You will not find a more diverse group of students. All races, ethnicities, majors, skill levels, whatever. If you're a pro or have never even been to the snow before, you will not be alone. Some of our members never even make it to the slopes. Some members are in fraternities and sororities, and others are not. Some members are freshmen, while others are doing everything they can not to graduate.

There's a reason that 1 out of 10 people on any given day wear a CPSC T-shirt around campus! Our members are proud to be in the Ski Club. Every year, we have around 1000 members!

• We are located in San Luis Obispo, CA.
• Our membership consists largely of students from Cal Poly University and Cuesta Community College.
• The club is run by an executive board, consisting of 9 members, and a group of volunteer staff.
• As the U.S. doesn't receive much snow for a large part of the year, we continually have a variety of activities and events to keep our members from utter boredom. Check out our Annual Events for more info.
• The club carries sponsorships from many local businesses and corporate sponsors who give discounts to our members all year long.
• Our annual "Big Trip" which takes place at the end of each fall quarter (1st week of winter break) has grown to become one of the largest single-school trips in the nation!
  
• We take trips to the most epic mountains in the world, including Big Sky, Whistler, and Park City!

Once upon a time, back when most of our grandparents were terrorizing small college towns of their own, the Cal Poly Ski Club was created. In 1941, this was the first club established at Cal Poly and grew to become the largest the campus would see, boasting over 1000 members.

In May 2002, the club was targeted by ASI and Cal Poly Judicial Affairs. These two bodies deemed Skiing and Snowboarding to be too much of a "high liability" for the school and their modest insurance. Since we had the largest club on campus, and the second largest college ski club in the nation, they decided to start with the big guys on their quest to rid the school of all its evil, "high liability" clubs. The Cal Poly Ski Club was kicked off campus and dissolved.

This came as a gargantuan disappointment to the hundreds of snow seeking members who no longer had their illustrious alliance. Luckily for these devastated souls; there were nine brave dedicated boys and girls, who had formerly comprised the exec. board of the now demolished Cal Poly Ski Club, who would never give up.

Thus, a new association was born. An incorporated, non-profit organization not affiliated with Cal Poly. The one, the only, the everlasting, (drum roll please) Central Pacific Ski Club. We are still one of the biggest clubs around! We still take one of the largest single-college ski trips in the nation! We still have the reputation that we have earned over the last 60+ years, and we are not going anywhere!
