Revive ski club

Alright so next year I'm in charge of ski club at my HS and that's great and all but for the past couple years we have had barely any members. Every year the club would be closer to dying than the last, and usually would only consist of 2-3 regular members who carpool together. With that being said, any of you guys know what to do to revive the club? Had about 30 people the first meeting which was way before ski season, but dropped to about 6 people by the time the ski season started. I think that's one of the main problems, people forget about the club by the time ski season rolls around, and also during normal meetings we don't really have anything to do since the whole club currently revolves around carpooling and skiing together. Any ideas help, thanks.

its fucking sick yall have a ski club. you could always try to keep in touch with the people who show interest through a groupchat or smtn so it stays on their minds, or just hold the initial meeting closer to ski season instead of waiting a few months. Good luck tho!

I am also in high school and am head of a ski club. The meta for me was just to be super steezy and all the skuzz joined and me and the boys secured a 4 man. The trick is to not let any snowboarders in cause they just L and scare away the skuzz. The club has always been small, and I think a small club is the only feasible option. If it got any bigger, we would have to get a bus or something instead of just one of them sitting on my crotch on the way up.

talk around with more people who want to join the ski club and raise awareness. if your school has weekly announcements see if you can put in a word with who ever runs it and ask for a promo. Had a buddy who had the same issue for a DH MTB club and after a couple months of advocating they had enough members to go on bike trips. The school provided a teacher and bus who would drive all the members to the hill after school and even shuttle them. Ask around and talk with teachers who enjoy skiing and see if they would be willing to help out, good luck :)

biggest thing is probably to ask admin to plug it on the announcements

all of the above is good advice - meet closer to ski season, maybe have a secondary meeting to show some ski movies or edits to hype the stoke, get a social media page rockin', add it to the morning announcements

Yeah we have weekly announcements, I'll ask around about that because it would for sure help.

Yeah the problem with meeting closer to the ski season is that we have a club fair around the start of the school year, and that's where clubs get 95% of their members, so if we don't have any meetings until closer to the start of the season, everybody either forgets about the club or loses interest by then.
