WOMEN'S PROGRAMS
Many Ski NH winter resorts offer women-only classes in skiing and snowboarding, with the understanding that women often prefer to learn with other women, under the leadership of women instructors. Other programs are geared towards meeting the scheduling needs of busy women trying to manage work, a home, kids… and some much-needed snow time.
