The Eastern Slope Ski Club was founded in 1935 in order to promote skiing in the Mount Washington Valley, and to give all children in the valley the opportunity to par- ticipate. Some children have been brought up skiing, while many others would not be able to enjoy the sport if not for this program. The ski club provides skiing, and equip- ment if needed, for all school children in grades one through six. With assistance from the area mountains and trails, ESSC offers Alpine, Nordic and Snowboard lessons. The alpine program is the largest of the three programs, and has a long history that con- tributes to its popularity. The program focuses on develop- ing the fundamental skills for skiing and a lifelong love for the sport. Students may join the program in first grade, and work their way up through the colors that indi- Lisa DuFault A young skier maneuvers the course at Cranmore Mountain. cate various milestones.

The Mountain Ear | Thursday, February 28, 2013 | Page 15 Nooks & Crannies Snowshoeing Mount Pierce on a “Presi Day” By Steve Smith

Last Friday, the Observatory forecast prom- ised a winter beauty – sunny skies, light winds and summit high temperatures around twenty. A classic “Presi day,” crying out for a tramper to go above treeline. I shelved a preliminary plan to hike wooded Mt. Waumbek, and opted instead to head for an old favorite, Mount Pierce in the southern Presidential Range; my friend Cath Goodwin would catch up to me after getting a late start. This 4,312-foot peak, formerly known as Mount Clinton, is one of the best winter hikes in the Whites. It combines a moderate climb through snow-draped conifer forest on the Crawford Path with a short stint in the alpine zone that features striking views of the higher Presidentials. It was my first winter 4,000-footer, back in 1983, and is a great “starter peak” for snowshoers who want a taste of the Presidentials without the commitment of a long Steve Smith exposed hike. A snowshoer descends off Mount Pierce in the southern Presidential Range, with Mount Eisenhower and Mount Washington looming beyond. In clear The Mt.

We soon headed up to the summit of Pierce over a mix of rock, ice and crusty snow, taking care to stay on the trail corri- dor and not trample any alpine vegetation. We hung out in the sun for an hour, gawking at the bril- liant views and handing out tidbits to an importuning trio of Gray Jays. One of them squawked with delight after receiving a particularly tasty morsel. From time to time we could see the tiny moving dots of hikers making their way up or down the massive snow- cone of Eisenhower.
