The Unvarnished History of Intershack

Intershack 50th Anniversary Group Photo

In the beginning, there was no Intershack - but there were several ski houses in the Jay Peak area. Many of the house members were from Commonwealth countries-England, Australia, New Zealand, India, etc., and were also members of the Overseas Canadian Club in Montreal.

The O.C. Club had been formed early in 1968 by about ten people, of whom Mike Olsen and Jack Wilson were the prime instigators. It was modeled after the club in London where newcomers to England socialized and, similarly, the Montreal Club was a place where recent arrivals to Canada could meet their compatriots and have a good time.
