White Mountains.
New Hampshire offers the perfect combination of excellent accommodation, extensive skiing,and outlet shopping, making it an ideal destination for school groups. The state’s natural beauty is striking, with jagged mountains, scenic valleys, and forest-lined lakes providing a dramatic and unforgettable setting for skiing. The towns surrounding the resorts are welcoming, with modern facilities, restaurants, and shops that make life easy for group leaders and students alike.
Skiing in Waterville Valley & Cannon Mountain.
Nestled in the beautiful White Mountains, New Hampshire is a skier’s paradise. With several mountains to choose from, we have selected Waterville Valley & Cannon Mountain as the best options for school groups. From gentle beginner slopes to challenging runs for more advanced skiers, ensuring that every student can enjoy the mountain at their own pace. Located just 2 hours from Boston, students can combine the thrill of skiing with the excitement of a nearby city.
Apres Ski
After an exciting day on the slopes, school groups visiting New Hampshire have plenty of fun and relaxing après-ski options.
At Owl’s Nest Resort, students can unwind in the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, or head a short drive away for ice skating, bowling, or the cinema — perfect for finishing the day together.
In Waterville Valley, students staying at the Silver Fox Inn or Black Bear Lodge can enjoy the resort village’s lively Town Square, with safe, walkable access to ice skating, shopping, or a cozy hot chocolate by the fire. The Black Bear Lodge also offers an indoor pool and hot tub, ideal for recharging before another day on the mountain.
With a mix of active and social activities, these après-ski experiences strike the perfect balance of fun, relaxation, and team spirit — making every New Hampshire ski trip a memorable adventure.
New Hampshire Shopping
A bit of shopping is always a hit after a few days on the slopes! The Tilton Outlets and the Mall of New Hampshire are perfect stops for Irish school groups looking to grab some bargains and enjoy a taste of American retail life. From big-name brands and great outlet deals in Tilton to the lively indoor buzz of the Mall of New Hampshire — with its mix of shops, snacks, and fun hangout spots — there’s something for everyone. It’s the ideal way to unwind, pick up a few souvenirs, and add a little extra excitement to the ski trip experience.
