a skiing adventure, but wasn't sure exactly how to go about it as it had been 21 years since I had taken my last lift ride and the kids had never been! So, after talking with a friend of mine who suggested a "bus trip" from a local college or club, I Googled "Ski bus trip Delaware" and up popped The Wilmington Ski Club. I looked over the website and the day trips that were planned and found what looked like the perfect trip - Blue Mountain on January 18th geared towards beginners. I contacted the leader, Paul Domanski, who advised me how to apply for membership and sent in my check for what seemed like WAY too little money!!
As we drove up Friday morning (we live in Greenwood - about 75 minutes away) we weren't quite sure what to expect, but we were excited, and having spoken with both Paul and Harold, I felt that it would be a great experience.
Boy, was that an understatement!! All I can say is "WOW!" Deluxe transportation, breakfast on the bus, wonderful conversation with several members on the trip up just started our day! Upon arrival at Blue, Paul treated us like we were members of his family! He helped us thru the rental process (remember, I was about my kids age when I did this the last time!) and he just couldn't do enough for us!
We had a fantastic time! The kids all wanted to snowboard & I took skis. What a memorable day! (And yes - it is like riding a bike! I didn't fall once!)
Upon returning to the bus, we couldn't believe the spread Paul had laid out! Overstuffed subs with chips, drinks and all the trimmings! I kept thinking, "This whole trip for the 4 of us was under $125! How can this be???!!!"
But the best part of the day came from all 3 of my kids when I asked them how they enjoyed their first ski trip. They only had one question, "When can we do it again?!"
Thanks so much to Paul, Harold, and everyone else who helped make this such a wonderful trip. I was hoping that the kids would enjoy it - and they LOVED it! I have already passed along the club information to some friends of ours downstate and I am pretty sure that they will be signing up also. And we cant wait until February 9th to go to Sno Mountain!
Sincerely,
Bob Mitchell
