January is Learn To Ski & Ride Month!

Having trouble coming up with reasons to leave your Netflix nest in your living room over the past few days? Wondering why you live in a state where it's below 40 degrees for 6 months out of the year? I'll bet you wish there was something you could do to enjoy this frosty weather instead of lamenting it for a whole season.

Answer: How about learning to ski or snowboard?

January is Learn to Ski & Ride month across the nation, but here in Vermont we do it particularly well. We boast some of the best and most qualified instructors in the nation, along with excellent terrain for designated learning areas. You won't find any 13,000 ft elevation or 2,700 ft vertical drops here. The Green Mountains tend to be more rolling and lend themselves better to first-timers than other resorts in larger mountain ranges.

Here's the deal: Most days in January, we're offering special beginner-only learn-to packages through our ski & ride school. Just sign up here, choose your date and get a group lesson, lift ticket and 1-day rental package for just $29. Yes, you read that right. Less than 30 bucks gets you fully set up for a day on the slopes. Come try it out, let our professional instructors show you the ropes and even if it's not for you, there's a bar and a hot tub just steps from the slopes. Gotta end the day on a good note, right?

If you do have a great time, which I'm confident you will, come back for more group or private lessons from our crew to really advance your skills quickly. The best way to learn is really through a few lessons and after that, you'll be shredding the gnar like a pro!

So, if you're sick of staying inside all winter, boot up and hit the slopes with us. Bring a friend or three and you might just get addicted to a new hobby. There’s no better time to learn than January.
