May We Introduce Ourselves

ssb_logo2Welcome!

The Soaring Society of Boulder (SSB) is based at Boulder Municipal Airport, Colorado. It has been in continuous operation since 1959 and is run by volunteers. We provide gliders, tows, training and a great social environment to our 170+ members and their families. Our membership ranges in experience from fresh adoptees of the sport, instructors, national champions to world championship contenders. The club was just awarded two winners trophies by the Soaring Society of America for competitions in distance and speed.

If you have questions about the club, membership, training, or getting involved, please feel free to contact the Soaring Society of Boulder’s New Member Coordinator at . We are happy to provide information about the club, help connect you with instructors, and answer any questions you may have as you explore becoming part of the Boulder soaring community! We look forward to hearing from you and helping you get started.
