Blue Mountain to celebrate ski month

January is National Learn to Ski and Snowboard month, and Blue Mountain Resort is celebrating all month long.

The Learn to Ski and Snowboard/Bring a Friend initiative began in 2009 and has since expanded, promoting taking lessons from professional instructors.

To encourage newcomers to the sport, there will be discounted family and friends lesson packages, free beginner lessons, and Bring-A-Friend promotions throughout January.
