Come learn to cross-country ski with us on the trails of Waterville Valley this MLK holiday! In the morning, we'll start with a short intro on how to classic XC ski, then hit the trails, and in the last hour we'll practice our new skiing skills by making ice cream while XC skiing! Curious? Sign up!
We'll plan to start skiing by 9am and head back to Boston at 2pm.
