Get The Word Out About EICSL  When riding on the chairlift with a stranger, ask them if know about Your Club, Eastern Inter-Club Ski League (EICSL) and Ski Clubs of NH located in the North Conway area. All ski clubs of EICSL are looking for new members. Prospective members can get information about all clubs when they fill out the “Join A Club inquiry form” on the EICSL and SkiClubsNH web site. Their inquiry will be emailed to all ski clubs.  Don’t forget to mention, the basic selling points of why our ski clubs were founded are inexpensive lodging, discount tickets, low cost ski trips and fun people to ski & board with. Also, we are skiers and riders that do fun things all year around especially during the wintertime.

Membership:  Turn around time for processing new member IDs is one week or less. Need submission form, waiver and club payment.  If I don’t have enough names to print a sheet, I can create IDs by handwriting name and club.  I can mail IDs to the new member or club membership chair, with a self addressed stamped envelope. If you have problems with your ID, please contact your club’s membership chair. Replacement costs for lost IDs are $5.00.  Carol Trahan
