VASC Masthead
 

The Victoria Alpine Ski Club, a registered non-profit society since 1984, is governed by a board of directors. The club is supported through annual membership dues of $50.00. The dues help fund club management and operational activities (e.g. bookkeeping services, website and social media maintenance, office supplies, annual reports).

The $50.00 annual membership fee is non-refundable, and we do not offer prorated fees for joining partway through the year. Members need to be at least 19 years of age.
