Diamond Dogs Ski Club - Founded September 2002


Who We Are


We are a group of active individuals living throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Our common bond is the love of skiing and snowboarding and the club strives to use that to bring people together to enjoy a year round agenda of adventurous and social activites. In short, we like to have fun...

Our Mission


Our goal is to maximize the amount of quality skiing and snowboarding of our club members by leveraging our numbers to offer exciting, affordable, diverse trips all over the globe. We also regularly organize and promote social events throught the NYC area to help bring fellow skiers and snowboarders together to meet, socialize, and get to know one another. We pride ourselves on creating a friendly, democratic environment where everyone's input is solicited and appreciated.

The club is a not for profit organization; we are not charging a membership fee for the club. We will add a small assessment to our trips and events to cover our own internal costs for postage, website, publicity, and any other fees. You help defer these costs by participating in the activities of the club.

Our History


The club was founded in 2002 as the "Renegades" ski club, but was quickly renamed the Diamond Dogs to honor Larry Sumaya, one of the original "Diamond Dogs" who left us on Sept 11th, 2001. We miss him!

Over the past 7 years the club had grown to 2500 members strong, all due to the dedication and selfless efforts of Andy Jorgensen. Andy has contributed countless amounts of his personal time and resources to organize, fund, and run the Diamond Dogs. As Andy moves on to the whiter pastures of Utah we owe him a great debt of gratitude for building the club into what it is today! Good luck Andy and Thank You!
