Intro to Snow Sports
Our Snow Sports program caters to skiers and snowboarders of all levels. We offer afternoon, evening, and weekend trips to nearby ski resorts during the winter season, providing ample opportunity for practice and enjoyment. Additionally, we have partnered with local ski resort, Pleasant Mountain, to offer our students discounted seasonal passes and ski rentals.
Alpine Skiing
We offer Alpine Varsity teams for both boys and girls. Our teams race Salomon and Giant Salomon at our local ski resort, Pleasant Mountain, which has the largest night skiing in the area. In 2019, the girls' Alpine won the Western Maine Conference Championship.
Nordic Skiing
We offer Nordic Varsity ski teams for both boys and girls. They compete in the Western Maine Conference in both Classic and Skate races. Our local trails at Stark’s Hill provide our skiers with some of the best practice trails and allow us to host many races, including the Regional Championships.
