Racing is greatly encouraged since DSSC and our league roots come from racing. Even if you haven’t raced before, you can start with us! You can also join for the skiing and snowboarding, and help cheer on the racers!
This is how it works to join a ski trip.
The Delta Ski & Snowboard Club (DSSC) is open to current and retired employees of Delta Air Lines, Northwest, and DPS. Throughout the winter season, we host ski weeks filled with skiing, snowboarding, racing, après, and unforgettable memories with fellow airline employees from around the world.
Our trips are organized through two airline ski federations:
The North American Airlines Ski Federation (NAASF) coordinates our domestic ski weeks and mountain discounts.
The International Airlines Ski Federation (IASF) hosts the annual World Airline Ski Championships (WASC)
Never skied or snowboarded before? No problem. Many members join just to enjoy the mountains, travel, and social atmosphere. Want to learn? We offer discounted lessons during ski weeks, and DSSC also hosts an annual ski camp for all skill levels - including complete beginners.
See you on the mountain!
Who can join?
Active and retired Delta, DPS and Northwest employees.
