Here are ski club schedules and Morale, Welfare and Recreation trips as submitted to Stars and Stripes or posted on club Web sites.
Because of the unusually warm winter in many parts of Europe, it would be wise to call the ski club or MWR to verify that the trip is still taking place as originally planned.
Prices are based on adult double occupancy; single rooms are subject to additional charge. Unless otherwise noted, all trips include bus transportation.
