Build Relationships. Create Connections. Welcome to a community where relationships matter. We’re united by not only our passion for skiing, but also by shared experiences. We know each other’s names, we do dish crew together, we listen to one another and support each other. We’re on this journey together.

Whether you’re a boarding or day student, an international student or a Mad River Valley local, a new student or a veteran, our tight-knit community will make you feel at home.
