Mount Washington Alpine Resort will be offering free learn to ski and snowboard packages during the ResortB次元官网网址檚 Discovery Days program, Jan. 14-25.
The program is available to guests 13 years and over who have never skied or snowboarded before. The free learn to ski or snowboard program is now in its second year and is part of Mt. WashingtonB次元官网网址檚 stated objective of introducing more people to snow sports. In order to remove cost as a potential deterrent, the program includes a two-hour Discovery Lesson, equipment rental, and a beginner area lift ticket all for free.
Mount Washington has a history of making snow sports accessible to beginners. Last year the resort introduced the Discovery Lessons, and more than 1,000 people took part. In conjunction with other innovative programs like the six-year olds ski free program and a program called the B次元官网网址淩ookie YearB次元官网网址� which features extensive savings for beginners, Mt. Washington has positioned itself as a leader in the ski industry well known for making skiing and snowboarding easy to access for every demographic of Canadian.

B次元官网网址淥ur goal for the free lesson package is to introduce the skiing lifestyle to beginners. We guarantee by the end of the lesson you will be able to turn left and right, and youB次元官网网址檒l be able to stop on our beginner terrain.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淭he response to the Discovery Days program last year was extraordinary with over three times the number of participants we expected,B次元官网网址� said Dean Prentice, Mt. WashingtonB次元官网网址檚 general manager. B次元官网网址淚ntroducing new people to snow sports through programs like Discovery Days is imperative to the industryB次元官网网址檚 overall health, and we think itB次元官网网址檚 part of a healthy lifestyle which gets people up and active in the colder months of the year when they might otherwise not get out as much.B次元官网网址�
The resort is looking to make snow sports part of more Vancouver Island residentsB次元官网网址� activity repertoire.
B次元官网网址淭he program is not just a one-off. We follow-up with a heavily discounted group of lessons that take you from a beginner to a confident rider,B次元官网网址� added Manara.
