Cranmore’s goal is to create lifelong passions for skiing and snowboarding. Our pros are trained in the Terrain Based Learning Method ™, a game-changing revolution within the snow industry, adopted by some of the best ski schools in the country.

Using specifically shaped snow features to naturally control your speed and body position, Terrain Based Learning removes the traditional fears and anxieties associated with your first time sliding on snow, allowing you to focus purely on the fun.
