Belmont Shore's premiere recreational and social club !
Welcome
to Auslich Ski & Recreation Club of Belmont Shore - an active,
award-winning social/ recreation club based in Long Beach, California, for over
forty years. We offer year-round fun -- sports, social and recreational
activities for our members and guests. During the winter we snow ski and
enjoy a variety of social events. In the summer we water ski, golf,
kayak,
backpack, bike ride, roller blade, go camping, and much more. In
Auslich, there is always an activity for everyone's interests!
Auslich Ski Club was created in
1967, when
a group of Long Beach skiers, tired of
the long, lonely drives to Mammoth Mountain and the difficulty of finding affordable
lodging once they got there, decided to form a ski club. We now have approximately
150 members of all ages, interests and skiing abilities (even a fair number of
snowboard enthusiasts and non-skiers!)
See our Links
page for other interesting organizations and websites, such as
Far West Ski Association and L.A. Council, as well as ski areas and weather sites.
FAQ: What does "Auslich" mean?
Answer: It doesn't really mean anything. According to "lore",
the name was selected shortly after the club was formed
when one of the members placed a finger on a spinning world
globe. The globe stopped spinning with the finger on the border
of Austria and Lichtenstein. You will hear various pronunciations
of the name, but according to linguistic "experts" it should be
pronounced AOW-SHLICK.Most of us pronounce it AWSS-LITCH (but what do we know?)
Thanks for asking!
