PATS PEAK LEARN TO SKI AND RIDE PROGRAM NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION

5-Week Series Plus Bonus Ski Day at Pats Peak, Waterville Valley, and Bretton Woods

Henniker, NH, October 7, 2024 – Pats Peak, southern New Hampshire’s favorite local mountain, is excited to announce that registration for its Learn to Ski and Ride Program is now open! This program offers lift access, lessons for all ability levels, and affordable rental packages.

The Learn to Ski and Ride Program is a five-week series designed for pre-scheduled groups, with each session including a one-hour lesson during their designated day and time, plus lift access for that day. Students register through their school or recreation center coordinator. New groups looking to start a program can contact the Pats Peak Snowsports School at 603-428-3245.

For those unable to join a pre-scheduled group, the Learn to Ski and Ride Open Program is available for individual sign-ups. This option is perfect for students ages 6-17 who want to participate on their own. Students can choose from Monday through Thursday for the first session or Thursday and Friday for the second session. To register, call (603) 428-3245.

Classes are capped at eight students, ensuring personalized instruction. Lessons are available for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, including a popular Freestyle class for those wanting to safely explore terrain parks. For more advanced skiers and riders (Level 5 or above), a Lift Only option is available for those who prefer to skip lessons but still enjoy the program. All participants must be at least six years old by January 1, 2025, and in first grade. Classes begin on Thursday, January 2, 2025, for Session 1, and Thursday, February 13, 2025, for Session 2. Discounted weekday tickets and Parent Frequent User Cards are available for parents and guardians.

As an added bonus, students enrolled in the Learn to Ski and Ride Program will receive a Bonus Day – one free lift ticket to ski or ride at Pats Peak, Waterville Valley, and Bretton Woods. This ticket is valid from Monday, February 24, 2025, through the end of the 2025 ski season at the respective mountain, offering extra time on the slopes at no additional cost.

“This program has been a cornerstone of Pats Peak for over 60 years. We’re thrilled to continue teaching kids the joy of skiing and snowboarding. The NH Ski and Ride Bonus is a great way for students to enjoy more time on the mountain at Pats Peak, Bretton Woods, and Waterville Valley,” said John Pawlak, Snowsports Director at Pats Peak.

The Pats Peak Snowsports School is committed to providing high-quality instruction in a fun and supportive environment.
