Miami Ski Club
Miami may be best known for its year-round summer time weather, but Miami area residents who enjoy snow sports will want to sign up for the Miami Ski Club. The ski club goes on about six skiing adventures every year. Although most ski trips are national, there's at least one international destination every year, with previous trips in Europe, Australia, Latin America and Japan. Although the Miami Ski Club officially focuses on ski vacations, members also get together for biking, hiking, kayaking and sailing trips.

The group's members tend to be young and single. Because the club attracts a younger demographic, trips tend to incorporate quite a bit of adventure and outdoor travel. Outdoor enthusiasts can suggest hiking, kayaking or biking-centered trips.
