Pats Peak’s Passport Program Continues, Offering Adults An All-Inclusive Start To Skiing And Snowboarding

Pats Peak, New Hampshire’s premier destination for snowsports, is excited to announce the return of its popular Passport Program, making it easier than ever for adults to learn to ski or snowboard. Priced at $669, the all-inclusive program includes four beginner packages featuring lift tickets, lessons, and rentals, everything needed to confidently get started on the slopes. Open to participants ages 18 and older, the program also comes with great rewards for those who complete it.

Depending on the option purchased, participants who complete the Passport Program will receive a free pair of Elan Skis or an Elan Snowboard (beginner sizes, subject to availability), plus an Unlimited Pats Peak Season Pass valid for the remainder of the 2025–2026 season. Participants also enjoy discounts at local ski shops and 50% off additional group lessons to continue learning and having fun on the mountain. 

Designed specifically for beginners, the Passport Program helps new skiers and riders build strong foundational skills in a welcoming environment. The program is limited to one per person, and while skis or snowboards are included, boots are not. Equipment is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Lessons can be redeemed any day during the 2025–2026 winter season, with no need to use them consecutively.

Pats Peak has partnered with Finish Line Ski & Board Shop at Pats Peak, S&W Sports in Concord, Proctor Ski & Board in Nashua, Buchika’s Ski & Bike in Salem, Ken Jones in Manchester, and Village Ski & Snowboard in Franklin, MA, to offer Passport participants exclusive discounts on ski or snowboard boots, clothing, and accessories.

“This program is an incredible way for adults to discover skiing or snowboarding while starting to build their own gear collection,” said Kris Blomback, Pats Peak General Manager. “And with the included season pass, participants can keep enjoying the slopes all season long once they’ve completed their lessons.” 

The 2025/2026 season will be PATS PEAK’s 63rd consecutive ski and snowboard season under the Patenaude family ownership. PATS PEAK has 28 well-groomed trails for all abilities, 9 gladed areas, 3 terrain parks, a snowtubing park, 11 lifts, 100 percent snowmaking and some of the most challenging skiing in Southern New Hampshire.

PATS PEAK has a Weekday Learn to Ski and Ride Program for more than 6,000 kids from over 100 local schools. There are more than 70 Adult/Corporate Racing teams in the Adult/Corporate Racing League. Many adults participate in the weekday Adult Ski & Snowboard Clinics for all ability levels. PATS PEAK has 100% of its trails on the main mountain lit for night skiing/riding and is one of the state's most accessible learn-to-ski-and-snowboard mountains, with three separate beginner areas.

During the "Other Season of PATS PEAK", PATS PEAK Banquet Center is the perfect location for wedding receptions, parties, company meetings, company outings, or any social gathering!
