The Arizona Ski Council
(ASC) was formed in 1991 and
represents two active ski/activity
clubs, totaling around 500
members, serving skiers, snowboarders,
hikers, bikers, social
members and all types of adventurers.
The clubs are not limited
to activities in the United States
but all over the world. Our clubs
share reciprocity between each
other, so one only needs membership
in one of the clubs, to enjoy
the benefits of both.
The council and our clubs
typically plan activities throughout
the year, but the past year
the pace was slowed down because
of COVID-19.
However,
from the beginning of the 2021
year on we participated in many
activities, including ski trips.
Since May, the social and activity
calendar has resumed much as it
was as in pre-COVID times, with
all of the trips that had to be
postponed from 2020 now on the
calendar for the 2021-2022 season.
And yes, we have a number
of ski trips planned for the coming
season!
Clubs that participate in
ASC are the Phoenix Ski Club
and the Scottsdale Sea & Ski
Club. These clubs are not limited
to activities in the United States
but all over the world. Follow
the individual links connected to
each club.
The Phoenix Ski Club
(PSC) - is much more than just
skiing. PSC is an active adult social
club, whose focus is on going
full speed ahead with year-round
activities. PSC is always open to
new suggestions for events, activities
and adventures. They pride
themselves in offering a variety
of activities designed to appeal to
everybody. Traveling out of the
country or down the road to
bike, hike, sail or ski, this group
focuses on connecting with new
friends and experiences. PSC is
also involved in a number of
charities, such as Adopt-a-Highway,
Showbox Ministry, Sojourner
Center, Toys for Tots, the
Phoenix Rescue Mission and distributing
bottles of water for the
Salvation Army.
The Phoenix Ski Club's
newest initiative is offering
family events to engage kids in
winter activities. The hope is to
engage more parents to get their
kids involved in skiing.
Check out their activities,
trips and social gatherings, on
their website. Watch out for
2022. There are some very fun
