The historic ski hill that once was the training spot for Mikaela Shiffrin is in desperate need of operational funds. Storrs Hill, which just celebrated its centennial last winter, has started a GoFundMe campaign. The funds from this campaign, which was created by the Lebanon Outing Club, will go towards operational expenses.
The Lebanon Outing Club, which runs Storrs Hill, was founded in 1923 thanks to Erling Heistad and some local high school students. In 1925, the first ski jump was constructed at Storrs Hill, and ski jumping has remained a core tenant of the experience at the mountain.
Six years later, the first alpine trails were cut, and a lift was installed in 1935. Over the decades, the ski hill has become a pivotal learning location for skiers, snowboarders, and ski jumpers. Mikaela Shiffrin, also known as The GOAT, trained there back when she lived in New Hampshire.
If you are looking to help a local ski hill keep the lifts churning, you can do so by clicking here. If they do open this winter, I recommend making the trip there, as it’s located just off I-89, with tickets only being $15 for adults.
