First, about the Skiing
As our name implies, we are a club of skiers (down-hill and cross-country) and boarders, offering more than 20 trips each year. Destinations range from nearby states to the west coast, Canada, and Europe.
We will celebrate the club's 75th anniversary on 12 January, 2011. Currently, we have almost 2,000 members. Our club is unique in that we have a ski and snowboard school certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America. Thus we can offer instruction for all levels of ability. Instruction is included in some of our affordable one-day ski and snowboard performance enhancement trips to local areas as well as in weekend trips to resorts in West Virginia.

We also belong to the Blue Ridge Ski Council (BRSC), a group of 22 ski clubs in the mid-Atlantic area. BRSC organizes at least two trips a year for all the participating clubs. You will meet up to several hundred participants on a single trip. For more information, check out www.skicouncil.com.
Our Club offers Sports and more for All Seasons
There's something for every taste, nonstop, year-round. If you are into tennis or sailing, golf or volleyball, hiking or biking, parties, wine-tastings, crab feasts, beach trips, restaurant outings, theater or concerts, we have events to match your interest.
Membership Meetings
Our monthly meetings usually take place on the first Tuesday of each month at the Crowne Plaza, 1960 Chain Bridge Road, McLean, VA 22102. Phone: 703-893-2100. The September and November meetings are held on Saturday nights. The September meeting always features our "Ski Fest" with information about all of our next season's ski trips to Eastern, Western and International destinations.
Volunteer Opportunities
Club trips and events are run mostly by volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to meet people while developing social and leadership skills. For more information, click on volunteering opportunities.
Staying Informed about Club Activities
We publish a bi-monthly newsletter year-round. In addition, you can receive our Ski-O-Gram, a weekly e-mail summarizing upcoming events for the next few weeks.
