BroskiWhy skiers and snowboarders choose Broski
Your mountain, your day
A ski group rides when its organiser plans a trip. On Broski you pick a resort and a date and see who's free to ride it.
Matched on ability
Every rider sets a level from beginner to expert, for skiing, snowboarding or both, and every event says which levels it suits.
One-to-one or a crowd
Send a request to one rider for a day of laps, or join a meetup at your resort. Both are free.
A chat at every resort
Every resort, pass and event has a group chat, so there's always someone to ask who's heading up.
Host for free
Anyone can host a meetup: one a week on the free plan, unlimited with Broski Pro. Hosts can make events women-only.
Safety built in
Requests first, chat after. Nobody can message you until you say yes, and blocking takes one tap.
Want people to ride with, not just a club calendar? Get Broski.
Meetup is brilliant for hobbies of every kind. Broski is built for one: getting you on the chairlift with people at your level, at your mountain, on your day. That focus is why it shows every riderโs free days two weeks ahead, matches you on ability, has a chat for every resort and event, and lets anyone host a meetup for free.
Want a club with a regular calendar, or one group for skiing in winter and something else in summer? Meetup's 144 skiing groups and 60 million members are hard to beat for that, and plenty of riders use both.
Questions and answers
Is Broski a good alternative to Meetup for skiing?
Yes. Meetup is built for every hobby; Broski is built only for skiing and snowboarding. Pick a resort and a day and see who's riding then, at your level, plan two weeks ahead with every rider's free days, and join or host meetups at more than 3,500 resorts.
Can I use Broski and a Meetup ski group?
Of course. A ski club is a great way to get to know people, and Broski fills the days the club isn't riding. Broski is free, so there's nothing to lose by trying it.
Can a ski club use Broski?
Yes. When you create an event, choose Organization and add the club's name, and it shows as the organiser. If you run a club and want to do more on Broski, email partners@broski.app.

Where do the Meetup details come from?
