Winter Sports

Winter Sports:

• Skiing: Ski NH has a fantastic web page on which they have a list of all of the New Hampshire ski programs for children.  Children anywhere from the tiny tot age right up to the teenage years can find a program.  I highly recommend taking a look at Ski NH’s thorough list and review of programs.  Also, if you do decide to hit the slopes this winter please be sure to investigate Ski NH’s 4th and 5th Grade Snowsports Passports program.  According to their website, the Snowsports Passports program offers “one, two, or three free lift tickets and trail passes” for 33 downhill and cross-country resorts in addition to other great ski resort deals!  Check out the Snowsports Passports site for more details.

• Snow Tubing: Ski NH has another wonderful list of all the places at which you can snow tube this winter!  Just note that many of these places have a minimum age and/or height that you must meet to snow tube.

• Ice Skating: Here is a list of local ice rinks.  Many of these ice rinks offer learn to skate and learn to play hockey lessons, in addition to offering open ice time to just burn off some skating energy.  Several of the rinks also offer birthday party packages for your birthday girl or boy (what a very cool party)!  Please visit the individual rink websites for all of the info.
