One of the great bonuses to living in New Hampshire is access to so many fabulous mountains to enjoy winter sports. Several area ski facilities offer a variety of alpine, nordic, and snowboard programs just for home educated students. Many have groups already in place; ask to be connected with the coordinator, or consider starting one of your own. Please contact them directly for more information including pricing, schedules, availability, or to register. Also note that some local public schools and recreation departments offer group ski programs, too.
