Tips for Planning Your Group Ski Trip in New England

Tips for Planning Your Group Ski Trip in New England

It’s not too early to start planning your group ski trip and New England has an abundance of ski resorts for all type of groups.  A&A Metro Transportation will provide transportation for your group whether it is for a ski club, a church group or for one day or several days.  Besides the usual downhill trails, many resorts include other winter sports like snowshoeing, dog-sledding, snow-tubing, ice-fishing, cross-country skiing and ice-skating. It’s a good idea to start your planning early so you can take advantage of all the options that are available to you. The best tip for a successful group trip is to do your research on the various resorts and insure you get exactly what you want for your group. A&A Metro can also help you take advantage of some discounts that we’ve been offered for many of the resorts.

Here are some tips to consider when planning your group:

Consider the skiing level of your group
If your group has mixed abilities then look at a resort that has a varied terrain to keep everyone happy. New England Ski Resorts gives you a snapshot of the number of runs and the skiing levels available.

Pick the time
We all know we can’t control Mother Nature but fortunately most New England ski resorts have snowmaking machines, so even when the temperatures only get low at night, they are able to provide plenty of snow for the day. Keep in mind that novice skiers don’t appreciate the freezing cold that comes in January while ski enthusiasts are just happy the snow is guaranteed.

Accommodation size
If you have a large group size then you’ll most likely need to consider a hotel option while smaller groups can be accommodated in cottages or condominiums. You want to choose a resort that has a good balance between too little going on and too much. If there is too little, people will be looking around for things to do; if there is too much then it becomes more difficult for your group to stay together and be organized. Check with the hotel or other accommodations to help recommend good restaurants in the area for your group size.
