Gunstock Outreach Program

The Outreach Program has ended for the 2024 Season! 

We were happy to be part of the snowsports experience for over 3,760 participants from 62 local programs. All of us at Gunstock loved watching Outreach participants learn, test their new skills and simply have fun on the mountain with friends old and new.

We look forward to seeing you next season!

The Outreach Office closes for the season at the end of March and will re-open at the beginning of August. 

If you are looking for information about how to coordinate a program, please email us at outreach@gunstock.com to request a New Program Information Packet.

Please be aware that the Gunstock Outreach Program is high in demand, and we have limited availability to add new programs. We encourage you to carefully read the information packet and send us a follow-up email if you are interested in exploring program options. 

 


From a Gunstock guest:

I just wanted to reach out and share some positive feedback regarding our family’s experience with Gunstock this year.

Our children got into skiing through your outreach program through our local public school here. This winter we took advantage of the half-off passes that family members could utilize for the night skiing program. I took my son up one evening and stayed until closing. This was my first time skiing again in 19 years, and we had an absolute blast! Over February vacation we then loaded up the whole family and went up there a couple times to take advantage of the additional passes that were included in the outreach program. We had a wonderful time, and now our family is making plans to integrate skiing into our winter activities and budget planning for next year.

TThe staff there have all been courteous and pleasant to work with. We are very fortunate to have a family-friendly ski hill so close to home.

Looking forward to more time with the family on the slopes next year!                                                                                                                                       --W.S.
