Since 1948 Sky Tavern ski area has hosted America’s oldest and largest non-profit ski and snowboard program for kids. Available to all children, including those from economically disadvantaged families and those with disabilities, the program is run entirely by volunteers, mostly parents, who instruct and work in supportive roles. The mission of Sky Tavern is to provide a safe and fun family environment in which kids may learn, develop confidence and gain a lifelong love of outdoor sports at a reasonable price.
