Welcome to the Penn State Ski Team! Founded in 1934 by Max Dercum, the Penn State Ski Team is a proud and storied club comprised of talented, driven students who share a passion for skiing & boarding. Our team embraces both racing and freestyle competition in skiing and snowboarding, offering a welcoming environment for everyone, from lifelong racers to those new to competitive skiing & riding. Our mission is to provide opportunities for PSU students to enhance their skills while fostering a community of like-minded individuals. Whether you’re looking to improve your technique, compete at high levels, or simply enjoy the camaraderie of fellow winter sport enthusiasts, the Penn State Ski Team is the place for you.
As a member of the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) and the Allegheny Collegiate Ski Conference (ACSC), we compete against other schools in our conference during the spring semester. Our team travels extensively, participating in competitions every weekend during the spring semester, culminating in the chance to qualify for the prestigious USCSA National Competition. We encourage all students interested in skiing and competition to join our team. The Penn State Ski Team is a fantastic way to meet new people, improve your skills, and be part of a supportive and enthusiastic community.
