Welcome to the Lake Shore Ski and Sports Club! We are a ski, sports and social club serving Chicagoland for more than six decades. We plan, organize and run trips, events and other activities locally, nationally, and internationally on behalf of our membership and their friends. We are made up of adults who are committed to being active throughout our lives and love being with others who do, too. If that's you, please join us by signing up here.
