Make It a Healthy Winter for Your Employees

Just sign up for our Employee Lift Ticket Savings Program this season.

It works like this. Companies with a workforce of at least 50 employees can sign up. There are no up-front costs to your company - you only pay monthly for lift tickets that are sold. Employees can use the lift tickets any day at Waterville Valley or Cranmore or exchange them for a first-timer's introduction to skiing or snowboarding, which includes rental equipment, two-hour group lesson and a learning-area lift ticket (for ages 7 and up). These ticket programs are for employees, their families and friends. If interested, please contact Conrad at WV Group sales at coldenburg@boothcreek.com.
