Ski School Programs

Why should school Students learn to ski or snowboard?

  • Skiing and snowboarding are great ways to spend quality time with family, friends, fellow students and teachers.
  • Skiing and snowboarding are perfect ways to get everyone out in the fresh air, learn new skills and make memories.
  • Skiing and snowboarding skills last a lifetime. Studies show that over fifty percent of all adult skiers/boarders began skiing/riding  before the age of twelve.
  • Skiing and boarding will improve the level of physical fitness among school aged children and teach them a healthy way to enjoy the outdoors in the winter.
  • Skiing and boarding are safe sports. Contrary to media attention, accident statistics for skiing average less than 2 per 1000 visits as compared to 21 per 1000 in hockey or football. (Ski Industry Statistics)
  • Students and teachers arrive back at school refreshed, tired but refreshed!

Long Lake’s Ski School rates are: Grade K-12 $20.00/Student
