Highly recommend for learning to ski/snowboard! Great program for all levels. My 8YO had never done either and was thrilled to try snowboarding. Signed up for 6wk lesson + rental program and after 1st lesson, instantly in love with the sport. Instructor was very patient and from what I can tell, its only been 2 was so far, it is the same instructor each time.

I had an amazing experience skiing at Nashoba Valley Ski Area, and a big reason for that was my instructor, Bill. He was an excellent trainer—patient, knowledgeable, and very encouraging throughout the lesson. Bill explained techniques in a simple, easy-to-understand way and really helped build my confidence on the slopes. Thanks to his guidance, I made real progress and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend Nashoba Valley for anyone learning to ski, and if you get a chance, take a lesson with Bill—you won’t regret it!

I don't really like the instructor of my kids' group lesson. She doesn't seem friendly and know how to teach. I wish my kids have an elder instructor who are more experienced with kids. But slopes is good and the service at the rental and ticket place is fantastic and very helpful.

A nice quiet place to ski and for those that want to learn to ski. Great small mountain, friendly staff and several bunny slope options. 2 kids that know how to ski had a blast with a mountain not packed of skiers while another sibling did an hour of learning to ski; one hour lesson was perfect for a young one and provided much needed confidence and fun for a learner. Ski staff are friendly, respectful and professional. Lodge areas are clean and well maintained. Very easy to get to and could be a nice scenic ride if you take non-highways. Definitely recommend the mountain if you are looking for a quiet atmosphere along with gaining confidence skiing.

Went tubing on Friday night. We were surprised that it wasn't more busy. It's been a cold winter, but we were toasty once we got going. Nice option for tubing with the moving sidewalk, lanes, and tubes. It was a great option to have fun without getting pummeled on the local hill turned sledding hotspot.

The two hour pass is perfection. Enough time to do the whole place twice over. Conditions were great and lived getting in some carving turns with no real lines for a few hours near home.
