Après Ski Club is the largest singles ski club in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 300 adult members. We are a year round sports and social activities nonprofit volunteer run club based out of San Jose which draws members throughout the Bay Area. Our activities and events are targeted for professional, sports-minded people who are looking to meet similar people through a quality and fun social environment. While our primary winter activity is snow sports (principally downhill and snowboarding), we promote a large number of seasonal events such as monthly meetings, tennis, hiking, biking, roller blading, wakeboarding, waterskiing, camping, sailing, kayaking, TGIF's, parties, weekends at the lodge and other social events on a year-round basis. We are proud of our year-round "home away from home" the lodge we own at Kings Beach, North Lake Tahoe which has a hot tub, wifi, is very affordable and sleeps 30. The Après' ski race team proudly won the Bay Area Snow Sports Council's Open League ski racing competition for 7 consecutive years.
