Let's Ski!
Welcome to the Half Fast Ski Club, since 1978
Skiing and Laughing, One Resort at a Time
The (Honeywell) Half Fast Ski Club was founded in 1978 by three crafty engineers and silver-tongued salesman in Vail, Colorado. After a client-group meeting, and before I-70 Interstate was built, they wound their way up Route 6 to a very different Vail than you’ll experience today. After a great time skiing, eating, laughing, and repeating for three days – they decided it should become an annual event.
Since then, limited to a maximum of 25, they have endeavored an annual trip to ski and enjoy the comradery of a like minded, powder hungry crew. Over the years traditions have been established, roles assigned, and jokes shared.
If you’re reading this and you love skiing, remember that “the slower you ski… the less gravity you use.”

Travel History
Next year is always a different ski resort than last year. True, we’ve returned to some of our favorites… but we’re glad to have had the opportunity to enjoy so many world-class mountains.

Most Recent Trip
February of 2024 the Half Fast Ski Club returned to Breckenridge, CO, staying at the Beaver Run Resort. Ski in, Ski out. Easy walk into the village for apres ski. No injuries, lots of fun as usual. We’ll post pics and video once we can.
Half Fast Traditions
Over the years the Half Fast Ski Club naturally began identifying traditions, and an initiation process for any new Members who would like to return for future years. This isn’t just about Chris’ ribs and Rob’s curry… it might be heart stopping.
What's the Vertical Chris?
Our skiers have worked to out-do one another with traditions and other aspects of our trips. Check ’em out!
