The Kronenstadt Ski Club first came into existence in 1961. The name of the club “Kronenstadt” (Crown City) was adopted as the official name in 1963. The club was founded in Pasadena, California. The translation of "Pasadena" in Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indian language, has been interpreted as "Crown of the Valley" and Pasadena has been known as the Crown City. We are one of the longest established ski clubs in Southern California. Over the years, the club has traveled to many ski areas around the world, including Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand, Utah, Colorado, and Idaho. However, our mainstay is regular and frequent trips to Mammoth to enjoy one of the best mountains in the world.
