ASC Training Center on Donner Summit, run by Auburn Ski Club, one of the oldest ski clubs in the West, continues its innovations for Nordic skiers well into its 100th year with its night-skiing facilities.
The Club was founded in 1928. The nonprofit winter sports facility is one of the few training centers in the country to offer alpine, Nordic, biathlon and snowboard programs. Its athletes range from first-time skiers and riders to Olympic-level and U.S. Team professionals.
Night skiing | Following the installation of LED lights last season on a 1.5km loop trail, ASC is eyeing Phase 2 of its night skiing project with an additional 2km of trails to be lit in 2024. Night skiing will be offered Wednesday, Friday and Saturday until 7:30 p.m. throughout the season. Donations are being accepted for the light program at donorbox.org/ascdonate.
Museum closed | The Western SkiSport Museum founded by Auburn Ski Club remains closed this season while its collections are being archived to become part of the future SNOW Sports Museum that will be built in Olympic Valley. In the meantime, the SNOW Sports Museum has a temporary exhibit open daily in Tahoe City. | thesnowmuseum.org
