Information on how to pay for your ski lift ticket will be provided separately after you enroll in the club. $99 optional ski rental and $27 helmet rental fees. $99 ski/board lesson package (required for novice skiers/boarders, optional for others) IMPORTANT regarding NHS winter sports: If there is any chance that your child will be trying out for or joining an NHS winter sports team, they cannot register for the Ski & Snowboard Club. MIAA rules prohibit winter high school athletes from participating in a club sport program as well. If your child were to make a winter sports team, NCE cannot provide a refund. Program is open to beginner-expert skiers/boarders: Due to a Wachusett Mountain policy, beginners must purchase a Wachusett ski/board lesson package ($99).

If you anticipate having conflicts, please do not enroll in the program. Scholarship assistance: Scholarship assistance is available for any Needham Public Schools student whose family is experiencing financial hardship. No student will be denied access into any NCE program because of inability to pay.
