Families First (Ages 8+)

Mount Sunapee's Families First program received a national award from the National Ski Areas Association. This has quickly become one of Mount Sunapee’s most popular learning programs.

Families First allows families to learn how to ski OR snowboard together in the same class. Family members must be at least eight years old. Minimum of 3 participants required.

“With a bunch of people who don’t know each other the only thing they have in common is that they are beginners,” says Peter Ettenborough, Mount Sunapee ski instructor, “with a family, everyone is comfortable with each other. The parents know the kids are safe, and the kids know their parents are right here, so their confidence level is higher.”

Weekday lessons go out at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm.

Weekend lessons go out every hour from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.

Families First program includes:
  • A two-hour introductory ski or snowboard lesson
  • Specially designed rental skis or snowboard that makes learning easier
  • Full-day lift ticket to the South Peak Learning Area
