The Seniors Alpine Ski Club was incorporated under The Societies Act of the Province of Alberta on February 18, 1993. However, Club roots go back to 1987 when eleven enthusiastic skiers met to develop programs and activities specifically suited to 55+ skiers. The work of northern members who started organizing tours and social events in 1996 resulted in the formation of a Northern Branch in 1999.

The Club is governed by a 13 member volunteer Board of Directors. The Northern Branch Executive Committee was dissolved in May 2008.

As the Club’s membership and popularity grew, organized ski trips became annual events. Calgary and Edmonton each ran their own 2 to 4 day ski tours to our many mountain resorts. On these tours the Club is able to negotiate reduced ticket and accommodation prices for its members. Any member can participate in events organized by the Club. Please see Sports Accident Insurance Plan on the Tour Policies page.

Social activities are also an important aspect of the Club. The Club holds spring and fall dinner/dances and monthly potluck suppers during the ski season as well as a golf tournament in September.

Club members help annually with the Hull Family Services Ski Program and the Calgary Educational Partnership Foundation “Stay in School Ski Day” Program.

Each year the Club produces eight issues of its newsletter — the Ski Chatter — which strives to keep members informed of all Club activities.

In 2007 Club members approved the draft of our new bylaws at the AGM which were submitted to the Alberta Societies Registry. The Board reviewed and revised the bylaw deficiencies noted by the Alberta Societies Registry. We are now in compliance with all provisions. The revised bylaws document, with changes highlighted in red, is available as a PDF file (Bylaws PDF).
