The Vernon Ski Club, established in 1935, has a long and successful history. As one of the largest alpine ski clubs in the BC Interior, Vernon Ski Club continues to offer many benefits to young people while they enjoy skiing throughout their school years. Joining the club is an opportunity to build skills and develop friendships that will last a lifetime! Confidence, self discipline and pride grow through the camaraderie, friendly competition and family oriented skiing activities that the club is known for.

Our Club thrives on the dedicated support of our members and volunteers. We are passionate about building life long skiers and we work hard to provide positive role models and a learning environment that develops really great skiing skills. We also know that involvement in healthy sporting activities has additional benefits that go beyond the ski slopes and will last a lifetime. It is our goal to help our members excel in skiing and in life by providing fun, safe, high quality ski programs.

Many graduates of the Vernon Ski Club have gone on to the Provincial and National Ski Teams. Some have followed career paths into coaching, instructing, management and other aspects of the ski industry. Others have gone on to professional careers bringing with them some of the life skills they developed while part of the Club. We are very fortunate to have some of our alumni now returning to the club as coaches and parent volunteers. They bring with them a wealth of experience and are our own ‘living proof’ of how passion for the sport can be passed from one generation to the next.

Our members are our strength, but our success is also rooted in our relationship with Silver Star Mountain Resort. The support that Silver Star Mountain provides the Vernon Ski Club is unparalleled. We are grateful for their on going contribution as well as the support we receive from our local business community. Our supporters recognize the benefits of family oriented sporting activities and continue to ‘give back’ to the club year after year. Without these contributions, we would be unable to offer some of the lowest program fees in the province. We are thankful for their continued support!

If you want your family to ski more often, ski with more confidence and have more fun on the hill, come and be part of a club that prides itself on fostering a love for the sport and developing great skiers!
