HISTORY
Some 2023 NOMA Ski Weekend participants in South Lake Tahoe, CA
The NOMA Ski Weekend started in 2022, when the inaugural event was hosted by the NOMA Colorado chapter at Keystone Ski Resort in Keystone, CO. The second trip was hosted in 2023 by the SoCal NOMA chapter at Heavenly Resort in South Lake Tahoe, CA.
​
The 3rd Annual NOMA Ski Weekend in 2024 was held in the Northeast region at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, NH, and was hosted by Boston's BosNOMA chapter!
​
Each year, NOMA members, family, friends, and loved ones come together to get away and partake in winter activities, such as skiing, snowboarding, and lounging. The event has a loose itinerary, allowing participants to tailor their time on the trip to their level of experience and excursion interests.

Activities Around Lincoln

Clothing and accessories to consider?
Being cold and damp is... not great. And acquiring proper gear ahead of time can be quite a bit cheaper than buying at the resort. Please see the article at the link below, explaining what to consider wearing and why: https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/what-to-wear-skiing-and-snowboarding.html
