Hunter Mountain | Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guide

Virtual Tours of the Learning Center: Arrival Area | Inside the Learning Center

Skiing and snowboarding are active winter sports that can be enjoyed for decades. Many people enjoy snow sports well into their 70s.... some even into their 80s. These are sports that anyone, with a little determination, can learn rather quickly.

The benefits of skiing and snowboarding are numerous. Many people are hidden away in their homes living sedentary lives during the winter months, waiting out the cold, not exercising, and becoming out of shape. In contrast, many skiers and snowboarders live for winter. These are healthy, outdoor winter activities that lift the spirit and exercise the body. These sports offer comeraderie, and many friendships are made on chairlift rides up the mountain. They offer you goals to work towards, challenging you to push yourself a little further each day, improving your skills and heightening your awareness of the environment. And they are carried out in a beautiful mountain atmosphere that, combined with the experience of controlled sliding down a snow-covered slope, is second to no other sport.
