Fifteen years ago America's 75 ski clubs counted a mere 3,500 members-a cult of shoptalking zealots ("I schussed the slope, tried a stem christie, made a sitzmark"). After the 1932 winter Olympics at Lake Placid came the avalanche: in 1940-41, some 2,000,000 U.S. skiers spent about $200,000,000 to twist ankles and chap cheeks...
