Just three years after the Ski Club's founding, on January 5 and 6, 1904, the club held its first general ski race. At that time, nothing like it had ever been seen in the Alps. The route for this long-distance race was precisely planned and led from the Ulmer Hütte over the Schindlerferner glacier to the Arlensattel, then to the Galzig, from there down to St. Christoph am Arlberg, and finally on to St. Anton am Arlberg. Today, it's hard to imagine the outstanding performance demanded of the participants back then. Using the heaviest sports equipment, the competitors plowed through the deep snow – at the beginning of the 20th century, no one had even thought of cable cars, lifts, or groomed slopes. More than 100 years later, the Arlberg Ski Club is one of the largest in Europe and probably also one of the most traditional in the world.

Much has changed over the more than 100 years since the Ski Club Arlberg was founded. The club's logo and emblem, designed by medical student Fritz Gerstel 100 years ago, remain unchanged: a circle with two crossed skis and a ski pole, indicating the single-pole technique.

The club has not only produced numerous top athletes, but has also set milestones for alpine skiing over the course of its long history. The SCA was a co-founder of the Tyrolean, German, and Austrian Ski Associations. In 1928, the SCA organized the first Arlberg-Kandahar Race, which is still held today as a World Cup race in other Alpine resorts besides St. Anton am Arlberg. Last but not least, Hannes Schneider, born in Stuben, set new standards with the "invention" of the Arlberg technique and the founding of the first ski school. The Arlberg technique, also known as the stem turn, is considered a precursor to the parallel turn.
