 Frequently
Asked Questions
Q.
What is the age range of the members of the Morris County Ski Club
(MCSC)?
A. The ages of our members range from late 20’s to early
50’s with most ages in the 30’s and 40’s; however we do have members
who are younger and members who are more “seasoned” than that range.
Q. Is MCSC a family ski club?
A. MCSC
is for people who are 21 years or older.
There are several family ski clubs that are part of the New Jersey
Ski Council, but MCSC is not one of them.
Q. Are children allowed to participate in events or
trips with a member of MCSC?
Children are only allowed to participate in an
activity when the event leader specifies it on the flyer. An example of a child-friendly activity may be a baseball
game, where MCSC provides group discount tickets, but no bus is involved
for transportation.
Q. What is the percentage of men and woman who are
members of MCSC?
A. Overall
50 – 50 men & women
Q. Is the MCSC membership predominantly singles?
A. Yes, the majority of our membership is single though
there is a mix of couples as well. It
just so happens that many members have become couples from meeting at the
club, although we do have members that joined initially as a couple.
Q. Are there “cliques” that are hard to break
into in order to meet and get to know people who are members of MCSC?
A. No.
Though you may see a lot of camaraderie among our members
because we have so much fun together, we truly welcome new members and
guests. Our events and trips
are designed for anyone to be able to participate even if they are
participating on their own. An
example is with our trips. Trip
leaders pair up roommates if the roommate is not already chosen so that
all participants can benefit from the lower cost of a double room.
Q. Do you have to be a skier to join MCSC?
A. Absolutely
not! We have many
snow-boarders as well as many non-skiing/non-snow-boarding members since
we offer such a variety of trips and activities throughout the year.
Q. What types of activities and trips does MCSC
offer?
·
Skiing: week
long trips out west, Europe or Canada, partial week long trips out west,
weekend trips to NY, MA, NH, VT, and day trips to NY, PA and NJ
·
Biking: weekend
and day trips
·
Hiking locally
·
Monthly Alive After Five (AAF) get-together at a local happy
hour
·

·
Sporting events

·
Local roller-blading & ice skating
·
There are too many to mention all of them, and we are always
open to ideas.
Q. Does MCSC have a lodge near a ski area?
A. No, but as you
can see from only a partial listing of our activities and trips, we offer
much more than a lodge since we offer diversification to our members.
Q. When & where are the MCSC meetings?
A. On
the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month, except for

only. The meetings are scheduled to start at 8:00 pm.
