We also offer a School Ski Program (also available to organized Youth Groups) at very reasonable rates. One teacher/chaperone will get the package at no charge: additional chaperones may participate in the program at the student rate.

The Cafeteria is geared to handle large groups in fairly short order. Lunch packages are available.
