SAGA LA - Gay Ski and Snowboard Club

 SAGA is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that was one of the first gay-centered sports organizations in the United States.

SAGA Ski and Snowboard Club was organized in 1975 by a transplanted group of gay skiers from Utah that missed the fun of skiing in Southern California. From the first days of the club, members included a mix of guys from LA, Orange County, and Long Beach. Over the years the club has organized 6 to 10 ski and snowboard trips each season to a variety of resorts in the western US and Europe for its 150—200 members.

For the 2010 ski season the destinations will includes Mammoth, Aspen, Tahoe, and Utah. 2010 trips can be found on the Trips page.

Our most popular trips are the Mammoth bus trips, complete with meals, cocktails and films en route and group meals in the Condos. We also offer “caravan” trips to Mammoth, where we leave the driving to you. As a non-profit organization, our ski and snowboard trips are reasonably priced and tailored to the desires and preferences of our members.

The Club holds meetings from October through May in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. The fun meetings offer an opportunity to sign up for ski and snowboard trips and socialize with other members. Meeting locations for Vertigo club meetings can be found on the Vertigo Monthly Meeting page.

 You can find the most up-to-date information here on our website (www.sagaLA.org)  about our ski and snowboard trips, camping trips, and other events during the season.

Although SAGA is primarily for skiing and boarding, we also host parties, camping trips, theater events and more. We presently have scheduled camping trips for June and September.

The club is an all volunteer effort, and run by a group of officers elected by the membership each year. The officers are President, Vice President/Secretary, Treasurer, Mammoth Trip Planning, Trip Reservations, Out of state Trip Planning, Marketing/Membership, Communications and Social/Recreation. Our non-profit status helps to keep our trip prices and membership dues affordable as well as fun.
