Go Stowe !

SWC is pleased announce our plan to host the 2025 Early Season Ski Clinic (formerly known as Bomber's) at Stowe Mountain Resort. This year we are asking you to make a commitment with a refundable deposit. The reason for this early commitment is a recent change in lesson pricing and reservation policy by Vail Resorts, parent company of Stowe Mountain Resort.
We are also narrowing the Clinic to Saturday and Sunday to make it more accessible to skiers with weekday work commitments. The plan is to offer full-day lessons both days for a minimum of four groups of no more than nine skiers each. Availability of snowboard lessons will depend upon sufficient demand.
When and Where: Friday, December 12 through Sunday, December 14, 2025 Stowe, VT area
Who? The Clinic is sponsored by the Schenectady Wintersports Club (SWC)
in conjunction with the Stowe Mountain Resort Ski School. Lessons will be available for skiers (and snowboarders depending upon sufficient demand), with a maximum student to instructor ratio of 9 to 1. Our group planning may allow us to add a "Never-Ever/ Beginner" level instruction group if there is sufficient demand.
What's the Plan? Kick off the weekend Friday Night with a Welcome Party mixer at the SWC Clubhouse in Waterbury Center.
Where will we stay? Clinic lodging will be available at the SWC Clubhouse in Waterbury Center. Non-members will receive a free one year membership in SWC which includes access to the SWC Clubhouse for the 2025-2026 ski season. Lodging at the Clubhouse will be $40 per person per night. This includes the Friday party, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday as well as Saturday night dinner. Children 17 and under stay for free in the same room with their parents. More details on lodging and meals will be sent once we have confirmed all attendees.
Registration: Complete your form for the clinic through this announcement using the Register button. We are asking everyone who is interested to sign up and pay a refundable deposit.
How Much: Pricing for the lessons will be based on the number of participants in each lesson grouping. Our best estimate for two full day lessons will cost approximately $445-495 per person. That is for the entire weekend, not per day! If you have priced lessons recently, you know what a bargain that is, especially given the quality of the instruction at Stowe Mountain Resort. Once the number of attendees is known, we will publish the exact cost of the lessons.
