HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH:

The Rocky Mountain Seniors Ski Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting alpine skiing for seniors (aged 55+) at all ability levels. The Edmonton Group was formed in 1995 as a branch of the Seniors Alpine Ski Club (SASC), which is based out of Calgary. The first Edmonton organized ski trip occurred in 1996 and by the end of the 1997/1998 season the Edmonton Group consisted of 151 members.

In the 1999/2000 season, the SASC Northern Branch was officially created and held their first AGM. Cooperation continued between the groups but the Northern Group controlled their own affairs as much as possible. The interests of the Northern Branch became increasingly divergent from those of the parent Club, and administrative difficulties became pressing. Accordingly, members of this Branch were encouraged to form a separate club (Rocky Mountain Seniors Ski Club) in 2008, and the Branch was dissolved.

Based in Edmonton, the Rocky Mountain Seniors Ski Club was incorporated in April 2008. Besides regular skiing at their home hill in Edmonton, Snow Valley, the club organizes 6 to 8 mid-week tours to various mountain ski resorts in Alberta and B.C. Off-season activities include biking, golf, and a pre-ski season conditioning program.

The Rocky Mountain Seniors Ski Club has an 11 member Executive which includes a Club President, Past President, Vice President, Special Activities executive, Membership Information executive, Public Relations executive, Secretary, Social Events executive, Tour Coordinators, Treasurer, and Webmaster.
