Welcome to
LA Ski Council
The FWSA 2024-25 Skier’s Guide is here! See the links below on this face page to go direct to the Skier’s Guide. Download it to your tablet or Ipad and take it with you - plane, boat, lunch. Lots to read with 116 pages. (And LAC got 3 pages this year - makes us golden!)
Winter is here! Most of the best mountains have snow, so it is time to go skiing.
Los Angeles Council (LAC) is headed to Banff, BC at end of January, 2025, to ski at SKIBIG3 that they mean it up there. See the flyer under Trips.
Convention 2025 will be in Palm Springs, June 12-15, at the now Riveria Hotel (formerly Margaritaville). Again silent auction - with some great trips, great speakers, fun events, with more info to come.

We hope you will join us.
Ski trips
Our clubs 2024-25 ski trips - bus and drive up - to Mammoth and other great venues are posted under Trips. Take a look, there are already lots of them and the week-long trips are listed too. Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort has more snow than it knows what to do with so go skiing while it is a legendary year to snow in the Sierras.
Convention
Convention 2025: Palm Springs, CA so I expect a lot of LAC clubs in attendance. June 12-15 at the Riveria Hotel (formerly Margaritaville). Silent Auction, Pub Crawl in downtown; Sports Leadership Academy and the Saturday Dinner Dance.
