Mountain High Snowsport Club

Description

Mountain High's roots go back to the 1970s with the formation of the "Plaza" (1975) and "Edgeset" (early 1970s) ski clubs in Portland, Oregon. In the Fall of 2000, the two clubs merged, forming the best of both worlds. The club was renamed to Mountain High in November 2003. The membership numbers over 300 active snowsport enthusiasts.

Known as a club that REALLY skis & rides, the Club features day outings to Mt. Hood, as well as ski trips throughout the Northwest, Canada and the western United States. There are also year-round social activities! It's a warm & friendly club.
