January is ‘Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month’ | Resorts to Offer Special Deals for Beginners

Special Offers Available at Resorts From Alaska to North Carolina and Everywhere in Between

Because “Humans Were Never Meant to Hibernate,” resorts across the country are ready for the 11th Annual Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in January 2019. It’s the snow sports industry’s initiative to get more children and adults outdoors in winter.

Resorts offer their best beginner deals during January, but lessons from professional instructors are available all winter long.

New in 2019 is the addition to the www.learntoskiandsnowboard.org website about 100 Nordic Centers that offer cross-country skiing and often snowshoeing. Some locations are participating in the January Special Offers and all are posted in the Find Resorts section of the website.

The Special Programs/Special Offers section at Learn To Ski and Snowboard.org provides a sampling of beginner lesson programs broken down in alphabetical order by state. Most include a lift ticket, lesson with a professional instructor and rental equipment.

As an example, here is just a very small selection of the resorts participating. Check out the website for the full list…

• California: Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Mountain High, and Snow Valley
• Colorado: Arapahoe Basin
• Maine: Sunday River
• New Mexico: Angel Fire Resort, Pajarito Mt., Red River Ski Area, Sandia Peak Ski Area, Sipapu Ski Resort, Ski Apache, Ski Santa Fe, and Taos Ski Valley

Also new for 2019 is the National Learn to Ski or Snowboard Day Celebration on Friday, January 11, when dozens of resorts across the US will participate to set an industry record for the most beginner lessons taught in one day.

Many of the resorts participating are available on the Ikon Pass, available to buy through the end of Thursday 13th December 2018.
