LSSC Skiing Lake Tahoe, March 2019

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.

It’s time to take a look at some of LSSC's upcoming trips and events. Now that summer is nearly over, we have just posted some of our Winter events. In addition, we've still got biking and social activities open and some plans for additional ones for the Fall. Take a look and get signed up!
