Snow Wood Boarding House

The Snow Wood Boarding House is an academy in Winters in EarthBound. The academy is located in the north of Winters. Jeff is one of the many students who attend the school. The building is two stories high and consists of four rooms, two on each floor. On the first floor is a lab where Maxwell is found. Next to that is the locker room where several equippable items are found, however the lockers require the Bad Key Machine in order to open.

On the second floor is where Jeff and Tony's room is found, namely the room on the right. Beside that is a room filled with presents, each containing a hand-decorated Cookie made for Tony's birthday. Jeff can open the presents and take the cookies, to the disbelief of the student who made them. Outside is the gate to the school where Tony assists Jeff on climbing over. As the gate never opens, the school becomes inaccessible for the rest of the game.

The music is a remix of the Snowman theme from EarthBound Beginnings.

History
During the night, Jeff is woken by a telepathic call from Paula, as she and Ness are in need of his assistance. His roommate Tony assists him as he tries to leave in the night. They attempt to aquire gear for Jeff to use on the journey, but the lockers are locked, so Maxwell gives a key to open the lockers. Because the key is bent, it is unable to open the lockers, as such Maxwell provides Jeff with the "Machine that Opens Doors, especially when you have a slightly bad key", being the Bad key machine, which successfully opens the lockers, and is essential for rescuing Ness and Paula. After gearing up, Tony then boosts Jeff over the gate in the front of the school.
