What is Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month? Here's a little background from their website-

HUMANS WERE NEVER MEANT to HIBERNATE Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month in January encourages children and adults to learn by taking lessons from professional instructors. It also challenges current skiers and snowboarders to improve their skills through lessons. Ski and snowboard areas throughout the U.S. offer free and reasonably priced turnkey lesson programs during January as part of this initiative. The national Web site and Web sites of partners provides useful information for beginners and current participants who want to improve. SHARE OUR PASSION We love to ski and snowboard and want to share our passion. LSSM makes it easy for children and adults to find learning programs that best suit them so they can get outside and enjoy some physical activity during the winter. Skiing and snowboarding are lifetime sports. Starting out smart – taking lessons, dressing to stay warm and fueling the body with sensible foods – is the first step. Current skiers and snowboarders can increase their expertise by taking more advanced lessons and brushing up on "best practices". OUR HISTORY LSSM began in 2007 when a few resort associations launched their state-wide programs. Now more than 300 resorts in 32 states offer special learning programs during January. Governors from many states proclaim January Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month. Some states also offer learning programs for cross country skiing and snowshoeing as part of the initiative. Remember, Humans Were Never Meant to Hibernate. |
