01 / CLUB PROFILE
About Up The Creek Ski & Recreation Club
Up The Creek is a large Denver-area nonprofit ski and recreation club run entirely by volunteers. Its winter program includes day buses to Front Range ski areas and multi-night trips within Colorado and beyond. Recent destination patterns span Aspen/Snowmass, Steamboat, Beaver Creek, Monarch, Crested Butte, and Snow Mountain Ranch, where members can mix Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, and other winter activities.
The club’s social cadence is just as important as its travel schedule. Friday happy hours rotate among Denver-area venues, while parties, karaoke, picnics, and special events continue throughout the year. Summer brings boating, camping, hiking, cycling, golf, volleyball, concerts, and regional trips. Guests may attend many public events before joining, making the organization easier to sample than a closed trip club. Participants must be at least 21.
