Colorado's Eskimo Ski Club, founded by ski industry pioneer Frank Bulkley in 1939, was one of the first ski schools in Colorado. The club was colloquially known as Eskimo's and it was among the last independent ski clubs. Over the next eight decades, the club would teach thousands of Lakewood kids how to navigate the slopes.
In August 2019, Eskimo's announced it would close just shy of its 80th birthday. Winter Park Resort needed the club's longtime headquarters for more employee locker space.
Aloha Eskimo Ski Club, thanks for the memories and the love of skiing!
