LSSC Has Added Some New Summer Events!

                                                                    Biking in Germany 2022

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 here.

Now that we are well into 2026 and last season's ski events are completed, we have a whole slate of activities to be posted soon on this website. We have cycling, hiking and other sporting events planned and we have some social, dining, cultural and meet-up activities available as well. So come back to this site frequently to see what's been added to the lineup. Also, we have posted some of our ski events for the winter ski season. So sign-up now.

Our overnight trips now require that you be a member to participate. So, here's the link to join our club at a very modest price. Join here.

Also, if you have been a member in the past, this is the good time to renew so you can participate in our "members-only" trips. When you login, you will see a little "Renew" icon near your name at the top right of the screen. Click there to process your renewal.

New Announcement>> LSSC is a member of the Chicago Metropolitan Ski Council (CMSC). They occasionally offer activities that LSSC Members are welcome to participate in. View them on the 
CMSC Bulletin Board
