From never-ever’s to seasoned veterans, the Mount Washington Snow School will slide you up to the next level in your sport. The mountain is known as one of the easiest places to learn to ski and ride in North America, but we are so much more! With our snow instructors by your side, the entire mountain is an ideal training ground for all levels of skier and riders; our adventurous blue runs, tucked-away glades and wide-open powder-filled bowls all have propelled athletics to achieve their goals - including Olympic gold medal wins!

Reserve certain lessons ahead of time and save up to 10% off! View lesson pages for more details.
