Taking inspiration from their slogan “Humans were never meant to hibernate,” a consortium of national ski industry organizations and media outlets are celebrating January as “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month.”
Locally, New Hampshire will celebrate with “Learn to Ski & Snowboard Free Week” January 11-17. Participating ski areas will be offering a limited number of free beginner ski or snowboard packages, including a free beginner lesson, free equipment rentals, and a free beginner lift ticket or trail pass to those who register in advance.
Interested participants can visit www.SkiNH.com to register and download a coupon, then contact one of the participating areas to make a reservation for a specific day that week.
Participating alpine areas include Loon Mountain, Bretton Woods, Cannon Mountain, Waterville Valley, Gunstock Mountain Resort, Cranmore Mountain Resort, Pats Peak, King Pine, Dartmouth Skiway and Granite Gorge. Participating cross country areas include Jackson XC, Great Glen Trails, Gunstock Mountain Resort XC, Purity Spring XC, Waterville Valley XC, Pine Hill Ski Club and Bretton Woods XC.
