Columbia Ski and Adventure Club

Columbia Ski and Adventure Club is a sports club in Columbia, SC, devoted to snow sports and travel. The club welcomes skiers, snowboarders and snow riders, along with their friends and family, and anyone looking for fun on and off the snow. It has pursued that tradition since 1969. The club is an authorized club of the Crescent Ski Council, which is an authorized council of the National Ski Council Federation. The club's history reaches back to the ski clubs that formed across the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, when groups banded together to obtain group discounts on air fares and to simplify and reduce the costs of skiing in the western United States and at other destinations. Members found that cost savings were not the only benefit, and skiing each year with old and new friends became a social experience as much as a sporting one. The rise of snowboarding changed the makeup of the traditional skiing community, and at the club's apres ski events snowboarders and skiers mix freely. The club maintains a mascot, MiniMax, whose sidekick is Max Dangerfield, the club president and webmaster. The club also shares photos and video from its trips and events. The club is based on Haley Drive, about half a mile from S A Heyward Career Center and roughly a mile from Trenholm Park. Two Notch Road runs about 0.4 miles away, and Satchel Ford Road School sits about 0.9 miles from the club. With more than five decades of snow riding trips behind it, Columbia Ski and Adventure Club gives Columbia residents a long-established way to ski and snowboard alongside familiar faces each year.
