Why should kids be exposed to skiing with the Eastern Slope Ski Club?

Skiing is part of the Mt Washington Valley winter identity. We have long snowy winters, fantastic ski resorts and skiing is part of our culture. Legends like Hannes Schneider and Olympic skier Leanne Smith have put the Mt Washington Valley on the map for world class skiing and Olympic success.

In a well run ski club a child will experience a philosophy of long term development of all facets of winter sport. Our Junior Programs will first expose children to fun and excitement, but also provide them with a life skills education through the skills improvement, focus, dedication, planning and goal setting, perseverance, strategic thinking, camaraderie, and good coaching.

Besides, skiing is just plain Wicked Fun! 🙂
