Winter’s just around the corner.
Get your kids ready with the best ski and snowboard deal in town.
Winter is just around the corner. Do you know what you are going to do to keep your kids active this season? Why not put skiing and snowboarding on your list of outdoor activities for your family to participate in? The Canadian Ski Council (CSC) has a great way to help you out! The CSC’s Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is back for its 20th season, just in time for the return of winter. The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is an unbeatable offer, providing 9- and 10-year-old children with three lift passes at each of the 158 ski areas, nationwide, for just $29.95. That’s over 470 lift passes!
SnowPass Advantage: Winter is a tough time of the year to keep your kids active; it gets dark sooner and the temperatures begin to drop. To curb the chances of your kids spending the whole winter playing on their electronics, why not get them involved in skiing or snowboarding? These winter sports will keep them from feeling the winter blues and instead enjoy some time in the great Canadian outdoors.
How It Works: The SnowPass program provides children in grades 4 and 5 (or born in 2006 or 2007) with three lift passes for each participating ski area, providing them with an opportunity to ski or snowboard hundreds of times over the winter season. If you apply for your child’s SnowPass while they are in grade 4, the pass is good for two whole years! This gives your child the proper opportunity to experience all types of ski areas that Canada has to offer.
Applying is Easy: Getting your SnowPass has never been easier. To get your SnowPass, please visit www.snowpass.ca (or www.passeportdesneiges.ca for French speaking applicants), where you’ll be able to upload your child’s picture, proof of age, and pay the small $29.95 administration fee.
Where it Works: The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is a national program and is valid at 158 ski areas across Canada, including 31 ski areas in British Columbia, 24 in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan, 3 in Manitoba, 31 in Ontario, 59 in Quebec, 8 in Atlantic Canada, and 1 in the Yukon. So no matter where you live, you can take advantage of this fantastic offer. To see the list of participating ski areas, please visit: www.snowpass.ca.
Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass information and applications are now available online. Application forms are also being distributed to elementary schools across Canada beginning in early November.
Founded in 1977, the Canadian Ski Council is a national, not-for-profit ski and snowboard organization whose mandate is to increase participation in recreational skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing in Canada.
