The Lower School is excited to offer our independent skiing/snowboarding, ski lessons, and tubing programs at Nashoba Valley. This program runs on Fridays beginning January 5, 2024 and ending February 9, 2024, on the following dates: Jan 5, Jan 12, Jan 19, Jan 26 (This is LS Parent Visiting Day, please do not sign-up for independent skiing/boarding/tubing if you plan on taking your child home from Carroll on this day), Feb 2 and Feb 9. We anticipate a great season with lots of snow. Even if the snow is scarce, Nashoba does a tremendous job with snowmaking. *NOTE: If the ski mountain is closed for any reason, Carroll School will provide an on-campus option.

You can contact Nashoba directly at 978-692-3033 to set up an appointment for a fitting and to pre-pay. You can also call your local ski shop for rentals.

- Considering the long day involved in a Friday Program, it is important to pack a lunch and afternoon snack if they are not purchasing something at Nashoba. We will have time to eat before the activities get started.
