Richmond Ski Club

About Richmond Ski Club

The Richmond Ski Club was founded in 1954, has approximately 500 members, and its enrollment is open to anyone. While founded based on a common interest in skiing and related snow sports, many of our members also enjoy 4 season activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking, and camping. Our Club offers several organized ski trips to our members to places in the Mid-Atlantic, western Rocky Mountains, Canada, Europe, and even some non-skiing trips to tropical locations that don’t receive any snow. We have regular membership meetings the first Wednesday of the month from October through March as well as monthly social/happy hour events.

About Our Ski Club

Established in 1954, the Richmond Ski Club (“RSC” or the “Club”) has been providing fun, travel and friendship to Central Virginia winter sports enthusiasts for over 70 years. In addition to snow sports, the Club offers a variety of warm weather activities, including biking, tubing, camping, and socials.

From the early meetings that shaped the vision and mission of the Club, to current monthly RSC Board meetings, the Club brings together people who enjoy winter sports in the Central Virginia area, while promoting skiing courtesy and safety.

The Richmond Ski Club remains true to its founding purposes:

Encourage participation in winter sports such as skiing and related activities
Educate and inform the membership about current developments in winter sports
Work toward the improvement of skiing safety and proficiency
Cooperate with regional, national, and international ski organizations
Organize trips to popular North American and global ski destinations, with emphasis upon good fellowship among skiers and all snow sports enthusiasts.

Over the years, the Club has organized trips to a variety of destinations in North America, South America and Europe. Many of the trips that RSC runs are suitable for all level skiers and riders; however, some trips may be more appropriate for intermediate, advanced and experts.
