Ski Group Travel

50 Years in the Making

For over 20 years, Midwest Skier has helped skiers and resorts find each other

The Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council (CMSC) was formed in 1957 and now has over 70 member clubs. The clubs represented offer downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing as well as various other activities year round. They are adventure clubs, singles clubs, family clubs, and clubs that welcome all comers.

CMSC offers clubs the opportunity to participate in our council sponsored ski/snowboard trips: Europe, Chicago Week and Winter Carnival, our Racing program for both skiing and snowboarding with 7 weekend races a year, Instructors Clinic where a club member can learn to teach beginners skiing or snowboarding techniques, Trip Seminar where clubs select destinations for the upcoming trips, along with various other activities.

Our publication, the Midwest Skier, and our web site keep us all up to date with events and news of the ski industry, council and clubs.  The magazine is published each spring and fall as a resource for member clubs and consumers seeking to join up with CMSC members.
