Newbury, NH – (August, 2007) – Whether you want to try before you buy, pamper yourself a little, rub elbows with an Olympic gold medalist, slide down the hill on something other than skis or a snowboard or just want a great cup of coffee, you will find it at Mount Sunapee this winter.

From opening day through Friday, December 21, Mount Sunapee will be offering its popular Get Into Skiing/Snowboarding and Families First one-day introductory programs for FREE.  The “Get Into” program is for individuals ages 13 and up.  Families First teaches families together with children at least 8 years old.  The one-day introductory program includes a two-hour group lesson, an all day lift ticket to the South Peak Learning Area and specially designed rental equipment that aid in the learning process.  Call 603-763-3500 to confirm availability.

“We are committed to growing our sport and introducing as many people as we can to one of the few forms of outdoor, physical recreation that families can enjoy together for their entire lives,” said Bruce McCloy, director of marketing.

The beautiful new Hearthstone Room featuring a large fieldstone fireplace will be made available to individual guests on weekends and holidays when it is not rented for a function or to a group.  Parties of two or more can reserve space for $30 per person (not including a lift ticket) and receive a light continental breakfast, buffet lunch and après-ski appetizers in a cozy atmosphere shared with no more than 30 other guests.  Availability and reservation information will be posted on the web site.

Olympic gold medalist Ross Powers brings his posse of pros and top instructors to Mount Sunapee February 23-24, 2008 for a two-day snowboard camp that will propel young riders to that next level.  Proceeds from the camp benefit the Ross Powers foundation.

And, if you just want a good cup of coffee, there will be two new coffee bars at Mount Sunapee this winter.  Located in the Sunapee Lodge and the Summit Lodge, the coffee bars will feature premier coffee grinds, espresso and specialty coffee drinks.
