CONWAY — In December 1935, a group of skiers gathered at what was then the Emerson Inn in Intervale, across from the New England Inn, to discuss forming a ski club, what became the Eastern Slope Ski Club. Ninety years (and many Olympians) later, the most evident aspect of the member-supported club today is the Junior Program, which teaches hundreds of local school kids how to ski in a collaborative weekly effort between the schools, local ski areas and touring centers and volunteers.
The ESSC formed the Junior Program three years after the club’s founding. Then as now, it gave kids the opportunity to learn how to ski and provided equipment they otherwise may not have be able to afford.

I learned to ski at the Cranmore the Ski School Program back in the 1950's and if my memory serves me well, back then we were dismissed from school on Wednesdays after lunch and got bussed to Mt. Cranmore for our lessons. Lots of happy days in that town and on that mountain!
