The BBTS Ski Club dates back to the 1930’s when
a group of committed skiers hiked Mount Tecumseh
with axes and saws in hand, blazed narrow wooded
trails and skied and raced down (their black and
blue marks from a hard day of skiing reflecting
their commitment to the sport). The Waterville
Valley Black and Blue Trail Smashers Ski Club,
one of the oldest ski clubs in the country, was
organized in 1934. Waterville Valley Academy
was founded in 1972.
