Welcome. We are a ski club run for members by members. Our club motto is "Think Snow" - we do all the time! But just because we don't get snow year round doesn't mean we stop.

On season we run plenty of weekend trips to resorts in the Northeast and several week long trips out West or to Europe. Off season we don't stop- hiking, biking, happy hours, beach meet-ups and socializing are just a f …

Hey girls! I decided to start this group because I think its time there's a group out there that truly cares about quality not quantity. It isn't easy finding girls who you can relate to, talk to or whom you can have that "sisterly bond" with.  This group is for girls who know how to have a good time, easy going, drama free and at the end of the day have the intentions to build meaningful friendships and in the process have a good time and explore what the city offers.  We'll meet for dinner, dr …

While drinking a beer on the couch, simmering after a long work day, I kicked back to watch an episode of HBO's the Newsroom (it gets relevant, promise). In the episode, Jeff Daniels plays an anchor that goes on a rant, claiming that 20-something Americans are members of the worst generation ever. Hearing that statement only reminded me of the numerous times I've been on the receiving end of that same generalization by some "old schoolers" in the business world that claim our generation is "enti …

I created this group because, as your probably know, its pretty hard to find other young people interested in spirituality, meditation, etc. In Buddhist practice, the "Sangha" is one of the three jewels that are necessary for spiritual growth. A Sangha is basically a community of practitioners. Although this isn't a formal Sangha, I still wanted to create something to connect meditation practitioners and spiritual seekers, and help build a community of young people who share like-minded goals o …

Remember when it was simple? When you were in high school and would sit for hours analyzing the boys in your life? What should I saw to him? What does he mean by that? What Should I wear? – Formal? Semi formal? Causal? Once the look was set: The blue skirt or the black skirt…white top/ green top…flats, heels, boots?! How do I do my hair? Straight, wavy, curly, big curls, small curls, spiral curls? How do I read his body language? He likes the Yankees – maybe I can call my brother in the bathroom …
