A small mountain feel makes Wildcat ideal for school groups, with great snow and fast summit lifts. Wildcat’s superb ski school gives fast progression for every skier, starting first-timers out in the Snowcat ski area, while improvers can tackle the three mile Polecat run.
The awe-inspiring views of Mt. Washington, great snow and big skiing with a small mountain feel make this resort a perfect choice for school groups.
