About Us
The Potomac Valley Skiers was founded in 1965 by a group of dedicated skiers. We now have about 200 members and we have a varied schedule of skiing and non-skiing events.
Meetings are held in member homes at various locations in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Meetings are usually held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM, but during the winter months there are daytime meetings on the weekends.
PVS is a member of the Blue Ridge Ski Council (BRSC), which enables our members to join other club trips listed on the BRSC trips web page. As a member club of BRSC we get the advantages of National Ski Council Federation (NSCF) membership. PVS members can use this link for NSCF member benefits.
Membership
Guests and prospective members are welcome at meetings but they need sponsorship from a current member, trip leader, or the Membership Records Chairperson. Contact the trip leader if you would like to attend a meeting before joining one of our trips or contact Membership Records Chairperson membership@pvskiers.org.
