WVBBTS history 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 reflecting their commitment to the
sport). The BBTS Ski Club, one of the oldest
ski clubs in the country, was organized in
1934. Waterville Valley Academy was founded in
1972.
