The Blitzschnell Ski Club
(the name translates to lightning-fast in German)
is approximately 40 years old .
For many years the club was based near Mt. Whittier, the now defunct ski
area in West Ossipee, NH. Since
selling the house about 20 years ago the club has
attracted members who either own their own houses, are day trippers, or
are members who hold dual memberships
at other clubs for lodging purposes. At times there has been
sufficient
demand that the club has rented a house on a year-by-year basis.
As you can see on the EICSL web site (www.eicsl.org),
the benefits of being a member of a club associated with EICSL are
many. Our members are fully involved
with all of the year-round aspects
of the social and ski race opportunities the league offers in addition to
our own club events.
We have a very reasonable fee
structure for skiers who would like to join the club and participate in
EICSL. We offer a general membership, which includes club and EICSL
membership or full membership which includes club, EICSL and race fees for
participation in the EICSL White Mountain Racing race program which is a
separate program for those who are interested in competitive, all
abilities, all ages, ski racing. The complete details of the
EICSL race program
can be found at www.wmrl.org. The
junior membership includes race program participation and eligibility for
all of the discounts on food, merchandise and services which are listed on
the Discounts Page of the EICSL web site.
The Blitzschnell Ski Club also welcomes
and offers a separate race membership for members of other EICSL clubs who do not have a race program. All race members
must be EICSL members through their primary club. Please use the
membership form below if you would like to join us. Feel free to
e-mail
csl@linehan-photography.com or call (978)281-3903 if you have any questions.
For those interested

Whittier page of the New England Lost Ski Areas Project. For those
who wondered what happened to their favorite little neighborhood ski hill
it's an interesting source of information.
