After raising more than $16,000 over the last two years, the Holderness community once again came together to support the Sarah Duval Memorial Fund on Saturday.
The mission of the varsity team is to help develop novice and intermediate athletes into strong, all-mountain and park skiers and riders with broad fundamental skills. Safety, fun, and learning are at the core of everything this team does.
The varsity season starts after Thanksgiving break and ends in early March. Practices at Loon Mountain occur Monday through Friday when school is in session, and prep school slopestyle competitions are held on Wednesdays in January and February throughout the Lakes Region.
Cross training is critical, so athletes become familiar with all aspects of the sport. While our prep school competitions are limited to giant slalom and slopestyle, athletes also spend time learning about half pipe and snowboard cross events.

The geographical location of Holderness School in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has allowed snow sports to develop organically throughout the school’s history. By 1930, The Witness, an Episcopal magazine, emphasized the importance of outdoor activities in the education of young students.
Each week we recognize our student-athletes for their athletic accomplishments. Read on for this months recipients.
Embracing the outdoors and developing a lifelong enjoyment of adventure is at the heart of Holderness School’s mission. Rock Climbing Coach, Laurie Watt, has embodied this mission, striving to make the outdoors a welcoming and accessible place for all. Her hard work has been recognized by her peers as she was recently nominated for the American Mountain Guides Association’s Guide of the Year Award. The Guide of the Year Award is given to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution or achievement of significant value to the mountain guiding profession and has exhibited qualities of loyalty, integrity, and moral courage worthy of emulation.
Congratulations to all the exceptional student-athletes who made this fall sports season a success! Their hard work and dedication were always on display, from the soccer field to the mountain biking trails to the local rock climbing crags. Whether in practice or in competition, our Bulls truly represented Holderness School well.
This summer, Holderness School cemented its status as one of the top snow sports schools in the country with a renewal of its “Gold Certified” club status - and its invitation to join U.S. Ski & Snowboard's High Performance Center Partnership Program.
