We operate from the Meadow Lake Airport,

Our membership freeze has been lifted! Membership is one of the most cost-effective ways to routinely enjoy Colorado's outstanding vistas and soaring conditions!

We keep our rates low as a not-for-profit club to enable as much soaring as possible to our members, and the next generation of aviators. We use any and all funding in direct support of flying operations, aircraft maintenance and facilities.
