Carroll School is excited to offer our ski/snowboard program at Nashoba Valley. Open to all students in Grades 6-9, this program runs on Fridays beginning in January. 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. There are no refunds for those who choose not to attend the on-campus program.
All skiers and riders must have experience. Students should be able to put their ski/snowboard boots on by themselves. Riders should also have enough experience to get down the mountain by themselves without any additional help/teacher instruction. Before we leave for Nashoba, we make sure the kids have a group to ski with and that they are never alone. Teachers circulate throughout the mountain to check on the groups. Students are given a lot of independence when they ski, that’s why having experience is necessary. Carroll School rules apply to all students while on the vans/skiing. If a student cannot follow Carroll rules, they will lose their privilege to attend future trips. Please find the specifics of the program below, and we hope to see you on the slopes.

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 or order a lunch for your child. We will have time to eat before the afternoon activities get started.
