DOPE IS KING!
The Plumas Ski Club's purpose is to promote community skiing activities through historical re-enactments of 1860's era ski racing in the Lost Sierra. Our primary mission is to raise funds, by sponsoring community events, for the continued maintenance and eventual re-opening of the Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl.
We have a volunteer board of directors and we enthusiastically welcome all volunteers and new energy to the club! This community based ski club has developed, maintained,
and operated the historic ski bowl since the 1950's.

Calling all artists of the Lost Sierra!
Calling all artists of the Lost Sierra!
The Plumas Ski Club is in need of new historic ski-based art for use on fundraising merchandise during the 2024 Longboard Revival Series Races! We ask that any and all interested artists prepare and submit an art piece by Halloween of this year (10/31/23) for consideration by the PSC Merchandise Committee.
A single art piece will then be selected for use and the selected artist will receive a $100.00 cash prize, free t-shirt displaying their art, and right and honorable recognition during the Longboard races!
Submittals should be scanned pdf copies of the original art piece submitted to PSC Board President Greg Hinds via email at greg@plumasskiclub.org.
Note, the copyright for the selected art piece will need to be fully released by the artist to the Plumas Ski Club. And if your art piece is not selected, do not worry, for you will have an opportunity to submit again next year! Our community-run volunteer organization depends on these efforts and takes great pride in continuing these long-standing traditions (since the 1860s!). Please contact Greg Hinds with any questions or for additional information.
