Where Ski & Adventure Begin

Welcome to the Texas Ski Council


The Texas Ski Council (TSC) is a non-profit, volunteer-led organization uniting 13 member clubs across Texas and Oklahoma through a shared passion for snow sports, travel, adventure, and social connection.

Through collaboration between our member clubs, TSC coordinates four exceptional ski and travel experiences annually while creating added value through club reciprocity, shared resources, and economies of scale.


One of the greatest benefits of TSC membership is reciprocity. Members in good standing with a participating club may register for trips offered by other TSC clubs — expanding access to more destinations, more departures, and more opportunities to travel with fellow adventure seekers.

Beyond the slopes, our member clubs foster year-round connections through social gatherings, hiking, cycling, pickleball, diving, cultural travel, happy hours, dining groups, and outdoor activities that support active lifestyles and lasting friendships.

TSC is also committed to growing the future of snow sports through the Texas Ski Council Youth Foundation (TSCYF), which helps introduce families and young travelers to mountain adventures and winter sports experiences.

Whether you live in Texas, Oklahoma, or beyond, we invite you to explore our clubs, discover upcoming trips, and experience the camaraderie, adventure, and lifelong friendships that define the Texas Ski Council community.
