Here are some testimonials from members about their membership experience:
Having been a member of Nisei Ski Club for over 25 years, I’ve served on the board as membership chair and other positions, and enjoyed volunteering and organizing events. Because of this club, I’ve been able to participate in river rafting, kayaking, deep sea fishing, hiking, horse racing, ballroom dancing, learning to play bocce ball, in addition to skiing.

I first skied with Nisei Ski Club around 1974, when I took a trip to Aspen with the group. After that trip, I “unjoined” for 25 years while I raised three children who were on the Squaw Valley Freestyle team. I have been with Nisei for the past 20 years, serving as Trip Director and Board member at various times. I’ve also led some bike trips, recently across the Bay Bridge to Treasure Island. On May 19, I will be teaching dance lessons at the post season social. Please come and join me.
Sandy Kiyomura
I joined NSC in order to go on a ski trip with my friend Sandy to Aspen. That was three years ago, and I’ve been on trips to Vail and Big Sky since then. I hope to go on many more with NSC, in addition to the trips offered by Far West and Bay Area Association Ski Clubs. I find the members warm and welcoming, besides being tons of fun to ski with.
