Weekend Recreation Program

Snowsports trips commence in January and are designed for students looking for a program that provides a healthy amount of ride time for beginners to advanced riders. 

Students in the Recreation Program will spend 10 weekends at Ikon resorts. This program leaves Friday after classes and returns Sunday evening. Every student will have plenty of time to ride with friends. Beginners will be able to take advantage of lessons at Ikon resorts. Safety is always a top priority so chaperones will evaluate snow and weather conditions.
