2009 Middle School Ski Program

 

The Town of Dover is offering a recreational ski/snowboard program to children attending the Dover/Sherborn Middle School in grades 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The program will be located at Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, MA. The program will be offered Fridays, on January 9, 16, 23, 30 and February 6, & 13 2008. This program offers families an inexpensive way to introduce their children to skiing or snowboarding, or to improve their skills. The program for either skiing or snowboarding includes an evening lift ticket that will be valid from 4:00pm - 7:30pm on the above dated Friday's. Nashoba is a 50 minute drive from Dover and has excellent instructors and snow-making equipment. Rental equipment is available but must be fitted and payed for directly through Nashoba Valley. For identification & safety reasons we would like all participants to wear the town recreation department identifier. This will be issued to you and if not returned at the end of the season, there will be a replacement cost associated.
