Winter officially began more than a month ago, so there is still a lot of winter left and what better way to enjoy the season, than out skiing and snowboarding at Canada’s ski and snowboard areas.
And kids in Grade 4 and 5 can do it for free with the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass. The Canadian Ski Council has been providing kids in Grades 4 and 5 with free skiing and snowboarding for 15 years with the program.
Kids born in 2001 or 2002 from across Canada have the opportunity to ski or ride for free up to three times at each participating ski area in their region this winter. There are 60 ski areas on the Canada West SnowPass card, including Silver Star Mountain Resort. Applications are available online at www.snowpass.ca. All you have to do is upload your child’s picture, proof of age and enter your method of payment and your child’s personalized SnowPass will be mailed directly to your home.
