We are fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy all that the Iola Winter Sports Club has to offer. The legacy is strong and we owe it to those who committed to its success early on to continue to commit to its sustainability. 

Some IWSC users may be interested in an annual or daily ski or bike trail pass and would prefer not to commit to the club.   


What is the difference between a trail pass and a membership?
A trail pass is your fee to use either our ski or mountain bike trails.  Membership involves a commitment to volunteer for the club, ensuring active participation in maintaining and enhancing our facilities and programs.

Membership includes:
- A voice for the future of the club
- Access to newsletters and email updates
- Voting privileges at the annual meeting
- Daily access to lighted skiing
- Daily access to Chalet
- Discounts on Merchandise (10%)
- Discounts on IWSC Hosted Events 
- Discounts on IWSC Chalet Rentals (15%)
- Access to lockers
- Access to wax bench
- One Bring a friend day

Volunteerism is the heartbeat of our organization. We believe that the dedication and generosity of our volunteers are integral to the success and vibrancy of our club. Whether you're helping maintain our trails, assisting with events, or coaching young athletes, every volunteer contributes significantly to creating memorable experiences and fostering a love for silent sports among our members. Your involvement not only enhances our programs but also strengthens the bonds within our community. We hope that you will join us in making a difference and shaping the future of silent sports at Iola. 

Additionally, your membership helps the club live up to our Mission Statement: As stewards of the land and trail systems at IWSC, we value the ability to provide high quality and challenging recreation opportunities for people of all ages and abilities in support of an active and healthy lifestyle.

Membership requires a commitment of 8 hours of volunteerism annually in any capacity that helps the club. By becoming a member you will provide the resources to make these opportunities available not only to you and your family now and into the future. Members can earn a free membership for the following year by volunteering over 40 hours over the course of a season.

I want to be a member, but cannot volunteer.  Can I still become a member to support this awesome organization?

Yes!  You can pay an annual membership fee if you cannot commit to volunteering. Thank you for your commitment to the Club. 

Can I be a member and not purchase a trail pass? 
Of course!  We appreciate all donations of time, materials and labor. If you’d like to ski or bike, please purchase the trail pass that is right for you. 

Can I purchase a trail pass and not become a member?  
Yes, but we highly encourage you to become a member.  The variety of volunteer opportunities we have to offer, there is something for everyone. 

Who manages volunteer time?  
Morgan Pease our Operations Manager manages volunteer time. We also are rolling out a digital sign up and tracking system through your member planet member portal in 2026! So stay tuned!
