We are thrilled to bring back another exciting season of Ski Club for our middle school students!
Open to Hopkinton residents in grades 6–8, this popular program offers a great opportunity to hit the slopes at Wachusett Mountain on Tuesdays, January 6-February 10, 2026. Please note, if there is no school, there will be no ski club.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skier, you’ll enjoy weekly trips complete with lessons and plenty of time to ski or snowboard. Lessons are available for all levels but are not required. Students can bring their own ski equipment or rent equipment for the session. Students travel in comfort on coach-style buses departing right from their school—let the winter fun begin!
Registration requires TWO purchases:
Step 1: Bus Pass, register below. Cost of the bus pass is $160. The last day to purchase a bus pass is December 12th.
Step 2: Lift ticket directly from Wachusett Mountain via their website. You must purchase a bus pass before you are able to purchase a school group lift ticket. The invoice for the bus pass will contain the access code needed to purchase your school group lift ticket. Cost of the lift ticket is $195. This will increase by $30 on December 1st. The last day to purchase a lift ticket is December 12th.
Detailed program instructions will be emailed by December 19th. Wachusett Mountain provides $20 coupons for missed ski trips. Participants must request their coupon from ski club coordinator on their next ski trip.
Bus Policy
For the safety of all registrants in the ski club, participants who have purchased a bus pass are required to ride the bus to and from the mountain. Guardians are not allowed to drop off or pick up participants at any time during the program - no exceptions will be made.
Need to rent equipment?
Here are two options:
Rent from Wachusett Mountain via their website. Skis, snowboards and helmets are available to rent directly through the school group tab. You will be offered rental options when purchasing your group lift ticket. If you choose this option, your child will pick up and drop of the skis at Wachusett Mountain on each trip. This rental option is the most convenient choice for kids who plan to ski only during ski club. Rental pricing is located in the link below titled Wachusett Mountain Info Flyer.
Rent from a local store. Ski Barn Westboro, Boston Ski and Tennis Westboro, Ski Barn, Shrewsbury or Village Ski, Franklin are great locations. This option is great if your child plans to ski throughout the winter, not just during ski club. Costs vary depending on location.
Ski and Board Lessons
Lessons are available to purchase directly from Wachusett Mountain via the school group page on their website.
