SKI PROGRAM 2012
The Chelmsford Community Education Ski Program at Nashoba Valley Ski Area was completed as of Thursday, February 9, 2012. We were able to run for six consecutive weeks, despite the unusually warm season which made for challenging snow conditions! We hope your children had a marvelous time!
