Harvard students will have a unique opportunity in has weeks following the Christmas holidays, to take advantage of the snow-covered ski-slopes only a few hours away train, but or car from Cambridge--in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Weekdays afford the student the lowest possible prices at the best inns and beautiful trails that are not nearly so crowded as on weekends.

Included in this package plan are two meals a day, a room, transportation to and from the ski area, and admission to the Skimboile.
