About the Program
Pinkerton Academy participates in Gunstock Mountain Resort's Friday night Outreach Program. Students travel by bus from Pinkerton to Gunstock for evening skiing and snowboarding.
Each participant purchases a discounted Gunstock season pass, which can also be used throughout the ski season according to the benefits and restrictions of the selected pass.
Students may bring their own equipment or use the free rental service offered through the Outreach Program. Optional ski and snowboard lessons are also available.
Beginner Disclaimer:
Although lessons are available, students
who have never skied or snowboarded
should not register for this program.
Lessons last only 50 minutes, after
which students ski or ride independently
for the remainder of the evening.
