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.
