This video invites you into our culture of the Skiing & Snowboarding recreation programs.
Weekend Recreation Program
Snowsports trips commence in January and are designed for students looking for a program that provides a healthy amount of ride time for beginners to advanced riders.
Students in the Recreation Program will spend 10 weekends at Ikon resorts. This program leaves Friday after classes and returns Sunday evening. Every student will have plenty of time to ride with friends. Beginners will be able to take advantage of lessons at Ikon resorts. Safety is always a top priority so chaperones will evaluate snow and weather conditions.

Wasatch Academy + Snowland
Since the 1990s, Wasatch Academy has leased property from the U.S. Forest Service in Fairview Canyon, about 20 minutes from campus. This property, which includes a small cabin, has served as a terrain park for ski and snowboard enthusiasts of all levels. During the winter months, it has been a beloved destination for Wasatch Academy students and the local community, fostering a lifelong passion for snowsports and creating lasting memories on the slopes.
Wasatch Academy looks forward to future partnerships that will further expand snowsports opportunities at the property for both the school and the local community.
