School ski trips to Loon
Featuring all the charm of a European resort, Loon is an excellent option for school groups who want to benefit from a familiar atmosphere while enjoying North America’s trademark terrain, snow surety and service. It’s located in the White Mountain National Forest, just off the Kancamangus highway, and benefits from brilliant panoramic views and easy access.
Features
The most accessible mountain in the east, Loon features several entry points to the mountain and three unique peaks, as well as a high-speed chairlift to provide quick access to the slopes. Those new to skiing will feel safe in the Family Ski Zone on Bear Claw – a slow skiing and riding area.
Beginners are well catered for here whilst intermediates will benefit from the addition of some more challenging trails at the summit. Experts aren’t left out with some amazing skiing on the North Peak, and a selection of award-winning terrain parks and pipes.
