Run by volunteers,
powered by aloha.
The Hawaii Ski Club is a year-round, non-profit, all-volunteer social club. No paid staff, no big overhead — just members who love snow and each other's company.
- Non-profit
- 217 members
- Est. 1952
Seventy years of turns
We started in 1952, back when skiing meant a jeep ride up Mauna Kea and a portable rope tow. The snow on the volcano comes and goes, but the itch to ski never did — so the club grew outward, organizing trips to the great resorts of the mainland, Canada, Japan, Europe, and even New Zealand for summer turns.
Today we’re over a hundred strong: families and college kids, first-timers and lifers, snowboarders and tele skiers. The club is entirely volunteer-run, which keeps costs low and the spirit high. Everyone pitches in; everyone’s welcome.
The crew that makes it happen
Every trip, potluck, and newsletter is the work of these volunteers. Say hello at the next meeting.
