Free Skis Part Of Cranmore Get Skiing Promo

By Heather Burke, Boston.com Correspondent

Here’s a sweet learn-to-ski deal with free skis at the end.
Cranmore’s GET Ski Package (that’s their alpine acronym for Guaranteed Easy Turns) includes three lessons, rental equipment, and lift tickets for $299. After your third lesson, you get a brand new pair of Rossignol Experience 74 skis and bindings. Also included is a discount on Rossignol ski boots at the Sport Thoma at Cranmore. Unlike most lesson programs, where you pay for lessons, rental equipment is extra, and after completion you are looking at spending serious cash buying ski equipment, Cranmore’s program has you set up from start to finish – with a shiny pair of $600 Rossi skis upon graduation.

“Our goal is to make learning the sport of skiing as easy as possible while at the same time providing our guests with a positive and more importantly, fun learning experience,” said Cranmore President and General Manager Ben Wilcox. “We are giving the first time skier the tools needed to become a lifelong enthusiast of the sport.”

The “Take 3 and own your own skis” package is $299 for three-lesson days of your choosing, and is for first-time skiers, ages 13 and older only. You can register at Cranmore.com

Cranmore has really stepped up its lesson programs, with Terrain Based Learning features on the hill to assist with the learning curve. Cranmore also offers Free TBL Days on December 21, 2014, January 19, and March 15, 2015.
