Friday-Sunday, November 7-9 - Kentucky Hiking and Crystal Falls Kayak

Ready for a weekend of crisp fall air, scenic trails, and one unforgettable underground experience? Join your fellow Ski Club members for a unique getaway to the beautiful hills of Kentucky!

We’ve locked in a cozy four-bedroom, four-bath cabin that’s fully loaded with everything you need to relax after a day of adventure—a six-person hot tub on the deck, a full-size pool table, and all the creature comforts of home.

Sleeping arrangements: To make the most of the space, members will need to share beds—so grab a friend or make a new one!

Trip Itinerary:

Friday
We'll carpool up in the afternoon and settle into the cabin. That evening, kick back by the fire or soak in the hot tub under the stars.

Saturday
After a light morning hike, we’ll head to The Gorge Underground for an incredible Crystal Kayak tour—paddling through LED-lit underground waterways in completely clear kayaks. It's a surreal, can't-miss experience!
Later in the day, we’ll squeeze in another scenic hike before returning to the cabin for a group potluck dinner.

Sunday
The day is open to your pace: hit another trail on the way home or enjoy a lazy morning and a scenic drive back.

Spots are limited to 8 members until October 18. After that, any remaining spots will open up to guests of confirmed members.

Cost: $250 per person – includes lodging and the Crystal Kayak tour.
RSVP on the event page and submit your payment to secure your spot.

📍 Culinary Dropout – 4020 Aspen Grove Dr., Suite 101, Franklin, TN 37067
(Located in McEwen Northside – free parking available)

Join us for our next Gastronomic Gallivant, where we swap ski boots for barstools and explore one of Franklin’s hottest dining spots: Culinary Dropout.

This isn’t your typical American bistro. Culinary Dropout is where bold flavor meets bold attitude — think elevated comfort food, handcrafted cocktails, and a vibe driven by music and creativity. Whether you're into pretzel bites with provolone fondue, 36-hour pork ribs, or just a killer Old Fashioned, this is a place that plays by its own rules — and you're invited along for the ride.

🎟️ Only 8 spots available!
Please RSVP early via the event page to lock in your seat at the table. These dinners fill up fast, and once we're full, we're full!

We are gathering at the Edwin Warner Park Picnic Shelter on November 15 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM to plan the Nashville Ski Club’s social events through April 2026. The plan is to review and update our list of desired restaurants, sports venues, and other Middle TN event locations where we have expressed interest. We’ll be brainstorming new venues and activities that our members may enjoy. Lastly, we will draft specific locations, hosts, and dates for review and approval by the board, all while enjoying a picnic in the park.

Note: In case of inclement weather we may move this back to Mimi’s house.

Please RSVP on the event calendar so we know how many people will be attending. We will also organize a list of foods to share with others and encourage BYO drinks.

LOCATION: Edwin Warner Park, 98 Vaughn Rd, Nashville, TN 37221

PARKING: Free parking is available next to the picnic area.
