2023 School Ski Trip to New Hampshire

Forming part of the school’s comprehensive enrichment programme, the Senior School Ski Trip has proved incredibly successful over recent years. March 2023 will now see Bridgewater students take to the slopes in the beautiful White Mountain National Forest, in New Hampshire, USA. The group will depart from Manchester Airport on Monday 27th March, arriving back on Monday 3rd April 2023.

Organised in partnership with True North Travel, the New Hampshire ski safari offers the ultimate East Coast USA ski experience, with students able to ski two different areas within the National Forest:

  • Cannon Mountain – home to New Hampshire’s highest ski area summit and boasting spectacular scenery. There is a separate learn-to-ski area and a variety of more challenging trails for intermediate and advanced skiers
  • Waterville Valley – this village sits at the foot of Mt. Tecumseh and has hosted 13 world cup ski events. The ski area covers 220 acres of varied terrain and has snowmaking facilities covering the entire resort

A short distance away is the resort of Owls Nest and the nearby town of Thornton which provide a variety of evening activities including swimming, bowling, cinema, ice skating, tennis and other leisure facilities. The trip also includes a Boston stopover with a trip to Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox, and time in the famous Quincy Market.

The trip is open to students going into Years 8 to 13 and a deposit is required to secure your child’s place. Please visit your ParentPay account before Monday 8th August 2022 to book. Flexible payment plans are available.

Pupils' experiences are enriched by an extensive range of visits and extra-curricular activities.
