Overview
Mission
The mission and purpose of the Ski Club Hochgebirge (SCH) is to promote participation, excellence and safety in alpine and Nordic skiing and riding, and ski racing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SCH shall preserve and promote the legacy and historical artifacts of the Ski Club Hochgebirge and its current and former members.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Ski Club Hochgebirge (SCH) facility in Franconia, NH is where many of the organization's historical artifacts are maintained. SCH is one of the oldest ski clubs operating in the US since its initial formation in December 1930 and legal formation in Massachusetts in January of 1931. The club's facility received many upgrades and repairs to its well water system in fiscal 2025, with further enhancements to be conducted in fiscal 2026. There were also significant maintenance activities conducted, including repainting all areas where historical SCH artifacts are displayed.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
