Welcome to the Lexington Ski and Snowboard Club website. Join a group of individuals who love skiing and snowboarding. Our group provides a great way to socialize with others who share the same passion for winter sports. We welcome all people to come and join us for a meeting to experience the fun discussing the trips offered to resorts in the US and overseas, as well as activities offered right here in Lexington.

Due to the amount of rain in the past 2 days, the Ky River has risen, is too shift, and added debris. We are changing location to Owsley Fork Reservoir near Berea. New time: arrive at 1:30p for kayak rental and safety briefing. Get Outside KY is the rental company that will bring the single or tandem kayaks and/or canoe. Please let me know ASAP if you plan to come so there will be enough for everyone. The weather forecast looks really good for the afternoon. Owsley Fork is a very nice lake and scenic, worth the extra driving distance. For directions, google: Owsley Fork Reservoir Boat Ramp.
Google Maps will get you to Owsley Fork Road. THEN watch for an old sign that says boat ramp and turn right there. The boat ramp will be on the left. If you get to a park on the right, you've missed the turn. You can launch from the grassy area of the park if you choose. You usually lose cell phone service in this area.
Enjoy a summer's day paddling on the water with views of the palisades on Sunday June 28. Get Outside KY provides the single and tandem kayak rentals or bring your own. A couple of canoes are available if preferred. Life vest/PFD are included. Plan to arrive at 1:30pm to pay on-site, select the kayaks, and hear the safety briefing. Waivers can be signed in advance online with this link. Get Outside Kentucky - Water Sports
