Dave Ross has been actively involved with the Alpine Juniors, Snowdrifters, Winterset and NorCAL Ski Shuttle programs since 1969. Certified instructors, Dave and his wife Ann have been members of the Professional Ski Instructors Association (PSIA) for more than 20 years.

They have logged countless miles skiing with club members in Europe, Canada, the U.S. and countless hours making sure all the details are in order and everyone has a good time.

Dave loves to ski with all levels of skiers and boarders. Taking people to ski and explore new areas, locales, and trails is one of his passions.

Alpine Juniors, Snowdrifters, Winterset, & NorCal Ski Shuttle are Sacramento's most popular clubs for skiers and snowboarders. Founded in 1965, we offer supervised Saturday and Sunday trips for children and teens. For adults, we offer Wednesday trips to Tahoe's top resorts and week long trips to resorts throughout the Western States, Canada, and Europe.
