Not a skier? Not a problem! Intro to Snow Sports Program teaches beginners how to alpine and Nordic ski, snowboard, ice skate, and snowshoe. The program promotes outdoor adventuring, the learning of new skills, and the benefits of physical fitness. To encourage skill development, the group usually practices one activity for several days in a row before switching to a new sport. The group typically splits its time evenly between Loon Mountain (alpine skiing and snowboarding) and our beautiful campus (Nordic skiing, skating, and snowshoeing).
