Most of this site is an archive of the Ski Mountaineers Section (SMS) website up to 2014. The SMS was founded in 1934 and was the first section in the Angeles chapter. You will find some very interesting history. Have fun exploring the archives.

To be added are trip reports and photos from recent trips.

The Nordic Ski Touring Section arranges cross-country ski trips in California ski areas on Nordic skis that allow you to ski uphill and slide across flats.

The Wilderness Travel Course has taught wilderness and backpacking skills to thousands of Southern Californians for over three decades.

They take four weekend trips into local mountains and beyond to practice skills, while build lasting friendships.
