Description
The Pentagon Ski Club is a social club dedicated to skiing and open to the entire public. We have about 400-500 members. 85% of them live in Virginia, Maryland, or the District of Columbia, but we also have active members in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, and Utah. We usually run 12-13 trips each year to the Rockies, California, Canada or to Europe, starting before the New Year and ending in April. We've also run summer trips, every other year, to the southern hemisphere: Chile, New Zealand and Argentina.
Our focus is 100% on skiing. Our members have one thing in common: they like to ski! On any given trip you’ll find PSC members waiting for the lifts to open in the morning and on the last lift up at the end of the day before the lifts close down. Our members also share another trait: they like to socialize, either on the slopes skiing together or over good food or drink.
The PSC doesn't run weekend trips or trips to local resorts. We concentrate on vacation ski trips to destination resorts. Our trips typically run 5-7 days. As a group, we can bargain with travel agents to keep costs reasonable. We normally stay in quality properties (condos or hotels) located near the slopes with nearby shops and restaurants.
Why the Name Pentagon? The PSC was founded in 1966 in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, located in the Pentagon--hence the name Pentagon Ski Club. The PSC continues to have members that currently serve or have served in the military, plus many federal civilian employees. However, the club has no official connection to the Pentagon, the military, or the U.S. government. Many members work in private industry and have never been in the military or even inside the Pentagon!
