About the Swedish Ski Club

The Swedish Ski Club has some 200 members throughout the Northeast, who all share enthusiasm for winter sports and Scandinavian culture. The club organizes and participates in ski competitions in New England, and is represented in Vasaloppet in Sweden.

In Bondville, Vermont, about four hours drive from New York City, the Swedish Ski Club has a lodge big enough to accommodate almost 40 people. The lodge is about 15 minutes from Stratton, Bromley & Magic Mountains. Killington is 50 minutes away. Okemo and Mount Snow are also a short drive away.

The lodge has a sauna, living rooms, kitchen and dining area, and space to prepare skis for cross country as well as downhill. In the summer visitors can enjoy our pool after enjoying a day golfing, horeseback riding, shopping in nearby Manchester, or enjoying Bromley's alpine slide.
