| Welcome TO THE PENTAGON SKI CLUB! |
The Pentagon Ski Club is Dedicated to Skiing The PSC offers winter sports vacations to resorts around the world for skiers and snowboarders who want the fun, companionship and convenience of group travel. Our members have one thing in common: they like to ski! On any given trip you'll find PSC members waiting for the lifts to open in the morning and on the last lift up at the end of the day before the lifts close down. We typically offer about 10-12 trips each winter to the Rockies, California, Canada and Europe, typically starting in early January and ending in late March. We don't run weekend trips or trips to local resorts, but concentrate on vacation ski trips to destination resorts. Our trips typically run 6-7 days. As a group, we can bargain with travel agents to keep costs reasonable. We normally stay in quality condo or hotel properties located near the slopes with nearby shops and restaurants. Although our focus is primarily on skiing, we also offer non-skiing summer vacation trips to Europe and other destinations, whether cruises, land tours, biking excursions, or Scuba diving adventures. Destinations have included Scandinavia, Greece, the eastern Baltic, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, England, Spain, France, Scotland & Ireland, Japan and China. Our members also share another trait: They like to socialize, either on the slopes skiing together or over good food or drink. Why the Name Pentagon?The PSC is based in the Washington, DC area, but we have members from across the U.S. The club was founded in 1966 in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, located in the Pentagon—hence the name Pentagon Ski Club. Our club continues to have members that currently serve or have served in the military, plus many current or former federal civilian employees. However, the club has no official connection to the Pentagon, the military, or the U.S. government. Many members work in private industry and have never been in the military or even inside the Pentagon.Join Us!The club is open to the general public. Anyone can join! Read the Letter from the President on the About Us page and see the Join Us page. These will give you a good introduction to the club.Monthly MeetingsThe club holds monthly meetings, usually on the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of the month, not far from the Pentagon at Fort Myer, Virginia, in Patton Hall (the building formerly known as the Officers' Club). You do not have to be in the military to enter Fort Myer and attend the meetings. Upcoming meetings are listed on the Meetings page. See Directions to Meetings page for driving directions and a map, and review the item on Entry to Ft. Myer.Membership Has BenefitsClub members also enjoy the benefits of membership in the Blue Ridge Ski Council and the National Ski Council Federation. Our members may participate on ski trips that have been "sanctioned" by other BRSC member clubs without having to join the other clubs. This gives our members access to a wide range of trips to choose from. | Announcements 2026 Ski Trips This coming winter's ski trips are available for signup on our Trips Page. Several have a few spaces available but are wait-listed so we don't over-sell. Join the wait list and we'll confirm you on the trip if the space remains available. Signups were limited to dues-paying PSC members until August 1st. After that, members of other Blue Ridge Ski Council clubs have been able to sign up. Non-Skiing Our several biking, diving and touring vacation trips are available for signups as noted on our Trips Page.
New Location Spates Club Our next monthly meeting will be on Tuesday, January 13th. The evening will include a presentation on Heli-Skiing by Barb Follett of Canadian Mountain Holidays. Our usual meeting location, Patton Hall, is expected to be closed for the beginning of a multi-year renovation. Our monthly meetings are switching to Ft. Myer's Spates Community Club — the same venue where we've held many of our picnics. Click for a map showing the Spates location. We're asking everyone to register to attend (just click the link) by Monday, January 5th. Ft. Myer has said they'll confirm the venue switch in early January. If by some chance we'll still be in Patton Hall, we'll send an email blast shortly before the meeting to confirm the venue. Otherwise, we'll see you in Spates! 2025-2026 Ski Passes Information on the multi-resort Epic and Ikon season passes appears on our Epic & Ikon Pass page. However, those passes are no longer available for the coming winter:
