About Us


An interesting little-known fact about Austin Skiers - we are now officially 50 Years Old as of February 2020!! We are already thinking about how to celebrate 50 years of providing quality snow ski trips, other travel opportunities & social activities for our members – so stay tuned!

___________

Austin Skiers is a non-profit, all volunteer social club for people who love winter sports, travel & social activities We arrange 10 to 12 group trips each year and are able to get group discounts that are not available to individuals or families.

 Club History
The club was formed in 1970 and over the years we have accumulated a wealth of knowledge, expertise and ski industry contacts enabling us to find really good values. Our friendly members also enjoy many social activities here in Austin throughout the year, and really like having new people participate. 

 You are welcome to come to meetings and other Austin Skiers events as a guest to check us out. Come have fun with us.

"We Are Blood" - Looking for Donations

"We are Blood" is the Travis County Medical Society Blood Bank that has been around since 1951. They are looking for people to donate COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma. Please click here to download the form - it has the donor criteria and contact information.

Convalescent plasma is a treatment that utilizes plasma from individuals who have an illness and fought it off and may possess antibodies that can be used to treat the illness. The treatment has been around for more than 100 years. The plasma, rich with antibodies, has been studied in other outbreaks of respiratory infections.

So far there have been 150 donors whose plasma has been used in some 300 patients. If you've recovered from COVID-19 please consider donating your plasma - it may save a life!

 Passing of Long-Time Austin Skier

The Austin Skiers received notice on June 15 of the passing of a long-time member Tom Umlauf. Tom was a member for 28 years. Tom was considered a friend to many. A number of us have skied & traveled overseas with him over the years.

The following was the notice posted on the clubs Facebook (FB) page by Mary Umlauf – his sister-in-law. The link below will take you to our FB where you can see the posting, which includes a picture of Tom & his brother Arthur skiing in Snowmass this past February.

“We are sad to report that Tom Umlauf passed away today at 12:30 pm. He was not alone. He was with his children, Carla and Ian Umlauf as well as his brother Arthur, Mary Umlauf and Simon Umlauf. Due to the pandemic, a memorial will be scheduled at a later date at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden in Austin Texas most likely in late August.  Photo — Tom and Arthur having a great time in Snowmass Colorado with the Austin Skiers in February 2020.” Tom's obituary can be found here.

Austin Skiers Message Regarding Covid-19 Impact

As of March 18, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended people not congregate in groups of 10 or more. For this reason, Austin Skiers has suspended our Happy Hour socials and face to face gatherings until it is safe to do so. We have canceled our Happy Hours for the time being. We will move our annual Post Trip Party from March 29 to a date to be determined. The Texas Ski Council (TSC) has canceled their annual Bid Meeting originally scheduled for April 17-19 in Austin. (If you paid the registration fee it can be refunded upon request to the TSC.) And finally, our Annual Membership Meeting, scheduled for May 12, will be conducted by virtual conference allowing members to join via the Web or by phone.

Please know our Austin Skiers Board will continue to keep our club running strong and provide updates via email, Website, Facebook and Instagram. 

Until we gather again, we encourage you to follow the CDC guidelines, take care and stay well.

Sincerely,

Austin Skiers Board of Directors
