Message from the President Ray Piwowarczyk
CMSC HAS
A CLUB FOR
EVERYONE
he Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council (CMSC) is an umbrella
T organization comprising 70 ski clubs that reach thousands of skiers
in the Midwest. Its mission is to promote the excitement and camaraderie
of skiing and snowboarding to everyone regardless of ability, age or
economic background.
CMSC member clubs hail from as far west as Nebraska and as far east
as Ohio. Michigan and Wisconsin are on the north, Springfield and
St. Louis on the south. The majority of CMSC clubs is concentrated in
the Chicago metropolitan area. Run by energetic volunteers generous
with their time and talent, the year-round social and ski activities of each
club are limited only by their members’ imagination.
CMSC has a ski club that will suit anyone’s lifestyle, whether a person
is married or single, a single parent or married with children, over 21
or over 70, a novice or expert skier, is physically challenged, has an
unlimited budget or is budget-minded, is active or just enjoys being
around active people.
