Beginner skiers and snowboarders are invited to hit the slopes at ski areas throughout New Hampshire on Friday, January 8 at 10 a.m. Ski areas all over the United States will be holding ski and snowboard lessons in their respective time zones to set the world record for the largest multi-venue ski and the largest multi-venue snowboard lessons ever taught. This is not one giant lesson, but a series of lesson groups being taught in ski areas’ local time zones. Be part of this historical event and have some fun, too. Participating Ski NH members are offering a “10 at 10” deal that day. For only $10, beginner skiers and riders can get a Level 1 class at 10 a.m. along with rentals and lift ticket, while participating in this Guinness Book of World Records event.
