With an upsurge in skiing as a recreational sport after 1950, a need arose on campus for a program to enable students to learn to ski or to improve their skiing abilities. With the opening of the Dartmouth Skiway in 1956, the “SkiRec” program was born. Preliminary lessons were taught on the golf course (shown above) before students transitioned to the Skiway.
