Jan 6 - Mar 30, 2025

Join Us for a Winter Semester Full of Thrilling Outdoor Adventures!

Get ready for an action-packed winter with NBW’s Winter Outdoor Academy! Tailored for adventure-loving kids, this program delivers an unparalleled outdoor sports experience that blends convenience, excitement, and expert instruction. Our academy operates on the move, making it easy to access premier skiing and snowboarding sessions at Mountain Creek, alongside thrilling skateboarding activities at top locations. 🏂🏄‍♂️❄️

Every week, your child will engage in immersive sessions of skiing, snowboarding, and skateboarding, all led by experienced instructors in a supportive and fun environment.

Skiing & Snowboarding Academy

Ski and snowboard sessions are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays

• Tuesdays: For advanced skiers and snowboarders who are comfortable on black diamond slopes. The focus is on mastering advanced techniques and enhancing skills in the terrain park/slopestyle.
• Wednesdays: Primarily reserved for the Avenues New York / Manhattan school team, pending their exact schedule. Please contact us in advance if you're interested in joining. Departure from the city is around 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm.
• Thursdays: Open to all skill levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. 

Beginners

We start with introductory sessions at Big Snow in November (Mondays or Thursdays). Newcomers are required to take a few private lessons before joining our winter academy to ensure they’re prepared for independent skiing or snowboarding. This preparation helps beginners avoid crowded bunny slopes once the season is in full swing. For most NBW kids with prior experience, we still recommend private lessons to build confidence.

Advanced Groups

Advanced skiers and snowboarders will focus on refining their skills in the terrain park, while intermediate groups work on building a strong foundation and mastering essential techniques.

Note: Skiing and snowboarding spots are limited and available on a drop-in basis. Priority is given to year-round regulars, not just winter participants. Custom semester packages are available for those interested in a multi-week arrangement.

Included in the Program

• Round-trip transportation
• Professional guiding and instruction
• Full organization and logistics

After-Ski Dinner Option (Weekdays Only)

On weekday Mountain Creek sessions (excluding Saturdays), kids have the option to enjoy dinner after skiing before returning to NYC. This allows them to unwind and refuel after active time on the slopes! Dinner costs typically range from $6-10, payable after each session.

Skateboarding Sessions

Our outdoor skateboarding program continues throughout the winter on Tuesdays and Fridays, utilizing fantastic nearby parks and our indoor skatepark, ensuring fun regardless of the weather. All skateboarding equipment (boards and pads) is provided, but kids should bring their own helmets.
