This year, due to popular request and following the great success of having more families last year, I would like to take Eagle House to America! Sunday River, 4 hours from Boston is an ideal location.
STOP PRESS: We have been upgraded to a better hotel in unday River - The Jordan Grand Hotel!! It also is a 4 star hotel with ski in/ski out ability, but with extra perks for adults in particular!!
Our departure date will be Monday 29th March and we are currently set to fly with Virgin Airways from Heathrow. We leave Boston in the evening on Monday 5th March, having spent the day at a retail outlet and arrive back in the UK in the morning on Tuesday 6th April. 7 nights with 6 days of skiing.
The cost will be approximately £1220 for pupil skiers and snowboarders (NB: to snowboard we need 7-8 boys of the same ability). All unaccompanied pupils will be in rooms sleeping 4 on two double beds.
The cost for adults will start at £1280 with additions for rooming arrangements and tuition, as tuition is NOT included in this price.
Adults and families can choose from standard rooms, studio apartments, deluxe studios and suites, as well as various amounts of tuition or guiding and costs will depend on what is chosen.
