One of the oldest ski clubs in the West, the Auburn Ski Club, founded in 1928, serves a diverse array of skiers from the ASC Training Center located on Donner Summit. The nonprofit winter sports facility is one of the few training centers in the country to offer alpine, Nordic, biathlon and snowboard programs in one facility. Its athletes range from first-time skiers and riders to Olympic-level and U.S. Team professionals.
The Nordic center is open for the season and its alpine and snowboard teams train at neighboring Boreal Mountain Resort.
Night skiing | After a successful trial last season for cross-country night skiing, ASC will debut the permanent night-skiing facilities on Dec. 14 this year. Skiers will be able to enjoy the trails until 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Fridays, with additional night sessions Wednesday to Saturday from Dec. 21 to Jan 4.
Some temporary lights will be used this winter until the permanent lights are fully installed, which should be completed by the end of the season. The New Year’s Eve Freestyle is a fundraiser for the lighting project. | asctrainingcenter.org
