Welcome to the Santa Barbara Ski and Sports Club

Thank you for your interest in our fabulous club.  We love skiers and snowboarders because they are active and energetic people who enjoy the outdoors.  We have wonderful trips where we make friends with thirty to seventy other active people.  You can read about them on this website and see photos of past trips.  We also have plenty of year round events if you are not a skier.

Our non-profit club began as a skiing club only in 1955, but has evolved to a full summer and winter sports club with a very diverse schedule of skiing, social and sporting events. In addition to our ski trips, we do a couple bike rides a month, kayaking, parties, and happy hours.  If you like active and interesting people, you will meet many of them in our club.

Meetings

Meetings take place once per month from September through April.  These are social events where we all come to see our friends and relax with a wine or beer.  Most meetings have a theme such as ski fitness demonstrations at local gyms, a ski wear fashion show, auctions where you can bid on donated services, cabaret night where the musicially talented sing their hearts out, and joke night.  All meetings are shown with time and location details on our Event Calendar.
